You've all seen movie advertisements that include snippets of glowing quotes from critics.
"Marvelous!" "Best Movie of the Year!" etc. There's been some controversy about these quotes in the
past. There was an a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20030120/107246.shtml"investigation/a
into studios taking movie critic quotes completely out of context, and even a lawsuit against Sony
Pictures for a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20050804/1411238.shtml"making up a critic and
his quotes/a for movie ads. It appears that Disney has now been caught trying out a new tactic: a
href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/3129150/Disney-attacked-for-promoting-The-Boy-In-The-Striped-Pyjamas-with-blog-quotes.html"
target="_new"using quotes from anonymous internet commenters on IMDB/a. These "commenters" could
be, for example, Disney employees, but go under usernames like "Theedge-4" and "Mjavfc1."
Apparently, that's good enough for Disney to quote them in their ads. While there's something to be
said for tapping into a wider group of folks than just the big name "professional" movie critics
and reviewers, this one seems pretty questionable and open to abuse -- especially given the
industry's documented history of made up reviews. br /br / a

/Technology analyst Ezra Gottheil recently talked with PC World about a
href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/151912/"Apple's future without Steve Jobs/a:br
/blockquote"Apple doesn't need Jobs anymore. He's established three sound businesses -- Mac, iPod
and the iPhone -- and the company knows how to execute his fanatical devotion to design and
usability. There's a stable management team in place, and they know what they're doing."br
//blockquoteWhich is worse? The media's morbid fascination with Steve's (hopefully
long-in-the-future) retirement or death, or the notion that he's too dumb or self-important to have
created a plan of succession?br /br /I'm not privy to Apple's management process or strategy, and I
assume Ezra isn't either, but it's safe to say she's right about that. The Mac, iPod and iPhone are
well established and I'm sure the business plans for each platform look far into the future.br /br
/The larger question is, will Apple be successful without Steve Jobs? That's the question that
scares investors and causes the stock to dive when a

jerk posts a fake story about Steve's health/a. The fear isn't completely unfounded. The last time
Steve left Apple, the company nearly disappeared. In fact, it was only after he returned that Apple
was saved.br /br /But that was different. Steve was asked to leave, and not afforded the
opportunity to identify a successor. I'm certain that a plan is in place today which will ensure
the company's future. Will Apple be the same without Steve Jobs? No, of course not. But will it be
bad? br /br /No, of course not.br /br /[Via a

Just in time for the presidential debates tonight, from Lessig blog: Barack Obama has reaffirmed
the position he took in the primaries and asked the Debate Commission to support "open debates."
Here's the letter. Craig "Craigslist" Newmark explains that Lessig led the effort, and that "the
idea is to make video footage available to everyone for commenting and reuse, a big deal." [Barack]
wrote last year to the Chairman of my Party: "The Internet has enabled an extraordinary range of
citizens to participate in the political dialogue around this election. Much of that participation
will take the form of citizen generated content. We, as a Party, should do everything that we can
to encourage this participation... I am a strong believer in the importance of copyright,
especially in a digital age. But there is no reason that this particular class of content needs the
protection. We have incentive enough to debate. The networks have incentive enough to broadcast
those debates. Rather than restricting the product of those debates, we should instead make sure
that our democracy and citizens have the chance to benefit from them in all the ways that
technology makes possible." (via @cnewmark on Twitter)...br style="clear: both;"/ a

VentureBeat on the heels of last week's a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/dsi"DSi/a announcement,

that they were "pure rumor and speculation" and that Nintendo wouldn't show off upcoming models to
devs as the rumors claimed. Reggie also downplayed the talk that Nintendo is going head to head
against Apple, saying that Ninty's always "viewed ourselves as competing in a larger entertainment

rumor entirely, and his closing comment that Nintendo's good fortunes "makes us the most paranoid

Last week on Boing Boing tv, we released a BBtv WORLD episode with a visit to Pendjari nature
preserve in Benin (West Africa). I got close (a little too close) to a herd of beautiful elephants.
Here's that post, and direct MP4 link here. When you watch that BBtv clip, pay attention to the bit
right after the 1:34ish mark where the mommy elephant raises her trunk and gestures at us. I didn't
know this, but that's a kind of greeting, it's the elephant initiating communication. Marilyn
Terrell at National Geographic's Intelligent Travel blog (who did a post about our piece) explained
that to me, and pointed me to this AMAZING video in East Africa with photographer Michael Nichols,
embedded above. He talks about how he tries to capture the complexity and intelligence of these
amazing beasts on film. And he "talks" back to the elephants by returning their trunk "gang signs"
with his hand and arm, kind of simulating a trunk reply. Just watch it, you'll get it. It's great.
Also see this feature article about Samburu elephants by David Quammen, and a photo gallery by
Michael Nichols. Stunning stuff. Below, two males wrassle at the watering hole, photographed by
Nichols for National Geographic. "Such physical contact can be subtly nuanced along a spectrum from
bonding to roughhousing to real combat. Harmless scuffles among juveniles help inform later, more
serious interactions by which adults settle their disputes."...br style="clear: both;"/ img alt=""

