Quick Weekend Filler Link Dump

How to win a fist fight. Or, at least, how to better your chances of surviving one, if you’re stuck with no other options.
Maybe Ruby on Rails isn’t in so much trouble, after all.
Sony isn’t so dumb, after all: Their BMG DRM-free music is coming to Amazon.
Meanwhile, at CES — Gizmodo brought some TV-B-Gone remotes with them and tested them out on all the TV displays. I know I shouldn’t enjoy that, but I found it hilarious. The link includes a video montage of the TVs going dark. (The people in question have been banned from future CESes, should the convention survive. . . )
Merv Griffin’s headstone is hilarious.

Augie,
the first link to the TV-B-Gone story is incorrect (goes to the Sony BMG news story and Engadget).

-That tombstone is genius.
-I hate movie tie-in games with a passion. They are nearly always rubbish but always sell really well because of little children.
-Sidenote Augie: Any plans for Golden Globes comments or you not bothering since it wasn’t on the telly?

Nick — all fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.
Paul - No plans on Golden Globe coverage. I know celebrities usually drink a lot there and it’s considered a pre-cursor for the Oscars, but I’m just not that interested in movies this year, so I passed.
