"Lost" DNA Interview Comes to the Web
Before Douglas Adams was famous - just after the premiere of the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" radio program, but before the books - an obscure science fiction magazine scored an interview. The young and mostly unknown writer talked much about his life, his universe, and his everything. He would never again give so in-depth an interview. Now, finally, the interview has been published to the web and we can see a Douglas Adams before fame had hit. Back when he was still working on Dr. Who to earn money to buy a cup of something almost, but not entirely, completely unlike tea.

Knight Rider car, KITT, for sale
My family and presumably thousands of other families used to have such a good time watching Knight Rider and it's star, KITT, do all it's fancy stuff. David Hasseloff, wasn't too bad either. Anyway, one of the cars used in the show is now on sale for a meager $150K. Not a bad deal for a car that can drive itself at 300 MPH ;)
iTunes loses a little DRM
Yes, Purenard, you beat me to posting this. 
Apple has announced that starting X, EMI's catalogue of music within the iTunes music store will be sold DRM (i.e. copy protection) free. This means the tracks will be freely useable by ANY music player capable of playing AAC files, not jut iPods and iPhones. And to encourage adoption by the public, they will also be sold in higher quality than other iTunes songs.
Very interesting. Veeeeeeeery, interesting.

Finding More Universal Donors
New research has found a way to convert different blood types to O. They can't change the +/- yet (rhesus), but once trials are done, blood banks could start stocking more O+ and O- no matter who it came from. O- blood can be donated to anyone. O+ blood can be donated to A+, B+, AB+, and O+.
Some information on blood types taken from Wikipedia.

The news article is about how Romney is the leading GOP candidate fundraising-wise ($1 million below Clinton who leads overall), but this one paragraph amazed me:
I know that presidential campaigns are expensive, but it just seems like this money could be better spent than slugging it out for President of the United States.
Experts have predicted this will be the first $1 billion presidential contest, reports CBS News correspondent Joie Chen. Outrageous as it sounds, it looks like they're right.
