I read Gillmor because I like the way he writes. My detractors say they hate me because I link to things sometimes with vague inexplicable statements that refer to an idea deeply buried in the piece I'm linking to. You have to actually read the thing I link to if you want to understand what I'm saying, and then after all that reading, my idea wasn't all that clever anyway. I like Gillmor's advice in that case, and sorry, you have to read his piece to get the advice.
Engadget reports that record labels want a share of iPod revenues. 
Ben Goldacre: "The media create a parody of science, for their own means. They then attack this parody as if they were critiquing science."  A WSJ puff piece with Jim Allchin as the hero. It's the wrong story. Here's the right one. Allchin was the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke. Anyone looking at the situation from above could see that the dyke was springing dozens then hundreds of leaks. But it took a long time for all those little leaks to become a flood so Jim could claim to his pals that his leak-plugging techniques were working. Now they're humoring him before they give up his strategy, putting off the day when they turn into a nation of boat-builders, like everyone else.  Ed Cone: "People are requesting press passes for Converge."  Time: How Many More Mike Browns are out There?  Saw The Corpse Bride yesterday. Loved it. They use a film technique called stop-motion animation, using dolls and a camera. They are moved by hand a little bit, then take a picture. Move them a bit, take a picture, etc. King Kong was an early application of stop-motion. Chris Pirillo is a Burton fan too. Interesting variant of stop motion.
