It's not just the artwork but the titles as well.
I'm nervous about making negative comments since I wonder if my ebook covers are any better;
they couldn't be worse... or are they?... http://www.k1e.org/press

When I hear the term flying car I picture something like the PAL-V (http://pal-v.com/), which had its maiden flight last year.
rather than a dune buggy with a powered parachute (as per the description in the article).

Pwn'd in 12 hours

A New York-based security researcher spent less than 12 hours to identify and exploit a zero-day vulnerability in Apple's Safari browser that allowed him to remotely gain full user rights to the hacked machine. The feat came during the second and final day of the CanSecWest "pwn-2-own" contest in which participants are able to walk away with a fully-patched MacBook Pro if they are first able to hack it.

Submission + - Google to Viacom-The law is clear, and on our side

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Thursday March 29, 2007 @01:51PM

An anonymous reader writes: Google responded to the opinion piece in the Washington Post by a Viacom Lawyer with a letter to the editor titled "An End Run on Copyright Law." "Viacom is attempting to rewrite established copyright law through a baseless lawsuit. In February, after negotiations broke down, Viacom requested that YouTube take down more than 100,000 videos. We did so immediately, working through a weekend. Viacom later withdrew some of those requests, apparently realizing that those videos were not infringing, after all. Though Viacom seems unable to determine what constitutes infringing content, its lawyers believe that we should have the responsibility and ability to do it for them. Fortunately, the law is clear, and on our side."

Submission + - Better Jukebox Software for Bigger Libraries?

jimjenkins1975 writes: I recently ripped and encoded my entire CD and Vinyl library, as well as merged my home and work computer's libraries (I work at a music company so my work library is very very large). It resulted in well over 750 GB of MP3's. I was hoping to get away with using iTunes to manage this, however the XML database file has grown very large, and the application itself is nonresponsive or very sluggish at best once it has loaded up (a process that takes several minutes itself) Question: Is there another application with similar features out there that can handle a library of this size with aplomb? I'm primarily on a Mac, and would prefer to keep using it, but I have a PC as well. Any ideas?
