Apple TV ad banned in U.K.
British TV regulators banned an ad for Apple Computer's Power Mac G5, saying its claim to the title "world's fastest personal computer" is not fully supported.
While reviewers initially gave the ad the OK, the Independent Television Commission (ITC) this week decided to take action after receiving eight complaints from viewers. The agency concluded that "there was insufficient evidence to support the claim 'world's fastest, most powerful personal computer.'"

Another reason why they call it dope
Smoking marijuana doesn't lead to violent crime, but it may lead to more arrests of stoned criminals who engage in acts of violence, according to two economists.
Rosalie Liccardo Pacula of the RAND Corp. and Harvard University graduate student Beau Kilmer found that crooks under the influence of marijuana were more likely to get caught, though pot smokers apparently were no more likely to commit a violent crime in the first place.

WWW-Pionier Berners-Lee strickt an neuer Web-Schicht
In Zukunft sollen surfende Maschinen Web-Inhalte nicht nur verarbeiten, sondern auch verstehen. Bisher hapert es am Vokabular: Die Ontologiesprache Web Ontology Language (OWL), mit der man Computern die Bedeutung von Web-Inhalten beibringen will, steckt noch in den Kinderschuhen. Dennoch wird OWL dazu beitragen, dass die Vision des Semantic Web Wirklichkeit wird, urteilt iX in der aktuellen Ausgabe 12/03.

Goodbye Turntables
You are a DJ but you don't have any bulky gear. You don't need to drive to a gig, the subway/underground will do just fine. You don't need an assistant to carry milk crates of heavy vinyl. Everything you need is in your pockets and the size of a cigarette pack. You only have 2 iPods, but they together hold enough music to play for several months straight, 24-7, without a single repeat. You are a mp3j.
