Stephen Wolfram does not like to call it a "search engine," preferring instead the term "computational knowledge engine." It will open to the public in May. <i>"The hype around Wolfram|Alpha, the next 'Google killer' from the makers of Mathematica, has been building over the last few weeks. Today, we were lucky enough to attend a one-hour web demo with Stephen Wolfram, and from what we've seen, it definitely looks like it can live up to the hype &mdash; though, because it is so different from traditional search engines, it will definitely not be a 'Google killer.' According to Stephen Wolfram, the goal of Alpha is to give everyone access to expert knowledge and the data that a specialist would be able to compute from this information."</i></div>

This list is a distillation of ideas for opting out that the World Privacy Forum has developed over the years from responding to those questions. ... Many people have told us that they think opting out is confusing. We agree. Opting out can range from the not-too-difficult (the <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/donotcall">FTC's Do Not Call list</a> is a fairly simple opt out) to the challenging (the <a href="http://www.networkadvertising.org/">National Advertising Initiative (NAI)</a> opt out can be tricky). Our hope is that this list will clarify which opt out does what, and how to go about opting out. In this list, some opt outs can be done by phone, some have to be sent in a letter via postal mail, and some can be accomplished online. Some opt outs last forever, some have time limits, and others can be changed at will. If an opt out is on this list, it is because we thought it might be important enough to be worth whatever annoyance it may pose. "</i></div>

Ringer, who joined the Copyright Office at the Library of Congress in 1949 and spent 21 years <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/25/AR2009042502917.html">drafting the legislation and lobbying Congress before the Copyright Act of 1976</a> was finally passed. Ringer wrote most of the bill herself. 'Barbara had <a href="http://williampatry.blogspot.com/2009/04/barbara-ringer.html">personal and political skills</a> that could meld together the contentious factions that threatened to tear apart every compromise in the 20 year road to passage of the 1976 Act,' wrote copyright lawyer William Patry. The act <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Copyright_Act_of_1976">codified the fair use defense to copyright infringement</a>. For the first time, scholars and reviewers could quote briefly from copyrighted works without having to pay fees. With the 1976 act that Ringer conceived, an author owned the copyright for his or her lifetime plus 50 years. Previously under the old 1909 law, an author owned the copyright for 28 years from the date of publication and unless the copyright was renewed, the work entered the public domain, and the author lost any right to royalties. Ringer received the President's Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service, the highest honor for a federal worker. Ringer remained active in copyright law for years, attending international conferences and filing briefs with the Supreme Court before her death earlier this year at age 83. 'Her contributions were monumental,' said Marybeth Peters, the Library of Congress's current register of copyrights. 'She blazed trails. She was a heroine.'"</i></div>

The information is used to pursue legal action against the Rapidshare users and at least one alleged uploader saw his house raided."</i></div>

The profiles include a Harvard student, a professional poker player, a number of brain researchers, and a self-described transhumanist. <i>"Zack [Lynch]... has a book being published this summer, called 'The Neuro Revolution'...  In coming years, he said, scientists will understand the brain better, and we'll have improved neuroenhancers that some people will use therapeutically, others because they are 'on the borderline of needing them therapeutically,' and others purely 'for competitive advantage.' ... Even if today's smart drugs aren't as powerful as such drugs may someday be, there are plenty of questions that need to be asked about them. How much do they actually help? Are they potentially harmful or addictive? Then, there's the question of what we mean by 'smarter.' Could enhancing one kind of thinking exact a toll on others? All these questions need proper scientific answers, but for now much of the discussion is taking place furtively, among the increasing number of Americans who are performing daily experiments on their own brains. ... [A cognitive researcher said,] 'Cognitive psychologists have found that there is a trade-off between attentional focus and creativity. And there is some evidence that suggests that individuals who are better able to focus on one thing and filter out distractions tend to be less creative. ... I'm a little concerned that we could be raising a generation of very focused accountants.'"</i></div>