Yat-chan and Fuku-chan are waiters at the Kaoru Otsuka sake house north of Tokyo. The two are
monkeys. They bring hot towels and also serve drinks. From Reuters, where you can also see video:
"Yat-chan first learned by just watching me working in the restaurant. It all started when one day
I gave him a hot towel out of curiosity and he brought the towel to the customer," the 63-year-old
owner of the tavern, Kaoru Otsuka, told Reuters... "We called out for more beer just then and it
brought us some beer! It's amazing how it seems to understand human words," said 71-year-old
retiree Miho Takikawa, who said she came to the tavern specifically to meet the monkeys. Monkey

height="242" align="right" hspace="4" vspace="2" align="right" /Software engineer and Lifehacker
reader William Bartholomew loves a
href="http://lifehacker.com/5042312/ubiquity-prototype-offers-a-natural-language-web-command-line"previously
mentioned Firefox extension Ubiquity/a, but would prefer it were a bit more... well, ubiquitous.br
/ blockquoteOne of the biggest limitations I see is that its keyboard shortcut is only available
from within Firefox; I really want to be able to invoke it from whatever application I’m
currently using./p/blockquote p To address this issue, Bartholomew created a small program that
creates a global shortcut that invokes Ubiquity no matter what application you're using. It's all
written in a few lines of AutoHotkey, so keep reading for a closer look at the code, a link to
download the executable, and a reminder of exactly what Ubiquity brings to your Firefox
installation./p pFirst, if you need a quick refresher on what Ubiquity can do for you, check out
the screencast below:/p pobject width="493" height="368"param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"
/param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /param name="movie"
value="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1561578server=www.vimeo.comshow_title=1show_byline=1show_portrait=0color=00ADEFfullscreen=1"

src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1561578server=www.vimeo.comshow_title=1show_byline=1show_portrait=0color=00ADEFfullscreen=1"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="493"
height="368"/embed/object/p pIn addition to the features shown in the video above, Ubiquity has
also seen a href="http://lifehacker.com/5056180/control-remember-the-milk-from-ubiquity"integration
with popular to-do list manager Remember the Milk/a. Now let's take a look at how the AutoHotkey
script works. (If you're not interested in the code, just grab the download a
href="http://adampash.com/downloads/Ubiquitous%20Ubiquity.exe"here/a and be on your way.)/p pNow
let's take a look at the code:/p div class="code"; Make ubiquity ubiquitousbr / #space:: ; Change
shortcut if neededbr / FirefoxTitle = Mozilla Firefoxbr / FirefoxPath = %programfiles%Mozilla
Firefoxfirefox.exebr / SetTitleMatchMode, 2br / IfWinNotExist, %FirefoxTitle%br / {br / Run
%FirefoxPath%br / }br / WinActivate, %FirefoxTitle%br / WinWaitActive, %FirefoxTitle%br / Send,
^{Space} ; Change shortcut if neededbr / return/div pAs you can see, this works very similarly to a
href="http://lifehacker.com/5046035/tabslock-puts-your-browser-one-keystroke-away"TabsLock/a, the
application that switches to or opens Chrome or Firefox whenever you tap you Caps Lock key. The
difference: Instead of opening a new tab once Firefox is active, this script invokes Ubiquity./p
pIf you wanted to change your keyboard shortcutsmdash;whether you've set a different shortcut to
invoke Ubiquity from Firefox or you'd prefer a different gloabl shortcutmdash;you can do that
directly in the script. /p div class="related"a

Our WIRED friend Melanie Cornwell gives us a heads up on the final two special events at the
ongoing WIRED NextFest in Chicago this week. If you're in town, you gotta go! Melanie explains:
[First, an] homage to "Inside the Actors Studio" called "Inside the Gamers Studio" with Chris
Hardwick tackling the Lipton role in a live interview with Alex Seropian, founder of Bungie Studios
and EP of Halo. This will be followed by our first ever Brain Bowl, in which super smart
Chicago-area college students who play Quiz Bowl take on Wired editors, Chicago professors and
other notables. We’ve been unofficially calling this event “Are you smarter than a
Wired editor?” and when it comes to the students, the answer is surely “Yes!” As
one of our editors noted, the students are still in the process of learning, while he spends a lot
of his time forgetting. :-) Hardwick returns to his game show roots as host, it should be
hilarious. WHERE: Chicago’s Millennium Park WHEN: Wednesday, October 8, 2008 Inside the
Gamers Studio - 4:30-5:30pm Beer/Soft Drink Break – 5:30-6pm Brain Bowl
– 6-8pm They're our final NextFest events and are free and open to the public.
More info at wirednextfest.com. Check out Hardwick on G4 TV, and on his blog at nerdist.com, where
there's more about this event. Above, a clip with Hardwick and robots at NextFest....br

In this very cool science video series on YouTube, NASA astronauts on the International Space
Station answer questions from on board the space station via YouTube. Astronaut Greg Chamitoff, who
is currently 220 miles above Earth, is the guy answering questions from people on -- as he puts it
-- "beautiful planet Earth." According to the description: "Post a video response to this video or
visit nasa.gov/ask and submit a question there. Chamitoff's schedule will not allow him to answer
many questions, but he will attempt to answer a few each week." This being YouTube, one of the
first questions was about hallucinations. Stephan Hinz, 38, from Germany asks: I would like to know
if you experience any kind of sensory dysfunctions or hallucinations, maybe like little flashes
"seen" with closed eyes caused by high energy cosmic radiation? Now tell me that's not an awesome
use of online video. (thanks, Mark Day!)...br style="clear: both;"/ img alt="" style="border: 0;
