Featured links from the CNET Blog Network

Who decides what's "classic rock"?--Using a technique published on the Digital Audio Insider blog, and statistics published on Last.fm, it's possible to get a very rough estimate of listeners' devotion to particular artists.

Epicurious gets a facelift--Culinary site Epicurious relaunches with a tidier design and greater emphasis on community features.

LG Fusic: Not for me, but maybe for my kids.--The LG Fusic is music centric, but needs better battery life and sound quality.

Submission + - Forensics Expert says Al-Qaeda Images Altered

WerewolfOfVulcan writes: Wired reports that researcher Neal Krawetz revealed some veeeeeery interesting things about the Al-Qaeda images that our government loves to show off.

From the article: "Krawetz was also able to determine that the writing on the banner behind al-Zawahiri's head was added to the image afterward. In the second picture above showing the results of the error level analysis, the light clusters on the image indicate areas of the image that were added or changed. The subtitles and logos in the upper right and lower left corners (IntelCenter is an organization that monitors terrorist activity and As-Sahab is the video production branch of al Qaeda) were all added at the same time, while the banner writing was added at a different time, likely around the same time that al-Zawahiri was added, Krawetz says." Why would Al-Qaeda add an IntelCenter logo to their video? Why would IntelCenter add an Al-Qaeda logo? Methinks we have bigger fish to fry than Gonzo and his fired attorneys... }:-) The article contains links to Krawetz's presentation and the source code he used to analyze the photos.

Googled "fluffybacon" and hit "I'm feeling lucky" button. Apparently I'm a 19/f from Michigan. This comes as somewhat of a shock to me and my penis. For 6 long years I was the only person daft enough to have this name. Oh well, now I'm 7 years younger, with breasts.

"I feel lugubrious and impracticably quixotic with your indubitable and incontrovertible ability to notice my much-tested fortitude. Veritably it is with voluminous disconsolateness that I must supplicate upon you to no longer malinger at the very boondocks of this palaver and immure yourself in the quiddity of the pother at hand. To be unreservedly Non-divergent, you're a predominantly incredulous entity, inestimable in use merely to those of an obtuse milieu. Your illimitable p

I made my first foe on /. today. Its the Profanity blacklist.
I did toy with the idea of making them a foe, but I think its a good idea.
Mind you, I didn't think I swore that often.

Fucksocks.
