    The Shallows talks a lot about Google Books, and many of our books have addressed the issue of copyright. This is a really interesting article about "orphan books" and where they fall into this argument. (An orphan book is one that the copyright has not expired, but where they copyright holder is unknown or can't be found)

    Call me a science geek but I think this is just too cool. With the advent of newer, more advanced technologies, Astronomers are running into an unusual problem--too much data to go through themselves.Their solutions has been to put it up online and let people (amateur, everyday people) help them out. I think it connects well to Shirky and Remix. Sure puts a whole new spin on "social science".

    An article about the Invisible Gorilla experiment. I think this is interesting not only because of the content, but of how widespread the access to this experiment has been--the youtube video has something like 3,095,286 hits.
