*	Google has fessed up to [accidentally sending out some e-mail containing the Kama Sutra mass mailing worm][1]. The official statement begins, "On Tuesday evening, three posts were made to the Google Video Blog-group that should not have been posted." Mmmhmm.

*	And in other Google News, Mashable is reporting that [Google Video is being sued][2] for copyright infringement. The announcement comes straight from Google, but so far there are no details beyond that.

*	MagiQ Technologies claims to have [developed an unbreakable encryption scheme][3] that exploits Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle to generate cypher keys. While that sounds good, I can't help thinking that unsinkable ships sounded good at one point too.

*	And finally in TSIA category: [Microsoft To Give A Cut Of Every Zune Sold To The Recording Industry -- Though It's Not Clear Why][4]
