*The Day Facebook Changed: Messages to Become Public by Default
From NYTimes.com:
“Facebook messages are about to be publicly visible. A whole lot of people are going to hate it.

*Using Game Systems for Something other Than Gaming:
“Today’s game consoles are essentially personal computers. They are at least as capable as the lowest end systems you can buy in the desktop category.

And for what they add, starting with the Wii most notably but increasingly so from all the vendors, they boast an increasing number of physical interfaces, both for analog input and haptic feedback.” -Th. Gideon (aka cmdln)
