Another day at the conference, but today you get some linkage. Woo!
- SDB has a long post on why Virtue is as Virtue does, and why a little temptation is a good thing. It neatly meshes with my theory that being exposed to some level of germs keeps you healthier in the long-run, since you’ve got some immunity built up, and also brings in (it is, after all, a long article) the idea that
the solution to too much free speech is more free speech.
[sdb] - From WWDC, Dan Gillmor has a look at Apple’s Next Operating System, Tiger. We’re hearing plenty about it here, but I haven’t had time to write up my thoughts yet. [scripting]
- The Supreme Court Justices Affirm Legal Rights of ‘Enemy Combatants’,
rejecting the administration’s core legal argument that the executive branch has the last word in imposing open-ended detention on citizens and noncitizens alike.
It’s nice to see a decision that actually affirms citizens’ rights, even when it’s inconvenient for the administration. [nyt] - The latest Teched-Out Cars Bug Drivers with bugs. It’s not surprising that there are bugs in software, but this is another case where I think there ought to be a higher standard of liability. If the computer in my car drives the car off the road, the automaker should be liable, not me. [wired]
- Well, there it is, then. Layne and Acanit Tell All. Still anonymously, natch. Maybe it’s even the same person. [some gal]
