OK, looks like if you go to the Zipidee website, they offer Paypal as a payment option, and at least that is secure. Cool. Purchase made, happily listening away. (But geez Zipidee, no https? That's so 1996).

Yo Cory...

Got the hardback (promptly stolen by my 14 YO son). Thought I'd snag the audiobook, but it looks like that Zipidee flash widgit transmits the credit card info via straight http, instead of encrypted https. That's kind of a deal-breaker for me I'm afraid. Is there another source for the audio version?

I add this item to my very long list of things that I admire about Kevin Kelly... that he would volunteer a laundry list of mistakes he's made. That is still a very rare action among people who write about the techo-future.

Hate begets hate. If we want to really see an end to the intolerance, we must be tolerant - even of the intolerant.

Ah... no.

Depending on his final wishes, of course, NASA should put some of his ashes on a geosynchronous satellite....

...or toss 'em into the opening in the side of that monolith orbiting Europa.

Sadness mixed with admiration for a life truly well lived.

Yeah, that's cool and all. But I want to see a robot do a real world version of it that fast.

Refreshing to see a legal challenge over IP executed with grace and humanity, as Yoko's evidently was. Kudos to Yoko for having some personal thought on this matter and not just leaving it to pit bull lawyers.

What Wingo said. That cop should have nothing to do with the public. Let him have a little fiefdom running the evidence locker or something. But no way should he be the face of law enforcement at Baltimore's main tourist area.

That's everything you need to know about the cluelessness of Silent Majority America in the 60s.

Cory! I'm so happy for all three of you! And let me just say... on behalf of the entire species... thanks for increasing the genetic diversity of the planet.

I am SO THERE.

Oh come on Scientific American! Everyone knows the best robot of 2007 was Keepon!
