  • The madness of patent and copyright laws in conjunction with Amazon getting a patent for generic studio photo lighting; Chris Hadfield's ISS cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" having the be taken down after one year (though it's probably unrelated to Bowie Bonds as theorized) (UPDATE 6/25/14: It wasn't Bowie's fault); whether the CEO of Mozilla was pushed out under a pretext of social justice in order get DRM into Firefox; Adobe Creative Cloud went down for 24 hours.
