Copy Code, Splog, Jackson Jury; and Al Shamshoon

• Big Brother is watching you make copies! Apparently, copier makers include a secret code requested by the government on copies.
• Splog? Apparently, blogspot (the Google Blogger host I use) is riddled with blog spam. I've already seen the effect of this in my short blog life here; I had to turn on the word verification service for comment posters because I started getting hit by the spam bots right away.
• Michael Jackson headed back to court! Well, requested for jury duty anyway. (Is there a single article out there about this that doesn't start out with something like "Michael Jackson back to court"?)
• Omar Shamshoon? The Simpsons is headed for Arab TV.
