The best kind of vigilante justice
Every once in a while a story pops up about someone who takes the law into there own hands, almost always indicating a failing on some level: like the story of the town thug who got shot dead in the middle of a crowd of several hundred people and not one person saw the shooter.
Well here is a story that is just about the best possible case of vigilante justice I can think of: thief robs man, man tackles thief, man cuffs thief with wire ties, thief left for police in middle of main street. Now aside from the going after someone wielding a knife, and (maybe) the public humiliation factor, I can't see anything anyone can object to.

Open source; not just for software anymore.
This comapany in the UK (I think) is making an "Open source" hydrogen car.
I think this is a really cool idea and I'm interested in how it will pan out. I have thought it would be interesting to do something like this but I had always thought along the lines of a DARPA grand challenge like project or something fictional like a the spaceship Michael.

This "in house" print on demand system prints books faster than some places can make you coffee (and they call it the "Espresso machine")
