I have been reading Steven Johnson's Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software. I have been hearing about it for some time, just couldn't lay my hands on it earlier. Its an interesting read. The only problem is I have to return it next week and the next few days are shaping up to be very busy. I also found an interesting site called Project Gutenberg- (via Mefi). It has been around for quite some time. You can download most of the classics from that site (all pre-1923 due to copyright restrictions). I dont think I want to read entire books online. But its accessible and one cal always read them slowly.

Check out Yann Arthus-Bertrand's ariel photography Awesome stuff.

In case you are using ICQ or Windows XP:
AOL reported a bug in its pre-2001b versions of ICQ and urged users to upgrade.
Technical problems have stopped some users from downloading a patch for what appears to be serious vulnerability in XP. If you are using XP, you should probably download it as soon as it becomes available. (via GMSV).
