* I once saw a movie whose name I've long since forgotten that had one of those classic bad guys that just won't die ending. After shooting stabbing beating and otherwise trying to obliterate the bad guy, he finally gets incontrovertibly destroyed -- blown to bits in fact -- and this is confirmed when the hero picks up a burning chunk of the bad guy's arm and lights a cigarette with it. Listening Post outlines why [the RIAA is a lot like that bad guy][1]. Oh, and if anyone knows what movie that is, let me know.

* Bodyhack [points][2] to an article that suggests George Bush's refusal to support stem cell research might actually be helping the field by drawing in more private sector money. Hey, without Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher we might never have had punk rock.

* From [Gadget Lab][3]: "Here's a twist on the megapixel race confusing digital camera buyers: The camera of the future may capture only a single pixel."

* Table of Malcontents has great link to the obituary of what sounds like a truly wonderful bookshop. As Brownlee [writes][4], "the fact that Amazon.com is killing off wonderful crackpots like this one-by-one isn't just tragedy, it's blasphemy."
