Pandora's FAQ on its licensing.... :(
Pandora had a FAQ on why you can’t just type in a song title and expect to hear it, but they’ve sorta hidden their answer (or just forgot that their answer is buried in their old blog). Here is their answer (since http://blog.pandora.com/faq/contents/25.html redirects to their new help section which doesn’t seem to address this question):

Alternatives to Skype?
Via ITworld, here’s a list of 5 alternatives to Skype:
Google Chat - probably the only viable option in this list (for US folks)
Ekiga
GNU Telephony
Jitsi
Linphone
Hopefully, Microsoft isn’t going to kill off Skype with “must-have” features that make it un-usable….

Scientific Journals With Cartoons..?
In a paper on superconductivity, there’s a strange Monty Python-inspired cartoon:

No More Version Numbers for HTML?!?!!! →
I wonder if anyone has studied the effect of “naming” software versions. Everyone knows that you don’t want Software1.0 — or any version number that ends in a zero. So if you start naming your operating systems after large cats (eg. Tiger, Leopard, Panther….), does it actually have any effect on your software? Or just on how people perceive your software? If you...
