Elsewhere On Wired:
* Listening Post has an [update on the Copyright Royalty Board situation][1]: The Copyright Royalty board has announced that it is 'considering' the Broadcasters' Motion for Rehearing submitted by webcasters. This does not mean -- as was mistakenly reported by a News.com blog and Radio & Records -- that the board will rehear arguments. It just meant that the board is thinking about a rehearing, that SoundExchange has until April 2nd to respond to the motion for a rehearing."

* Table of Malcontents has a [video of someone playing Tetris][2] on a hacked ATM card reader. The stunt comes from Steven Murdoch and Saar Drimer, two Cambridge security researchers, who wanted to explain the technical vulnerabilities in card readers to a non-technical audience. That's your sensitive, valuable data falling down in blocks -- nervous yet?

* Danger Room has a story about the "[culture of mismanagement][3]" at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Mismanagement and nuclear laboratory are never two words you want to hear together, it always leads to re-animation and mayhem in the end. In this case current and former nuclear security specialists "want Congress to investigate the birthplace of the atomic bomb -- again -- for "health, safety, security and management concerns."

* And finally because I seemed to have missed the memo, I thought I'd let everyone know that there's a new member of the Wired Blogs family, [Geek Dad][4]. Geek Dad will focus on tech toys, science projects and other nerdy things to do with your kids.
