Today's Story Highlights
Is the Internet Killing Critical Thinking?
Like Alice's Restaurant in the Arlo Guthrie song, the Internet lets you
get anything you want -- from views on politics or science and
technology or religion to recipes and gossip. Oh, and of course, news.
However, few people do more than skim the surface -- and as they do with
newspapers, most people tend to read only what interests them.

Apple computers' reputation as a favorite of "creatives" in filmmaking
is well known, but they've also captured the hearts of those dealing
with the more prosaic tasks of making a movie, thanks to programs like
Gorilla from
working up storyboards and shot lists and juggling shot locations.

I'm at IFA as I write this, and in Europe, green clearly does matter.
Here, they even have a viable Green Party, but in the U.S., I sometimes
wonder whether we care. This was showcased in a presentation in which
Sony ranked geographical areas in terms of the importance of green, and
the U.S. came in last.

It may be an increasingly FOSS-friendly world out there, but that
doesn't mean Linux doesn't still face challenges and opposition. Case in
point: Sony's recent decision to discontinue the option to install
GNU/Linux on its new PlayStation3. "I was more than a little
disappointed," wrote the Linux Foundation's Brian Proffitt on his blog
last week.

The free and open source software community is known for many things,
but perhaps none more than its propensity for passionate debate. No
topic is too small for the community's spirited analysis, so it should
come as no surprise that the Linux kernel -- one of the most central
elements of the FOSS world -- figures so frequently and so prominently.

A few years ago, a computer buyer who wanted an Apple Mac may have been
forced back into the PC store in order to run the applications he
already had, needed, or wanted. Now, though, the Mac and its OS X
operating system have risen in popularity and permeate the consciousness
of computer buyers around the world -- thank the iPhone and iPod for
that.

Setting up a WiFi network at home has gotten much easier, yet the
process can still be daunting. Or the wireless signal won't reach
everywhere. A good alternative that has gotten little attention involves
your electric sockets. Simply plug palm-sized adapters into regular wall
outlets and connect your computers to the adapters.

Goofy videos weren't on the minds of Len Kleinrock and his team at UCLA
when they began tests 40 years ago on what would become the Internet.
Neither was social networking, for that matter, nor were most of the
other easy-to-use applications that have drawn more than a billion
people online.

Toshiba unveiled its first Blu-ray disc player on Thursday at the IFA
consumer electronics trade fair in Berlin. The announcement comes less
than one month after Toshiba applied for membership in the Blu-ray Disc
Association and announced it will introduce products supporting the Blu-
ray format.
