Zombie Alert!: I doubt their experts
Plugging the analog hole: The entertainment industry continues to push for total control of everything you watch and hear.
Make your own flame thrower: I was looking for something to do while home by myself next week...
Who needs a warrant?: The U.S. gov't can track people through their cell phones without warrants now. Microchips planted under the skin not needed.

David Brin on Transparent Society: Very brief summary - privacy is over. The fight should be to make sure that we can watch the watchers watch us.Also, I want to have David Brin's babies, even if he is a libertarian.
Tricks with itunes playlists: This is what finally got me to use itunes as my main music player, and to start rating songs.

This lets me do the "shaping" I wanted to do a while ago, by, say, moving the vast amounts of Tom Waits down a few stars while leaving my favourite bands higher up.
