Reddit Round-up: Space Elevator Disasters, TV Personalities, and Apple to Offer DRM-Free Music

From a recent Apple press release:
iTunes offers customers a simple, one-click option to easily upgrade their entire library of previously purchased songs to the higher quality DRM-free iTunes Plus format for just 30 cents per song or 30 percent of the album price.

Check out what happens if a space elevator were to snap.

Obama wants CNN's Sanjay Gupta as surgeon general. Dr. Gupta believes that medical reasons are sufficient cause to keep marijuana criminalized. I wonder if he feels the same way about tobacco?

The space elevator animations are amazing. I wonder how much force is involved in something like that- I'm sure we're not talking about shear-the-earth-in-two force, but I bet it's not just going to lie down peacefully either, especially toward the end with the whiplash.
