Regarding Wikipedia, I just finished this interesting podcast, where 
Dan Benjamin and John Siracusa discuss Wikipedia and why they think 
it's built on the wrong foundation. Siracusa was misquoted on an 
article that he wrote for ArsTechnica, but was unable to change it 
incorrect citation in Wikipedia (it has since the podcast aired been 
changed):

Starts at 72 minutes and 30 seconds.

Speaking of VLC, VLC2.0 was just released, with an entirely new UI 
(at least in the Mac version):

Yeah, the old UI was horrible... this one is... well... what is the 
word for "worse than horrible"?

Abominable? ;-)

OSNews "tweeted" about the new language for web development - Opa

Some usefull UI concepts, which might be forgotten with the decline 
of WebOS ... unfortunately WebOS is going under the Apache open-source 
wings, so hopefully some good ideas are going to be reused elsewhere
