Sunday Link Run

Lots of great stuff going on this week.

• Seth Godin has a commentary on Microsoft’s new initiative, Bing, that predictably is meant to be the next Google.
• And while on the subject of Google, they’re busy actually inventing new stuff: Google Wave, which looks extremely cool, and might completely take communications on the web to a new level. If you’ve got any kind of interest in web technology, watch their keynote demo — it’s an hour long, but well worth the time.
• Hanselman posts some interesting reflections on the result of Twitter becoming popular with marketers.
• The Messy Notebook has some advice on how to build something real in your spare time — it’s something I recommend to every programmer.
• Another event in the everlasting debate about piracy: A Canadian study has now been exposed as plagiarizing other reports, and of presenting numbers that were pure guesswork.
• If you’re into the Sci-Fi thing, check out this brain-controlled wheelchair. Human repairs are getting better and better.
• Some Battlefield 1943 news (boy, there’s lots of those): There’s a fourth map, Coral Sea, which will unlock with 43M total kills on each platform. And music4games has an article on the Abbey Road recording session for the soundtrack.
• I especially enjoyed this discussion on the BFBC2 multiplayer trailer, including a flamewar about whether the spotting system is cheating and a wallhack (hint: it’s not cheating if it’s the same for everyone).
• And time for another asshole of the week award, which is easily won by the Canon president who thinks there isn’t enough stress already — up your pace!