Here is additional <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/04/26/swine.flu/index.html">coverage from CNN</a>. From the Times: <i>"American health officials [say]... that they had confirmed 20 cases of the disease in the United States and expected to see more as investigators fan out to track down the path of the outbreak. Other governments around the world stepped up their response to the incipient outbreak, racing to contain the infection amid reports of potential new cases from New Zealand to Hong Kong to Spain, raising concerns about the potential for a global pandemic. The cases in US looked to be similar to the deadly strain of swine flu that has killed more than 80 people in Mexico and infected 1,300 more."</i> Reader "The man who walks in the woods" sends a link to <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/8018428.stm">accounts emailed to the BBC from readers in Mexico</a>. While these are anecdotal, they do paint a picture of a more serious situation than government announcements have indicated so far.</div>

Wired is running an interview with Lawrence Joseph, author of "Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation into Civilization's End," and John Kappenman, CEO of electromagnetic damage consulting company MetaTech. The piece <a href="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/04/2012storms.html">brings two new threads to the discussion</a>: the recently discovered presence of an <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/themis/news/themis_leaky_shield.html">unusually large hole in Earth's geomagnetic shield</a>, magnifying our vulnerability, and possible steps we can take over the next few years to make the power grid more robust against solar flares and coronal mass ejections. There's also that whole Mayan 2012 thing. Quoting John Kapperman: <i>"What we're proposing is to add some fairly small and inexpensive resistors in the transformers' ground connections. The addition of that little bit of resistance would significantly reduce the amount of the geomagnetically induced currents that flow into the grid. In its simplest form, it's something that might be made out of cast iron or stainless steel, about the size of a washing machine. ...we think it's do-able for $40,000 or less per resistor. That's less than what you pay for insurance for a transformer. [In the US] there are about 5,000 transformers to consider this for. ... We're talking about $150 million or so. It's pretty small in the grand scheme of things."</i></div>

Zeebo uses the same Qualcomm chipsets contained in high-end smartphones, together with 1GB of flash memory, three USB slots and a proprietary dual analogue gamepad. It plugs into a TV and outputs at a 640 x 480 pixel resolution. 'The key thing is we're using off-the-shelf components,' says Mike Yuen, director of the gaming group at Qualcomm. This approach means that, while Zeebo can be priced appropriately for its markets &mdash; it will launch at US $199 in Brazil compared to around US $250 (plus another US $50 for a mod chip to play pirated games) for a PlayStation 2 in the region &mdash; and next year the company plans to drop the price of the console to $149. But the most important part of the Zeebo ecosystem is its <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=22867">wireless digital distribution</a> that gets around the low penetration of wired broadband in many of these countries, negates the cost of dealing with packaged retail goods, and removes the risk of piracy, with the games priced at about $10 locked to the consoles they're downloaded to. <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/business/story/987588.html">Zeebo is not meant to directly compete</a> with powerful devices like Sony's PlayStation 3, Microsoft's Xbox 360, or the Wii. 'In Latin America, where there's a strong gaming culture, that's what we'll be, but in India and China we can be more educational or lifestyle-oriented,' says Yuen. One Indian gaming blog predicts Zeebo will struggle, in part due to the cultural reluctance toward digital distribution and also the <a href="http://www.gamingindians.com/2009/03/why-the-zeebo-will-fail-in-india/">lack of piratable games</a>."</i></div>

"Ireland has already put about $67 million into building out its e-voting infrastructure, but the country has apparently decided that it would be <a href="http://www.environ.ie/en/LocalGovernment/Voting/News/MainBody,20056,en.htm">even more expensive to keep going with the system</a> than it would be to just scrap it altogether." John Gormley, Ireland's Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, said, "It is clear from consideration of <a href="http://www.cev.ie/htm/press/press040706.htm">the Report of the Commission on Electronic Voting</a> that significant additional costs would arise to advance electronic voting in Ireland. ... the assurance of public confidence in the democratic system is of paramount importance and it is vital to bring clarity to the present situation."
