The Milky Way is warped — like a bowl, a saddle or the brim of a fedora hat, depending on when you look — and a pair of interloping galaxies may be to blame, astronomers said on Monday.
Computerworld has interviewed Kurt Gerecke, an IBM storage expert and physicist who claims burned CDs only have a two to five-year lifespan, depending on the quality of the CD.
“The problem is material degradation. Optical discs commonly used for burning, such as CD-R and CD-RW, have a recording surface consisting of a layer of dye that can be modified by heat to store data. The degradation process can result in the data ’shifting’ on the surface and thus becoming unreadable to the laser beam.” Gerecke recommends magnetic tapes to store pictures, videos and songs.”

Real Tech News, among a host of others, is reporting that the latest version of iTunes (v6.0.2) is sending data to 2o7.net (a web design metrics company) when the “Ministore” is loaded. However, it isn’t entirely clear what the information is being sent and what it might be used for.
The new version of iTunes starts up with a mini store at the bottom. However, one can block the transmission of data by simply closely the Mini Store (Apple + Shift + M). Thanks to what the folks at BoingBoing.net have concluded.
