116 Kameras entlang der Demoroute von “Freiheit statt Angst”
Schöne Idee und Umsetzung: Der Taz-Redakteur Sebastian Heiser ist die “Freiheit statt Angst” – Demo-Route entlang gelaufen und hat 116 Kameras entdeckt. Auf Google-Maps wurden alle Kameras dokumentiert und die dazu gehörigen Fotos finden sich in einer Galerie. Taz.de plant auch Live-Ticker und eine umfassende Berichterstattung zur Demonstration. Da bin ich mal gespannt.

Disney Sued For Selling The Pixar Lamp... And The Lawsuit Makes Sense
We usually focus on trademark lawsuits that make no sense at all... but effective trademark law exists to prevent confusion among consumers (i.e., it's really more of a consumer protection law, rather than an "intellectual property" law) and thus there are plenty of reasonable trademark infringement lawsuits out there. This appears to be one of them. Lamp maker Luxo is apparently suing Disney for selling real versions of Pixar's iconic computer animated lamp.

Alan Turing Gets an Apology From Prime Minister Brown
The British government has officially apologized for the treatment of Alan Turing in the post war era. An online petition got more than enough signatures to force an official statement and Prime Minister Gordon Brown has issued a lengthy apology. 'Thousands of people have come together to demand justice for Alan Turing and recognition of the appalling way he was treated. While Turing was dealt with under the law of the time and we can't put the clock back, his treatment was of course utterly unfair and I am pleased to have the chance to say how deeply sorry I and we all are for what happened to him. So on behalf of the British government, and all those who live freely thanks to Alan's work I am very proud to say: we're sorry, you deserved so much better.

Solar Power from Human Hair?
One of the problems with getting energy in developing countries is where to get it from. Some have resorted to silicon solar panels, but Milan Karki has found a simpler form of solar power that uses human hair instead of silicon.
That’s right, I said human hair. Renewable energy is possible with something that everyone but Lex Luthor has. The secret is in Melanin, the pigment in hair that makes color, and its electrical conductive qualities are the secret to hair solar power.

First Images From Refreshed Hubble Telescope
As tweeted, NASA has released 10 new images, all from the new WFC3 instrument and others, including the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph. Images include NGC 6302, Carina Nebula, Stephan's Quintet, Markarian 817, Abell 370, and a few others. Great looking stuff, the WFC3 has twice the resolution of the WF/PC2, on the CCD at least, if memory serves correctly. Eta Carina is a fascinating object, and there are at least two releases in this 'Early Release Observations' set.

Spiegel Wahl Soap wärmt alte Kiffer Klisches auf
Der Spiegel versucht mit der Idee einer Wahl Soap den Wahlkampf für uns alle spannender zu gestalten. Dabei kann man nach jeder Folge eine Partei wählen und sehen wie sich das auf den lauf der Dinge "auswirkt". Leider wärmt dabei Spiegel Online das alte Klischee von der psychischen Störung durch Cannabis auf indem behauptet wird, jeder 10. bekomme durch den Konsum Problem und kann nicht mehr arbeiten.
