Sony Says Raising Prices On Whitney Houston Music Was A 'Mistake'
Following the news that Sony Music raised prices on Whitney Houston's music very, very soon after news broke that she passed away, the company has now said that it was a "mistake" and issued an apology:
Mike Masnick @'techdirt'
"Whitney Houston product was mistakenly mispriced on the UK iTunes store on Sunday. When discovered, the mistake was immediately corrected. We apologize for any offense caused."Of course, that seems to raise more questions than it answers. What kind of "mistake"? Human error? Did someone just accidentally jack up the price? Or was it someone doing it on purpose... and Sony now thinks that his or her decision to do so was the mistake?

Vladimir Putin 'on trial for terrorism' in internet viral video
The video, which has had more than 2m views on YouTube, shows the Russian prime minister in a courtroom cage in what seems to be a real trial. The cleverly edited video is actually the trial of the oil magnate Mikhail Khodorkovsky, with Putin's face superimposed on Khodorkovsky's. The fake video comes weeks before Russian presidential elections in which Putin is standing.

McKenzie Wark: The Legend of the Situationist International (Theory Centre London, Ontario Feb 17)
Free and Open to All!
“As the newspaper editor says in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, ‘when legend becomes fact, print the legend’. The Situationist International - big Film Fans among other things - certainly lived by this principle. As Henri Lefebvre would note about their MO, they occupied the terrain of resonant symbols as a way of confronting the more mundane communications of what they would dub ‘the Society of the Spectacle’. In this presentation, I will look at a range of strategies they adopted, particularly in the early years of the SI” -- Ken Wark on his upcoming lecture.

Why Scotland doesn’t need Rangers
May I once again draw your attention to the transcript of 'Scotland's Secret Shame' from BBC's Panorama back in 2005. It was actually produced by my 'brother-in-law' and I am sure that if he was to do a follow up now absolutely NOTHING will have changed!
