Ursula K Le Guin, a science fiction author who has been writing for several decades with a great deal of success in the constricted genre, has had several of her books condensed and adapted for SciFi channel. Go here to read her disgust with the whole process, and to read her take on the authorial […]

I found this story on Slate (I was actually reading a review of Crichton’s new book). It’s interesting how his prediction of news transmittance is beginning to come to pass with the advent of the RSS feeds.

Looks like Microsoft wants to compete with Blogger, which incidentally is owned by Google. Well, the behemoth as set its sights on another victim. It’s only a matter of time…
