Monday Links: July 7th, 2008

I’m not so sure I’ll live up to the standard set by Taylor with the Monday Links, but here’s my best shot.  My feeds are a little tech (and Google) heavy, so this will help us appreciate just how great a job he does at providing variety.

  • There’s a privacy stir going on in some recent rulings in the Viacom v. YouTube litigation.  I wouldn’t be too worried, there’s no way that all that information is getting handed over.
  • In other Google news, check out the first international implementation of Street View by scoping out this year’s Tour de France route.
  • People are already lining up a week in advance of the iPhone 3G launch.  Yikes.
  • Engadget reports that a future version of the Prius will have solar-powered air conditioning.  I’m looking to buy a Prius with my forthcoming Google hybrid subsidy… too bad this version hasn’t even been prototyped yet.
  • This makes me sad.  Some dude was trying to sell his vote on Ebay?  Come on, bro.  Don’t whore out your rights for money.
  • The NYT has an interesting piece on how a Facebook co-founder revolutionized the way campaigns are organized online through his creative leadership with the Obama campaign’s social network, MyBo.
  • Ponoko (which we covered here) is holding a 10-day design challenge July 1-10.  $1,000 cash and free production and product advertisement are at stake.  Go get it.
  • “Is e-mail in danger?”, Alex at ReadWriteWeb asks, in the face of competition posed by Twitter and the like.  I don’t think so.

Be on the lookout for more from Eric this week, as well as the first installment in my series chronicling the personal changes I’m facing with my move to California.
