The Nightly Build:
- Scariest Headline. Ever. “Bill Gates: Vista is so secure it could run life support systems.” Bill Gates is on a worldwide tour in support of Vista and during a stopover in Rumania he said he thinks Vista could run life support systems in hospitals. I can see the death certificates now, “cause of death: blue screen.” Audio of the interview is available via the site linked above.
- From the scary to the potentially sublime… Want to write a novel, but don't have the time? Penguin Books in the UK is opening a novel wiki where anyone can write edit and rewrite a collaborative novel. I think I agree with Penguin's Jeremy Ettinghausen, head of digital publishing, who tells Reuters, “this is an experiment, it may end up like reading a bowl of alphabet spaghetti,”
- YouTube is gaining on the boobtube. Market research firm Harris Interactive says forty-two percent of online adults have watched a video at YouTube and 32 percent of those that visit YouTube say they now watch less TV.
