And on with the morning news hoover:

  • Alan Connor smites word snobs: Blog is a perfectly cromulent word: This is what dictionaries do. (via 2lmc)
  • Another look at the risks presented by the current operating system monoculture. (via 2lmc)

  • Um, wow. Does this mean that classic episodes of things like Monty Python, The Prisoner, Red Dwarf, and the like will be available as free, unencumbered downloads? That would be, as we say in Ecorse, the whip. I’m sure there are a myriad of licensing issues, but this could be huge. (via Scripting News)
  • Sasha Frere-Jones leads a major offensive from one side of the trench warfare between the two major strains of pop music criticism. (via I Love Music)
