    Andy Baio : Sony CD installs DRM rootkit?
    malware that hides itself and impossible for almost everyone to remove [<a href="http://it.slashdot.org/it/05/10/31/2016223.shtml?tid=172&tid=158">via</a>]&nbsp;
   
    Justin Mason : 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.

    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.
