Tech: cloning; anti-Semitic site drops off Google

Evening tech news: A Web site meant to promote upcoming film drama "Godsend" is stirring controversy among people who oppose human cloning and want the site shut down because they think the site is real, the film's makers say; a controversial anti-Semitic site has disappeared from Google, but the search site says it had nothing to do with disappearance, and does not attempt to remove offensive content; A growing number of federal and state legislators are expressing doubts about the integrity of the ATM-like electronic voting machines; David Bowie has invited fans to remix his music -- and he's offering prizes for the most creative "mash-up."

It's amazing that people are so thin skinned that they'd get upset over a fake cloning site.

This reminds me of the Bonsai Kitten site from a few years back. It gave detailed instructions, complete with fake supplies and diagrams, on how you could raise a kitten in a jar and force it to the shape of the jar. There were scores of "testimonials", and a FAQ page It was an obvious and twisted joke pushed to great lengths, but absolutely hilarious!

Stupidity reigns, I suppose.

i agree. i recently came across bonsai kitten, and i spent about 10 seconds wondering if the publisher was really cruel to animals.

but then my (average) brain came out of hibernation and i realized it was just a funny joke. especially if you love kitties.

I don't know what the news about mixing David Bowie's music is doing here: the tools they supply is Windows-only. And the entry is in WMA. So...?
