Post-Medium Publishing — An interesting take on the value propostion of publishing. Counterpoint regarding ebooks here, "What's Wrong With eBooks?" Note all the discussion of the relationship between content, formats and prices. (Via a mailing list I'm on.)
Black Holes Cannot Exist in Latest Theory of Quantum Gravity — Some fascinating intellectual contortions here.
The Why of METI and SETI — Centauri Dreams asks some important questions. "Because it's cool" isn't really enough of an answer. Except maybe it is...
Simpler Colon Cancer Screening — A new blood test could improve cancer-screening compliance. Pay attention, people. This almost killed me.
'Smoking kills', doctors warned in 1606 — Heh. (Thanks to
danjite.)
Glenn Greenwald: CIA Directors conclude CIA shouldn't be investigated for murder — I can remember when conservatives at least pretended to stand for the rule of law, and railed against criminals getting off on technicalities.
