Today's date is binary! 011101 == 29 in decimal. Yea Binary Day!
I set a new record on downloading from Napster today: 316 KB/sec. It only took me about 10 seconds
to download a 3.5 MB song. Cable Rocks!
The Dreamcast broadband adapter
was released yesterday. It's sorta stinks though, since right now you can only buy it online and it
won't work with all the Dreamcast's games due to driver problems. So at the moment only like 3 games
work for it. But most of the newer games coming out will include support thank goodness.
In a sad sad day for consumer choice and a wonderful day for megacorps everywhere, the AOL/TW merger was approved by the FTC.
Some good is going to come out of it, AIM will have to be opened up to at least 3 competitors.
However I wonder if AOL will just decide that only those 3 companies can use AIM, and keep all the
open source stuff out like they are now. AOL will also have to allow competing companies to use
Time Warners cable systems, without going through AOL startup crap. But all in all, I really wish
thing thing could have been banned since now people will have even less choices in where they get
their news and information. Plus you just know AOL/TW will use their new power to mess with the
little people.
