URGENT: Podcasters act now to stop anti-podcasting UN treaty! via Boing Boing
The Broadcast Treaty is an attempt to force the world’s governments to give a new right to broadcasters, a right to control the use of works they don’t own. The Broadcast Right will allow broadcasters to stop you from copying or re-using the programs they transmit, even if those programs are in the public domain, Creative Commons licensed or composed of uncopyrightable facts.

Future Be Warned: Keep Out! via Digg

Houdini’s Impossible Demonstration via Reddit
For a few years, magician Harry Houdini and British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of the Sherlock Holmes stories, were friends. One was an arch-skeptic (Houdini), while the other was a true believer in Spiritualism (Doyle).
Possibly hoping to show Doyle how easy it is to be fooled by mediums, Houdini once gave his friend an extraordinary demonstration, in his own home, in the presence of Bernard M.L. Ernst, Houdini’s friend and lawyer. Ernst’s memoirs reveal what happened that night.

234 Free Vintage DOS Games and Playable Demos via Digg
Lots of oldies in here that I didn’t bother to keep when upgrading my desktop. Still don’t have time to play any of them though.

Put that in your mousetrap: mice don’t like cheese via Digg
Well it kinda makes sense. It’s not like cheese has been around for millions of years like the rodent family. So why would cheese attract mice more than any other food source attracts a starving scavenger.
Old Glory Robot Insurance via Digg
I guess NBC must really be in deep stuff if Sam Waterson needs to moonlight in this kind of commercial. Or…maybe SNL is in deep stuff if they’re recruiting Sam Waterson for comedy skits.
Old Glory insurance…for when the metal ones come for you…and they will.

What I’ve Learned: Homer Simpson via Digg
Site hosted on an Apple Newton via Digg
Ok, I can see this getting ridiculous so I won’t post any more of these stories unless it’s a site hosted on an ENIAC. BTW, I linked to a mirror and not the original site. For some reason, the Newton just can’t handle the traffic.
Side-by-Side Comparison Shots of Changes Made to The Empire Strikes Back via Digg
Mostly just image detail sharpening, color and contrast enhancements. But there are some scenes in Cloud City that were originally shot indoors, but reframed to appear as though they were outside.
If Stan Lee wrote Watchmen via Boing Boing
Yeah, it’s pretty much what you expect. Now if Jack Kirby could magically remake Watchmen, that would be something to see.
