Rhapsody Assimilates Yahoo! Music Unlimited

Well, it looks like my favorite $5 per month, all you can stream, DRM-less (with the help of Fair Use for Windows Media) music service, Yahoo! Music Unlimited, may be ending or at least changing. I, for one, do not welcome our new Badware Overlords. I wonder if the timing of this announcement was in any triggered by Microsoft's pretty-please bid of last week. They could at least have the decency to take down the new user sign-up page. (via)

LOLAutism

Neuroatypical gem from the io9 discussion of the new "autism pill": "My little autistic brother was having trouble wrapping his brain around the possibility that the Star Trek Experience in LV could be moving all of it's treasures to the new Star Trek thing in Long Beach. He told me, on no uncertain terms, "The Star Trek memorabilias and items and artifacts and things cannot be removed from the Las Vegas Hilton's Star Trek The Experience becuase - WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS, STAYS IN VEGAS."
