Alan Moore for BBC News: As for the ideas tentatively proposed in that dystopian fantasy thirty years ago, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that whatever usefulness they afford modern radicalism is very satisfying. In terms of a wildly uninformed guess at our political future, it feels something like V for validation. A brilliant writer, and a terrific book.

Neil Young being interviewed on stage at the All Things D Dive Into Media conference: On the distribution side, Young isn’t particularly concerned with the effects of piracy on artists, he’s more concerned that the files that are being shared are of such low quality: “It doesn’t affect me because I look at the internet as the new radio. I look at the radio as gone....

I’ve read stories from people who say they always knew they were attracted to the same sex, or that they figured it out at a young age. I’m not one of them. A great quick read.
