- Yahoo Caught Cookie Stuffing - They again remind me why I don’t use their search.
- KDE 4 Screenshots - Ooooo… Purty.
- There are now more US World of Warcraft players than farmers - Can’t say I’m shocked, mostly just an eye-opener.
- How 9 tech companies burned through 2 billion dollars - etoys.com, pets.com, kozmo.com, go.com, etc… represented just about everything that was wrong in the early web. Glad you provided (costly) learning lessons for the rest of us.
- Pissed off customer calls Dell Tech Support - I think we all share his frustration.
Google’s Purchase of Jaiku Raises New Privacy Issues (NY Times)- Would you people shut up? This is all we’ve been hearing over the last couple weeks. Don’t you fear-mongers say this about every Google purchase? How about you focus on AT&T providing illegal wire-taps, Comcast making a boatload off wire-tapping, and the Bush administration seeking retroactive immunity for telcos which it admits have been breaking the law (why seek immunity if they haven’t been?). I trust Google a hell of a lot more than I trust our own government. That aside, Jaiku rocks, the only information Jaiku & Google will have is the information you choose to give it. Worried about privacy? Don’t use it. That simple. - Just a link to some themes for a new Wordpress blog I’m thinking about starting
- BitTorrent Gets More Social with AllPeers - Social Bittorrent? This could get interesting. And hey… anything to make BT easier for the masses is great for the technology cause I cringe everytime I have to explain what it is or how to use it to a novice.
- Social.FM Signs Microsoft Deal, Launches New Client - Just came across this service. Free music + Smartphone client = me likey.
- List of 4-letter domain names - Sadly anything pronounceable is long gone, but there are still a few thousand left.
