Link roundup: Google and the DOJ, DRM, social networks, so much more

• Jeffrey Zeldman is sick of the Web 2.0 hype (A List Apart, commentary on Slashdot)
• Cops organise video games against troublesome kids; crime drops (BoingBoing) [Police 2.0?]
• Top tech trends of 2006 (Mercury News, via NEKLS Technology Weblog)
• Men and women online (Pew, via NEKLS again)
• On the L2 train (Michael Stephens talks to John Blyberg)
• The Web 2.0 crash is coming, says Steve Rubel (Micropersuasion)
• Will RSS revolutionise email newsletters? (ditto)

I am off to Auckland for the Big Day Out, which this year features one of the greatest bands of all time - the Stooges! The lineup (White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand, Fat Freddy's Drop, Magic Numbers, Kings of Leon, 2 Many DJ's, etc) would be good anyway. With the Stooges, it's amazing. I'm so excited!
