I'm sure as soon as the RIAA put out a press release that clarifies or contradicts their earlier statements, the "journalists" will print that without comment or analysis too.

Judge Judy is a bad choice there - she tends to go for the quick, harsh, and "obvious" (including a very strong implication that you are a fuckwit for thinking any differently) solution. That is very likely to be "don't steal songs". Do you think Judge Judy will recognize any human need for music?
Submission + - A one-atom thick billiard table
Roland Piquepaille writes: "A team of physicists at the University of California at Riverside (UCR) have found that graphene, which was isolated experimentally only less than three years ago, and which is a one-atom thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal rings, can act as an atomic-scale billiard table. They found that electrons in graphene behave like quantum billiard balls. This research could lead to new kinds of transistors based on quantum physics. In fact, it's possible that graphene can replace silicon as the basic electronic material in a few years. For example, it could be used to develop ballistic transistors. But read more for additional details and references to decide if graphene is part of our future."
