    • Rod Begbie : Mark's Sysinternals Blog: Sony, Rootkits and Digital Rights Management Gone Too Far

      Sony are now using Windows vulnerabilities to hide DRM software on Windows PCs so that users can't uninstall them. Fuckers.

      'We all bear the scars of drawn-out battles over edge cases that satisfied someone’s sense of “completeness” or “aesthetics” or “perfection”, but ultimately made the common cases harder and solved no real problem.'

    • Kayode Okeyode : The Zen of Microformats

      "Microformats" are a set of specifications describing interoperable machine formats that work on the web

    • Simon Willison : The Zen of Microformats

      The process is more interesting than the formats themselves.

      by mail, or pick them up at your local Target store for one hour printing [via] 

    • Jason Kottke : You can now get prints of your photos from Flickr

      You can now get prints of your photos from Flickr (in the US, more locations coming soon). You can also do a bunch of other things, like get books printed, back up your photos to DVD, and get stamps printed.

    • Jim Ray : Flickr is printing now

      I'm simultaneously confused about why people need this and delighted that it now exists. Lots of cool stuff in the works, too.

    • Simon Willison : Flickr printing now available (US only)

      You can also order your photos as stamps!
