  1. Apple does not own AAC on Apple's Move May Make AAC Music Industry Standard · · Score: 1

    Just a minor point, aac is mpeg 4 audio and is administered by the Motion Pictures Expert Group. Apple popularised it, but they do not own it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding personally I hope ogg takes over the world, but that would be common sense not business. Outside of North America the ipod does not have the same level of market dominance, the other 7.6 billion of us might prefer mp3.

  2. Dawkins on 48% of Americans Reject Evolution · · Score: 1

    Richard Dawkins made a great two part documentary for the BBC called "The Root Of All Evil?" His book "The God Delusion" is heavy going, but the doco is accessible by anyone. Is there a US TV network that is brave enough to show it? One point made in both is that the fundamentalists vote in their own, and they hold a belief that Armageddon is a good thing as it heralds the return of Jesus. You end up with a President who thinks it is good to blow up the world. Fundamentalist belief is not a harmless delusion.

  3. A warming Sun does not disprove Greenhouse Gases on Sun May Be Warming Both Earth and Mars · · Score: 1

    The implication is that this "evidence" disproves the effect of greenhouse gases is nonsense. There is no reason to not think that if the Sun is warming then it is additive.

  4. Gnome on Godwin's Law Invoked in Linus/Gnome Spat · · Score: 1

    I like Gnome - I dislike KDE's messiness, too many lines on the screen for no reason, it is not Zen. I wait for the Nexenta project to reach maturity, then we will have a real fifth toe!
