Warner Bros' response to new footage of "2001"... →
The additional footage from 2001: A Space Odyssey has always existed in the Warner vaults.

Daring Fireball:
Riveting story by Ed Barnes on Stuxnet, the extraordinarily clever and complicated Windows virus that apparently successfully targeted Iran’s nuclear program. He gets the definition of “zero day exploit” very much wrong, but it’s a great story. This has the NSA written all over it.
Pardon the cheesy title, but it’s a good read. I find the theory about the Russians...
