Open source license challenges part 461: Element plots move to AGPLv3
Well, at least anyone using the code and modifying it will need to release a copy of their version of the code. But they won't need to contribute it directly back to the original project. The original project won't be able to use that code anyway as they have a CLA in place, so would not want to take in any code that is just AGPL licensed.

Why do driverless car makers have this insatiable need for speed?
Descisions
Even if they perfect the driverless car so that it can get you form A to B there are plenty of issues to consider. For example
Suppose the car is driving along a road and a pedestrian suddenly steps out into the road. Now the car would normally react by slamming on the brakes and coming to a stop. But what happends if the car calculates that it's not going to stop in time to avoid hitting the pedestrian? It could then also swerve to avoid hitting them. But if there also happens to be a car coming the other way and swerving would mean hitting the other car in a head on collision then what's the "best" option. How does a driverless car some the ethical dilemma of either breaking but still hitting the pedestrian or swerving and crashing into the other car? Either way someone gets hurt.

Windows 8 ribbon entangles Microsoft
Ha
why are all those people all moaning about the ribbon interface? It can be bidden & I bet most of those posting on the Windows blog don't even use the current toolbar on explorer. Most of them probably use the keyboard shortcuts so won't make an difference to them.
Where the ribbon will be reall useful if for all those occasional users, rather than having a crypic toolbar of icons, they will have some text which will help them to workout what they need to use.

Size
The size if fine for a portable video player.
Yes, a bigger size is defintately more useful if viewing webpages, but if you are after a portable video player then the iPad is a bit big to be really portable and a phone is a bit too small to watch videos on, so something in between those two sizes is ideal.
