Odd Stuff is Goin' Down

Weird news from just about every corner of the web this week. First there was this article at The Inquirer claiming that sources inside Microsoft say the official name of MS's new OS, code-named Longhorn, will be "Microsoft Windows e-XPedition." It's just so stupid it can't possibly be made up.

Then there was the report that scientists at Cardiff Univ. have discovered a dark matter galaxy. If you're thinking, "Oh, I remember that from Star Trek," you're probably right.

Finally, there's the guy who actually read a EULA (I've tried, but it seemed impossible) and won himself a thousand goddamn dollars. The outfit who awarded the money, PC Pitstop, did so to make a point, which seems a little pretentious, but they've written an extremely enlightening article on just how dangerous EULAs can be. Definitely recommended for any computer newbies you'd like to scare the shit out of.
