While I am no big fan of M$, I have become a big fan of Bill. He is simply awesome!
I am currently battling with a bucch of homeopathic peope in an anti-vaccine forum. And, to be honest, those people are idiots. They have no idea of statistics or even biology. I rape them with wikipedia knowledge.
Still, these idiots rech a lot of people. And try to convince them with celebrities which are on their side (*cough* Scientology *cough*). So: Go, Bill, go!!
Yeah. That story already pissed me off a year ago...
I asked Mr. Stackpole, who is kinda an expert (being the author of the Pulling report, debunking the myth of RPG games being dangerous) about this. He told me, that nothing can be done since prisoners have simply less rights.
Idiotic.
Other autors publish already publish their stuff as ebooks for years:

(Ok, that link is just half a year old, but he does it for years now...)
A lot of Stackpoles blog posts revolve around autors creating their own ebooks.
ages ago... So, no real "news" here. As an insider and veteran business he states for years now that the publishers are getting in trouble, see e.g.: (pretty recent, I know, but he wrote similar things long before)

I guess, he is quite unloved by publishers because he teaches authors how to create & market ebooks...
(For those who don't know him, he wrote e.g. for Star Wars & Battletech).

The german consumer protection portal esowatch has already written an article about them highlighting the dubious history of Mr. Rossi and linking several articles that debunk the claims. http://esowatch.com/ge/index.php?title=Focardi-Rossi-Energiekatalysator
The article is not particularly good, this one is better: http://www.switched.com/2010/12/02/bug-gathers-your-browsing-history-youporn-perez-hilton/ You can find the original study here: http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/users/lerner/papers/ccs10-jsc.pdf It is quite interesting, especially the list of sites is on page 9...
Currently there are 17 bugs open. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=blocking2.0%3Abeta7 The good thing: 6 hours ago there were 18 bugs ;-)
