"The Daily Roundup" will be the main feature of this blog. Every day I will post a roundup of the news, sites and other stuff that piked my interest during the day. There will be mainly links and some personal comments about them. Think of it as a daily news digest of interesting things (to me anyway). And this being the first installment here goes the news:
A fine quote attributed to Bertrand Russel:
An american judge ruled that a program (RealDVD) made by RealNetworks which enables people to copy DVDs is illegal. Read the story here.
Neil Gaiman won this year's Hugo Award for best novel with his book 'The Graveyard Book'. I've read a few books by him and really liked them (particularly 'Good Omens'). Now I feel motivated to read more of his stuff.
There is a remake of V: The Final Battle on the works. I vaguely remember this tv series from my childhood. If it's half as good as the Battlestar Galactica remake then I'll look forward to seeing it.
In an ironic twist of fate Microsoft is being ordered by a judge to stop selling Word because of patent infringment. Full story here.
New version of RubyInstaller for windows in the works. Read an interview with author Luis Lavena about the project.
A good explanation of the new Chevy Volt reported 230 mpg.
How to reduce the annoying buzz from speakers around cell phones. Very useful.
Heroes of Might and Magic VI unofficialy in development. This is good news.
That's it for today. Until tomorrow.

"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt."No comments on this one...
