The week that was...

Slate has a couple of good roundups (here and here) of sentiment in the Uk and on the net following the bomb attacks in London. Not much more to add, except that respect for the Sun *bloid sinks to new lows (see the slate story). Amongst all that there was some other news:

• The EU Software patent directive getting shot down - this is great news.
  
• The US Supreme court makes an intriguing ruling on Grokster v's MGM - as some people have pointed out, this is far from a clean cut victory for the studios.. (Peter's tip).
  
• American journalists got a blast of cold air.
  

Oh and there was the G8 meeting...
