I like this top 10 list: Top 10 dot-com flops – CNET.com because I don’t recall even hearing about some of them (boo.com, kibu.com). That makes me feel good that I didn’t waste any mental energy on them.

The Cassini Imaging Diary has released images of a flyby of Saturn’s moon Hyperion. Some very interesting images.
