1. It looks like Yahoo has acquired del.icio.us (news via Daniel). Great. Now del.icio.us is probably going to start to suck too. It's a good thing I don't use it anymore. Unlike Google, Yahoo hasn't shown it always knows how to handle acquired properties. (Though, this one will probably turn out fine, as Flickr hasn't gone down the tubes yet, and they've been owned by Yahoo for a while now.)

3. Fat fingered typing costs a trader’s bosses £128m (via Drudge). Wow. But the headline is misleading. He reversed two fields... it wasn't a case of typing an extra 0 or anything.

4. Matplotlib / pylab - matlab style python plotting (via Chris Langreiter and his description of PageRank (with code in both Python and K)). Check out the kickass screenshots. Of course, Chris recommends numarray to complement it.
