In 2000, he became the poster child for bands lashing out at the online world when the band sued Napster following the leak of “I Disappear� via the peer-to-peer service. Ulrich stands by what he did, but wants fans to know he did it for the right reasons. “Nine out of 10 people go, ‘What was that about? It was about money.’ Fuck you — it wasn’t about money. It was about control,� explains Ulrich. “I’ll give away all my shit for free. But I’ll decide when and where and how.� Click below for more from Ulrich’s conversation with Rolling Stone’s David Fricke, including why he lives his life more openly and how tours have changed since 1983.

Why Your Clock Radio Is All Abuzz About iPhones

blackbearnh wrote in with a story that's not really about the iPhone, but if your office speakerphones beep like mine does, read on: "If you own an iPhone, you may have noticed that it has a distinct and very annoying effect on clock radios, computer speakers, car radios, and just about anything else with a speaker.

The iPhones aren't the only bad apples in the cell phone basket and there's not much you can do about the problem.

Even Senators Who Want Stronger Copyright Laws Are Worried About ACTA

We've been wondering for a while now about why the ACTA treaty is being negotiated in such secrecy -- since the treaty will almost certainly greatly expand copyright laws around the world, without any real judicial approval. So it's good to see our concerns are echoed even by politicians who have long supported Hollywood's efforts to strengthen copyright law. Following the recent Congressional hearings about ACTA, Senators Patrick Leahy and Arlen Specter (who were behind the Senate ProIP bill that would put a copyright czar in the White House and unsuccessfully tried to make the FBI Hollywood's private police force) have now sent a letter saying that they're quite concerned about the ACTA Treaty. They're worried both that it will be too broad and that it's being negotiated entirely in secret.

Making of 3D graphic robot simulation

robot control simulation environment. The simulation environment provides an ideal testing bed for new control algorithms. There are no hardware limitations. Since it is very easy to implement and adjust, it would help us greatly on determining the best physical properties to optimize control design. More importantly, the simulation provides a very user-friend teaching environment for robot behavior and control study. Since it is interactive and direct, it is much easier for students to study the dynamic behavior and control theories.
