http://gizmodo.com/5039273/intel-spills-more-beans-on-nehalem-microarchitectu...; Apple must have had access to this road map prior to its decision to move over to Intel. Seemed like a leap of faith at the time. But looks like a truly shrewed move now...

Bloggasm & The Politics of Digg: Aug 19, 12:44am 4 reviews internet, digg, social-media
http://bloggasm.com/the-politics-of-digg; Don't get me wrong, I've had my fair share of articles on the front page. But even then, Digg is just a means to an end; the traffic from Digg is essentially a managed DDoS attack, with the secondary traffic from Delicious, Reddit and StumbleUpon being where the real value is.

Solar Islands - a CSEM Concept: Aug 17, 6:31am 2 reviews alternative-energy
http://www.csem.ch/fs/si_concept.htm; I'm all for renewable sources of energy, but I don't see a need for this particular technology.
