Science and Technology Bits and Bobs

+ Freeman Dyson has what may be the best analysis of the problem of global climate change I've ever read. Kevin Kelly ads a must-read follow-on here.

+ Orangutans are going extinct.

+ Climate change and the food crisis are linked.

+ Led Zeppelin refuse to allow games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band to include their music. Boo!

+ Shrooms are good for you. Duh.

+ Does zillions of datapoints mean the end of theory? Turns out it might.

+ Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Donkey Kong, Zelda, and Super Mario Bros. among other games, has a great interview with Wired here.

+ Flickr Commons is amazing.

+ the Orange County Register, California's fifth-largest newspaper, is outsourcing its copy-editing and layout work to India. And sure, the compnay doing the work promises to train its employees "thoroughly to become familiar with the client publication and the region," but I'm dubious. Try imaging this the other way around and maybe you'll see why.
