The TechList: 22.05.09

1. Microsoft. Files patent for Wiimote-like ‘magic wand.’ I don’t care how hard they wave it, Google isn’t going to disappear.

2. Henry McMaster. SC attorney general gets sued by Craigslist, then proclaims “victory.” Now we know why the South lost.

3. “Ida.” 47-million-year-old fossil already has a book, TV show, and several Facebook groups. Next: a chat show opposite Oprah.

4. Apple. More rumors point to a tablet PC in 2010. It’s true, we swear. Also true: that story about Richard Gere and the gerbil.

5. FCC. Claims right to enter homes to inspect wireless devices. Also to make sure you haven’t removed those tags from your mattress.
