- The Raging Grannies Greet the F.C.C.
  Posted by Shemuses from Bits.blogs.nytimes
  At Stanford a parade of witnesses challenged the efforts of the giant Internet service providers to control and, in some cases, block the data traffic that flows over their networks. The panel was enlivened by an advocacy group called the "Raging Grannies," who stood outside before the hearing began and sang songs condemning Comcast's pricing and other practices.

  Posted by Jeff from Gizmodo
  Apparently, there was an incident where "the gun started moving when it was not intended to move," meaning it totally pointed somewhere it wasn't supposed to-like at friendlies, which resulted in recall from the field and might've set the program back 10-20 years, according to the Army's Program Executive Officer for Ground Forces, Kevin Fahey.

- Google Previews App Engine
  Posted by Jeff
  Google launches hosted app engine framework. Like Amazon S3 but more integrated into Google's services. Like the Windows API, but for the 21st century. I think Microsoft just lost the battle for the Web platform.

- New Enzyme Promises to Reduce Ethanol Costs
  Posted by paneuropeanyank
  University of Maryland research that started with bacteria from the Chesapeake Bay has led to a process that may be able to convert large volumes of all kinds of plant products, from leftover brewer's mash to paper trash, into ethanol and other biofuel alternatives to gasoline.
  
  The secret to the process is a Chesapeake Bay marsh grass bacterium, S. degradans. Researchers found that the bacterium has an enzyme that could quickly break down plant materials into sugar, which can then be converted to biofuel.
  
  Theresearchers were unable to isolate the Bay bacterium again in nature, but they discovered how to produce the enzyme in their own laboratories.
