I was reversing into my car spot tonight, with the rain pouring down outside. Turned around to look out the rear window, and the rear windscreen wiper went on. I checked that I hadn't turned it on myself, and I hadn't.
Obviously, the car turned the rear windscreen wiper on when I put the car into reverse, because it was raining (since I had the front windscreen wipers on).
Nice.

Thanks to Paul, I found out that HP have finally released their iPods. The press release/info page is here.
Not so sure about the designs. I like the simple white and metal finish of the normal iPod, and those look just… tacky. I wonder if the consumers will go for it? It's a good way for Apple to increase its market share, since HP has much larger distribution channels than Apple (as many others have said recently).
As noted on Slashdot, the creators of South Park (Trey Parker & Matt Stone) have a new movie coming out that looks bloody hilarious. There's a Quicktime trailer (large size) here.
