I agree. I've contributed to Wikipedia articles and made corrections. If I go there and see some important information is missing (or is wrong) I will make a quick edit. But, I've never learned how to do "cites". It's confusing and I don't have 10 hours of time to spend learning the subtle nuances of how Wikipedia works. Someone needs to come up with cite-wizard that does two things: 1.) Asks you for the quote you're citing and 2.) Asks you for the link. Done! I'm not going to study the "grimoire of Wikipedia" to figure out the incantation needed to do cites to make some anal-retentive asshole happy.
Submission + - Behind The Scenes - EMI Sues MP3tunes (michaelrobertson.com)
GuNgA-DiN writes: "From Michael Robertson's blog: "On Friday, November 9, 2007 EMI sued MP3tunes ... The legal scuffle between EMI and MP3tunes began in September 2007 when, in a letter that accused MP3tunes of a wide range of illicit actions ... The attorney didn't want to discuss [anything], and instead quickly demanded a "substantial sum for past infringement" be paid to EMI ... While the lawsuit says "EMI" I think the RIAA is advocating this legal fight as much as any individual label or entity ... By attacking the Music Locker, EMI is attacking the right to personal ownership of digital property. I believe people should be able to listen to their music anywhere they want, and on any device that suits them — this is why we buy it.""
Walmart Rejects Firefox and Safari 555
babooo404 writes "Last week, Walmart launched their online video download service. Immediately there were posts that the service did not work with the Firefox or Safari browsers. There was a collective, "WTF" when this happened as this is 2007, not 1997. Now it appears that reports are out that Walmart has completely turned off the ability to get into the application at all by Firefox, Safari or any other browser it does not like."
