Take care of the pennies...

ORPHEUS, Kazaa and LimeWire users, take note: the programs may be skimming commissions. It appears to come from product sales made at websites affiliated with the likes of Amazon and Coldwater Creek. The software apparently flags the sale in such a way that the purchase seems to be made using those affiliates, even if it was not. That seems pretty insidious to me.

If you're a Photoshop maven, or otherwise interested in digital photography, check out Nikon's Small World gallery; it has the entrants and winners of its annual contest for microscopic photography on display. And MIT has a small basket of facts about new technical prototypes emerging from labs, including 250KW batteries, supercapacitors, and new materials for holographic disks.

And finally, today's doom and gloom: Blondes are an endangered species! Bottled blondes blamed!

Thanks for the link to the Nikon site! I've switched the Julie Vance image for the 2nd place photo by Zdenka Jenikova.
