quote [ The $US24.95 a year service scans users' hard drives for music, including files obtained illegally, and matches them with the authorised tracks in Apple's iTunes library. It then makes a quality iTunes version of the tracks automatically accessible in the iCloud. ]
Some interesting concepts around the idea of music piracy - Apple has the big four labels signed up so they seem to be okay with it, but perhaps there has been a missed wrinkle?

quote [ Risky Business: James Bagian—NASA astronaut turned patient safety expert—on Being Wrong ]
Interview with a very interesting and insightful man about strategies for rectifying procedural errors in medicine. Also with bonus astronaut tales. I like the cut of this man's jib - based on this interview, they should make an action figure of the guy.

quote [ The first and most significant change is that in the near future, anyone posting or replying to a post on official Blizzard forums will be doing so using their Real ID -- that is, their real-life first and last name ]
