Extremely interesting account of how IBM worked with the Nazis to count and catalouge the Jews. IBM maintained databases of the Jews; how many, personal data, which ones were strong enough to work, which ones should be exterminated, etc.

Scary! Any info on how serious and objective this research is? I always have problems with conspiracy theories, but this one sounds more believable than others.
On a lighter note, I am near the end of The Year of The Flood. Also continuing to read the excellent magazine on the brain and how it constantly rewires itself.
And, as I am prone to do about once a year, I bought new software and am about to embark on some technical reading. And to grumble for a while about cheap editors who not only won't provide a printed manual, but insist on designing their pdfs as if they were destined for print and not on-screen reading. Some of them don't even have a clickable table of content
So, anyway, feverishly waiting for my (manual-less) Final Cut Studio to arrive, plus the first related book I purchased (in paperback, because paper is still the best medium for this type of book at the moment): Sound Editing in Final Cut Studio.
