Listen: Episode 8
British government proposes up to three month “internment in all but name” (Amnesty international), without charge, for ‘terror suspects’ [1], the equivalent of a 6 month prison sentence, without having been convicted of any crime (Liberty); and a criminal offence of ‘glorifying exalting or celebrating’ any ‘terrorist act’ within the last 20 years, and certain listed acts in perpituity [2]. This goes beyond even the Draconian American Patriot act in removing the right of free speech, and giving government responsibility for which ideas are judged criminal – e.g.: Is writing in support of the Eastern European revolutions which ended communism, or the armed struggle in South Africa to be a crime? What about the socialist movements in South America, which struggled violently against US supported military juntas?
Dutch open files from birth on children. Sensible data synthesis and organisation, or greatest potential for abuse in history? Is this inevitable in other states? [3]
Moves fluidly in 3D space, includes lasor pointer (gun) function, expandable with add on peripherals such as stick. Reviews on wired [4], and IGN [5]
Essentially a 3D mouse, will FPS’s finally be playable

To what extent does RNA control our development and evolution? [11]
Another explanation of the role of RNA other non DNA forms of information encoding. [12]
If RNA is so important do RNA virus’s (retrovirus’s) alter the behaviour of carriers to facilitate transmission? This slashdot comment points to a number of studies evidencing that the HIV virus may make specific changes through RNA to the structure of the brain, encouraging viral transmission. [13]
Wikipedia explanations of RSS [14], Webfeeds [15], Web Syndication [16], and the Web 2.0 [17]
Coral Content [18] and Dijjer [19] could solve the bandwidth problems of citizen media. But more than that, open a path to the ‘walled gardens’ of the net.
Microsoft start.com [20], My Yahoo [21], and Google Hompage [22]; RSS, search and mail portals (online aggregators)
Google launches blog service [23]
Undoubtedly this will be more comprehensive than technorati, but lacking the trackback (google has historically been quite poor at indexing linkto’s).
