Wikipedia's Opponent. Wikipedia's central tenet, that users can always trust the masses to be wise, has been rocked to its core by two recent high-profile snafus. In the first, prolific contributor and editor Essjay turned out to be just a 24-year-old college grad, instead of a tenured professor. And in the second, a newspaper editor was falsely implicated in the John F. Kennedy assassination. That is why Larry Sanger, who was with Wikipedia at its inception in 2001, has launched Citizendium. The site follows the Wikipedia model but submits certain articles for expert review.
"The world needs a better, more authoritative, more reliable free encyclopedia," Sanger says.
Windows' Words of Doom. When using Microsoft Windows, there are three words I dread to hear: Preparing To Copy. You see, these three little words are wrapped up in a mess that's been around pretty much since the first versions of Windows, and although I haven't used Vista enough to know for sure, the ongoing copy chaos seems like some sick joke that must be absolutely hilarious to Microsoft insiders. This column is an homage to the Big Seven—the seven idiotic Windows glitches that make it so difficult to move files from point A to point B. Golly, all these have been fixed with Vista, right? Uh, right? Hello?
The First Personal Submarine. Dutch company Uboatworx has begun producing the first commercial recreational submarine, called the C-Quester. It can operate for 2.5 hours and dive up to 150 feet underwater. The pressurized cabin has a filtration system that recycles air, adding oxygen to maintain air quality, and the boat is powered by three electric motors that can plug in to charge. It now comes as a one-seater; a two-seater is due in June.
