Zypries plans levy on PCs and printers
And the personified incompetence of the German federal government continues working to implement everything as absurdly as imaginable. Eventually, copyright fees will be levied on pencils and paper because they are basically suitable for copying too.
One thing will never see a copyright fee, though: politicians' brains. They're far too small and limited to copy anything ...

SPD politicians turn their backs on ver.di
Dear Ms. Kastner, even if this might hurt now: you are foolish. Just admit it.
Particularly foolish, however, are SPD politicians who are now starting to play unions off against each other.

Less vacation for more jobs?
And the dismantling continues. Because of course workers are to blame for everything. And because it makes so much sense to have too many unemployed people and then make those who have jobs work even more.

Dashboard III
Some more background on what Dashboard is technically and how it works. Cool construction: Bundles (basically marked directories) with a web page, CSS, JavaScript and optionally native code that gets loaded into this whole mess. And all the graphical effects are simply CSS3 possibilities, so everything is built on standards. Sounds quite interesting.

Security hole in iptables in Linux kernel 2.6

Dashboard
The Safari programmer's blog tells quite briefly what Dashboard widgets are made of: HTML pages with CSS and JavaScript for the dynamic portion. That's clearly quite different from Konfabulator widgets, which are written in JavaScript only and have far less to do with web pages. Sure, Dashboard copied the idea from Konfabulator - but from what one can read, Dashboard goes well beyond Konfabulator in many ways (for example, the configuration pages on the back of the widget - cool idea). Whether this really is a copy of Konfabulator, or whether it was simply logical that this feature would eventually come along, is certainly debatable. To those claiming that Konfabulator was copied, I just want to remind them of one thing: NextStep already had irregular windows and similar graphical gimmicks in its time, albeit much more moderately and of course not in this technical implementation. Still, the idea really isn't as new as some would have you believe now. Strictly speaking, the sticky notes are already an application that moves in the Dashboard direction in terms of design - just not built generally, but specialized.
My personal assessment is that the Konfabulator people simply anticipated something with their tool that had to come sooner or later - they simply filled a gap until that point in time. But expecting that Apple wouldn't come out with such tools would be just as naive as expecting that Apple would stop delivering a web browser for its own system.
On the other hand, I could of course be completely wrong...

Ministry of Justice wants to place further obstacles in the way of online copiers
No, Mr. Hucko, with such an absurd proposal, poor pigs is the wrong term. Stupid pigs is more fitting if you're suggesting extending the information rights of law enforcement agencies towards Internet providers to private snooping operations of the film industry. Such nonsense. At heise online news you can find the original article.
Tour withdrawal for Jaksche after training accident
And darn. I like Jaksche - a likeable driver, always seems pretty relaxed in interviews and not as intense or even arrogant as some others. And he's a damn good driver - he certainly would have brought a bit more excitement to the Tour.

Save the iPod
In the USA, there's another crazy bill proposal to regulate music users. In this case, if the proposal becomes law, all devices that can play music without explicit permission from the music industry would be illegal. That includes the iPod - after all, it plays all music tracks without DRM. Or iTunes, which rips CDs and doesn't use DRM for files created this way.

Doctors protest against public insurance
Funny. When it came to cutting copayments for therapeutic treatments for public insurance patients, the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians didn't exactly jump into action. Nobody really stands up for patient rights - and ultimately for patients' healthcare provision either. In the end, it's all just about the money.
