Elsewhere on Wired:
* Cult of Mac picks up on something we skipped and concludes it's unlikely: [iTunes for Linux][1]. The strange thing is, Amarok is, IMHO, so much better than iTunes, why would you want iTunes on Linux?

* Autopia brings word of a UK-based ad campaign [designed to educate school children][2] about global warming. "BBC News notes that the FOE site also 'includes a game involving a polar bear which destroys a 4x4 vehicle by hurling ice cubes at it.'" Sweet. Does that work?

* Listening Post [has the scoop][3] on the first band to "tour" Second Life. A London-based band Redzone will play a four-show tour inside the virtual world starting this Friday. Saves a bundle on airfare, that's for sure.

* Table of Malcontents continues to [dig up some of the awesome artwork][4] lurking around the webernets. This time it's Ukranian artist Oleg Denisenko who specializes in weird chimera, specifically, "Quixotic-looking sphinxes dress their chicken-legged, dragon-winged bodies in suits of armor constructed with anachronistic mechanical sophistication." (see small pic above)

* And our best headline of the day goes to 27B Stroke 6's Luke O'Brien for this gem: "[Conservative Think Tank Not Thinking][5]"
