Just what I needed on a Friday afternoon!
Hot men, combined with really adorable cat photos! Yeah!
See sexy men pose off against cats. Adorbs-able!

How extraordinary...
They've found their Sherlock for Elementary, the modern US version of Sherlock Holmes - Jonny Lee Miller. Seriously. I'm not kidding.

Replaceface
This is awesome! Replaceface. This guy puts celebrity faces into portraits of Russian generals. :D
It's worth flipping through them all, but I particularly like Mr. T. and Robert Downey Junior.
(Man, it's so hot today! *dies*)

These news articles make me nervous...
1) US studios avoided Telstra battle and went after iiNet instead in copyright case
2) The death of anonymity online has users fuming
3) Cybercrime bill on fast-track
I just hate that we seem to be moving more and more towards no privacy or anonymity on the internet and I do not want some person checking up on everything I download or do and reporting on it. It gives me the willies. I'm sure anyone who needs this information can and will be able to access it, as they do now, with appropriate reasons (e.g. the police).
Has anyone been following all these developments? Are similar things occurring around the world or is Australia trying to lead the way again?

Amazon in the Book Banning Business
I find this both interesting and worrying. While I don't personally have any interest in the books currently being deleted (incest erotica fiction), that would seem to be beside the point. Could this be one of the very real issues with the world of E-books? Amazon appear to have deleted the content not only as an item for sale, but deleted it also from the personal Kindle libraries of people who paid for access to the titles in question. They are not currently offering refunds, let alone a proper explanation.
Obviously here is another site that needs to seriously consider their content guidelines and spell them out appropriately, rather than simply deleting on "sole discretion, at any time". It seems like a path that could snowball into a much wider area of censorship.
I own a Kindle and I'm already fairly unimpressed with the library offered. But I'm also less than happy about the idea of someone being able to retrospectively censor content that I paid for and therefore own. I'll be watching how this progresses with some interest.

Bored, bored, bored
It seriously amuses me that John Watson's blog gets spam comments.

I have 800 more words of Sherlock/Inception and still no idea where it's going. *facepalm*

How are you all doing on this fine Saturday?
