From the article:
Gizmodo is declaring the month of March Boycott the RIAA month.

This included EKG's in the hospital, wearing a holter monitor, getting a stress test, and an echocardiogram. Really neat things for an interested researcher.

Submission + - OneNote Replacement for OSX

An anonymous reader writes: In my personal life, I have recently switched from an XP box to using OSX (filmmaker tired of fighting Adobe Premier). The one thing I miss is Microsoft OneNote. Its notebook style structure, ease of use and straightforward ability to share notebooks (and synch them) aided me in organizing both my personal and professional work.
