Tidbits of the Day

So I love this, I think this is great. Shawn Fanning, the former Northeastern University student who founded Napster, you know how his parents met? They met because his mother attended a concert of an Aerosmith cover band that his father was playing in! What a brilliant link between the old way of copying (with musicians) and the new way of copying (with ones and zeroes). That's so going in my dissertation. Right next to the anecdote about Vladimir Putin being rumoured to have attended a private performance by the ABBA tribute band Bjorn Again, which Putin himself denies.
