Hybrid SACD/DVD disks? Seems bogus to me but apparently the patent is pending. Although, the patent for sticking two disks together already exists so whether someone can get away with patenting sticking SACD and DVD/DVD-A together will depend on the wording of the existing patent. And is there even a market for it when we already have hybrid players? Who’s going to go to the extra publishing expense when they need only have made one in the first place? I can’t see this coming to anything but it might be worth keeping an eye on.

Hurricane season
Track them via the Hurricane Advisories site - which also offers links to "hurricane cams" in eastern US states and the Caribbean - Hurricanes.net, and the US government's National Hurricane Center. HowStuffWorks has a good section on how they work, while Canada's hurricane site has a special section for kids.
Another world
IBM Fellow Mike Cowlishaw has finally released a version of his programmable World Globe for Windows, 12 years after the 16-bit OS/2 original. Since Mike created the Rexx language, loved by many former Amiga owners (not to mention Sinclair QL and Palm users, etc), all PMGlobe commands can be used in Rexx macros.
