35 Phenomenal Fractal Art Pictures
In the realm of digital art, so many wonderful and playful genres exist that stimulate the imagination, but so few do it with the intricate style of fractal art. Fractal art is achieved through the mathematical calculations of fractal objects being visually displayed, with the use of self-similar transforms that are generated and manipulated with different assigned geometric properties to produce multiple variations of the shape in continually reducing patterns. Sounds extremely technical and not that artistic, true, but these equations create some of the most mesmerizing and inspiring artwork to emerge from the digital art arena.

Al-Qaeda Web Forums Abruptly Taken Offline
Four of the five main online forums that al-Qaeda's media wing uses to distribute statements by Osama bin Laden and other extremists have been disabled since mid-September, monitors of the Web sites say.
The disappearance of the forums on Sept. 10 -- and al-Qaeda's apparent inability to restore them or create alternate online venues, as it has before -- has curbed the organization's dissemination of the words and images of its fugitive leaders. On Sept. 29, a statement by the al-Fajr Media Center, a distribution network created by supporters of al-Qaeda and other Sunni extremist groups, said the forums had disappeared "for technical reasons," and it urged followers not to trust look-alike sites.

20 Jahre STANDARD - Adam und Eva lesen den STANDARD ...
Der international renommierte österreichische Maler Christian Ludwig Attersee macht jedes Titelblatt der Jubiläumsausgabe zu einem Unikat
Ja, kann schon sein, dass man ihm seine künstlerischen Grenzüberschreitungen mitunter vorhält. Es ist nämlich so, sagt Christian Ludwig Attersee: "Ich muss doppelt so viel arbeiten, weil ich doppelt so viel geschimpft werde, eben weil ich derart viel mache." Mehr als 8500 Bilder hat er gemalt, mit wilden Pinselstrichen und wohlüberlegten Hieben die Leinwand, meist auch den Rahmen zugedeckt und diese erotisch-opulenten Farbräusche (fast) in aller Welt in Galerien und Museen, auf der Biennale von Venedig und auf der "documenta VI" in Kassel ausgestellt.

Palin demands $15m to search her own emails - The cost of transparency
US vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin isn't saying citizens interested in open government can't get access to her emails. She's just saying it will cost a little.
The office of the Alaska governor, which by state law is required to make such messages public, says it could cost more than $15m for anyone conducting an exhaustive search. Even then, Palin - who ran for governor on a platform of running a clean and transparent government - says requests won't be honored until November 17, two weeks after the presidential election is held.
