Instead of reviewing Gramophone, Film, Typewriter I would like to start an exchange about this classic of media theory by Friedrich Kittler.

Beadgee, a new net.art piece, works like a software that let's you dismantle and reassemble original drawings and 19th century nursery rhymes.
Beadgge is still in it's infancy, waiting for a story to enfold. So how would you name these empty vassals, waiting to be filled, actively luring one into participation?

Have you noticed those strange little unpronouncable words in the subject lines and bodies of your spam?
Is this just the latest devious trick to avoid automated spam filters, or is the 'spamming community' ;) getting in touch with it's dada/concrete poetry cultural heritage?

The New York Times has published this story about the upcoming remake of the 1975 film, The Stepford Wives. But, midway through the article, the writer, Maureen Dowd, makes a sharp left turn and stops discussing the film; instead she asserts that since the original film was made, real life women have largely turned themselves into Stepford Wives.

RIAA Wrath Hits Teen
On April 3, 19-year-old Jesse Jordan received a call that changed his life.
The freshman at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., learned he was being sued by one of the most powerful trade groups in the United States, the Recording Industry Association of America...
This story is making the rounds of the Internet right now, and has been the #1 story on blogdex since this morning. Poor Jesse Jordan set up a general-purpose peer-to-peer file-sharing engine on campus and after being threatened with a massive lawsuit by the RIAA, he has settled out of court and will be paying them his entire life savings: $12,000. I'm sure this seems wrong to many people -- but why?
