This photo freaked a lot of people out. Some, angry it might have been faked. Some, angry it could be real. (As it turns out, the second group guessed right.) source

Tech: MPAA: Lock the doors, kick the public out. Judge: OK!

  • The RealDVD trial takes a sketchy turn. The Motion Picture Association of America and another group, concerned that trade secrets about DVD encryption technology would be revealed during a trial against Real, asked the judge to close the courtroom. Judge Marilyn Patel agreed. RealDVD, if you don’t know, allows people to save DVDs onto their computer and legally watch them later. Just days after releasing the software, Real was sued by the MPAA. The closed courtroom does not bode well for Real’s case, by the way. source

  • Bob Dylan • Talking about the intrigue he found in Barack Obama’s book, “Dreams From My Father.” Dylan says the president’s “like a fictional character, but he’s real.” No word if Dylan read “Dreams” in his outhouse. • source
