While Liveplasma is certainly cool, they didn't build their own Ontology source . . . They used Amazon's Web Services. AWS blogged about it a while ago
They are making progress on binary patching. They stretched themselves thin when they released 1.0 and the update feature wasn't completed. I think it will be really going for 1.1

Yeah, You can actually build a game on top of google maps too:
Google Tanks or as we like to call it:

Speaking of the Web Development Game -
On Railsday (a 24 hour ruby on rails competition), myself and a couple of pals built a "Ajax" powered game on top of google maps. I'm not going to put a live link to it. (each client does xmlhttprequests to the server for status ASAP, and I don't want my poor server to die)
Then using that I was able to build Geo-comments into my rails based blog with a couple hours work... When leaving a comment, you leaving your zip code, and then the geo-comments view using embedded google maps to show who has said what
Just like blogs, there are gems. Plus existing programs work better as podcasts than broadcasts.
IT Conversations (Doug Kaye project), is a top notch Podcasting source. (ok, it was around before the rage about podcasting, but podcasting made it integrate with my life).
Public Radio Fan also has a list of many podcasts that were radio programs - enabling you to listen to your favorite programs on your own time.
I hope all of NPR's programs become available as podcasts as I enjoy listening but don't live on their schedule.
Greasemonkey can cause mozilla to eat 100% when the running a script that is badly coded.
When I developed book burro, I frequently caused firefox to hit 100% and had to kill my browser.
An infinite loop in javascript will kill your browser (although firefox is good at eventually asking if you want to terminate the script since it is taking so long (30 seconds or so).
So, yes, you can get these issues with greasemonkey, but it is more than likely an issue with a specific userscript, not greasemonkey itself.
I know several people are already working on adding stuff to this using Greasemonkey!

It is using tables and shouldn't be to hard to monkey up.

While I do agree there is a paradox of choice, I know that there are solutions.
Utilizing "Editors" or collectives to sift through the vast content available and mark their recommendations. Slashdot provides that for "news for nerds," which editors, other sites such as delicious popular provides community "voting" on what is interesting.
Using social networks we can subscribe to other peoples interests, and "mine" through the mountain of content.

I don't think the EFF qualifies as a rumor site. You are too jaded when you think EFF is a rumor site.

See Britt's write up and my (Jesse's) write up, Rails Day SVN source for all the projects.

When you think you misread the title of the article, then realize no you didn't... it is what /. posts at night when all good geeks are in bed.
Thats cool.
Britt & I (Jesse) are in Lexington, KY and participated!
I know a Louisville guy in rails, we should do a get rails meetup!

It would be great if apple could leverage their iTunes music store by adding the ability to buy episodes directly.
