Links for Friday March 21^st, 2008

• Watch with Kristin - Buffy: "Look It Up: Slayer Comma The": Last night was the big Buffy reunion at the Paley festival. I'll be interested to see what other stories and/or videos come out of this - it looks like it was fun.

• Analysis: the Obama/Hillary passport breaches and Real ID [Update: McCain too]: This really is an important story, as evidenced by the quote: "... shows exactly why citizens' privacy is critical in a country where citizens compete with one another for control of the government."

• MacBook air Hacking - USB PORTS: Some pretty insane hacking on the new MacBook Air - this guy poked at the motherboard and found some extra USB ports. I'm not sure that this is going to prove to be practical, but it sure is interesting.

• Calendar Swamp: Calgoo Hub (beta): Calendar sharing takes a step forward: I have been interested in calendar interoperability ever since I came to Aggregate Knowledge, and it is looking like there is some finally some progress to report (other than just putting the whole world on Exchange).

• …My heart’s in Accra » The Cute Cat Theory Talk at ETech: Amazing blog post about a talk from Etech, revolving around how activists use Web 2.0 tools (and how the censors try to fight back).

• waffle → Where By “Interesting”, I Mean “Annoying”: It seems like if Apple renamed the "Software Update" program on Windows to "Software Installer", the problem would be solved.

• Final thoughts from Arthur C. Clarke - International Herald Tribune: I'm not a big Arthur C. Clarke fan - but I am learning a lot of ineresting things about him now that he's gone.
