The High Levels of British Internal Surveillance
439,000 requests were made to monitor people’s telephone calls, e-mails, and letters in a 15 month period, plus there were nearly 4000 errors, where they wire-tapped people they didn't even intend. Scary.

Wonderful review.

The Top Ten Sci-Fi Films That Never Existed
Brilliant essay on Hollywood's screw-ups and missed chances. Great scathing rant on Star Wars and the Matrix. It's sad how few good sci-fi movies have ever been made. Less than a dozen probably.

The Charlie Rose Show Online
The Charlie Rose website is in the middle of revamping, now with whole shows online for free. Most recently an interview with Martin Amis and Norman Mailer. Quite good, if you have an hour (though you don't need to watch as much as listen, so you can be doing other things). No direct links right now, so it will be gone in a few days.
