StupidFilter is building a system to programatically recognize stupid comments
Uses Bayesian statistical analysis, much like spam filtering, to find the stupid stuff; so far, YouTube seems to be their test corpus (brilliant). I love that this could be a webservice that you could plug into to reduce stupid comments.

GigaOM » Yahoo buys MyBlogLog… for real!
"a blog-based social network" Huh? I mean, I guess Waxy's on board and all, but this strikes me as a pretty dumb acquisition, which is disappointing since Yahoo has been pretty smart of late.

Microsoft patches DRM faster than it patches security holes. A bit misleading, IMO, given that it's probably a great deal easier to fix this one bug than the myriad holes scattershout throughout Windows XP, but an interesting point nonetheless.
