Rarely Seen Bas Jan Ader Film (flipbook) - David Horvitz

“In 2007 a video of a few second black and white film was uploaded to Youtube with the title, “Rarely Seen Bas Jan Ader Film.” The black and white film depicted a figure biking into the ocean. The posting claimed that the film was found in Ader’s locker at UC Irvine after his disappearance at sea in 1975, and that the film was assumed unusable because it abruptly runs out just as the figure enters the water. Responding to a complaint by a thirdparty, Youtube deleted the posted video, saying that “this material is infringing.”“

"Wired Editor Apologizes for Copying from Wikipedia in New Book"

“[Chris Anderson] said that while he believed Wikipedia was a valid source for books, he and his publisher had not been able to agree on a format for citations. … He said he originally wrote the sections using the material from Wikipedia in quotations, and had hoped to cite them using footnotes.”

Instead he just left out the quote marks and footnotes altogether? What the fuck, guy. This is the editor of Wired?
