I have a weakness for daft Flash animations, and Albino Black Sheep’s series of film parodies (all in thirty seconds, all starring bunnies) is dafter than most. The latest epic is Alien in 30 seconds (and reenacted by bunnies).

The Register reports that Apple has filed a trademark application for what looks suspiciously like a tablet computer: Inevitably the rumour sites are ablaze with speculation, and the Apple Product Cycle has started all over again.

PJ O’Rourke abandons his usual sarcastic sniping for a face to face meeting with Colin Powell. O’Rourke admits it’s more of a conversation than an interview, but it’s interesting stuff that covers terrorism, economic development, The Beatles, Elvis and Volvos. [via MetaFilter]

Q has fallen into the trap of thinking that the number of reviews (and lists, and songs) is all that matters, so an issue with 137 album…

Or at least, it will if the Briva ever gets a UK distributor. One of those “why on Earth didn’t anyone think of it sooner?” ideas, the Briva is a dishwasher that fits under your sink and which is designed for small flats. Scientists! Stop mucking about with nanotechnology and bioinformatics! Useful kitchen appliances are…

Roxio – the manufacturer of Easy CD Creator and Toast, and the parent of Napster – is dumping its software business and becoming nothing but Napster. It’s an interesting move but it’s a huge gamble: Napster’s future is by no means certain, with some analysts suggesting that as little as 4% of digital music consumers…
