Well, Napster is still going, but the question is how much longer. Slashdot has a good
analysis of the ruling, including links to some of the legal stuff. So right now is just the
calm before the storm, as Napster's days are numbered.
Google has acquired Deja's
Usenet archive. They have over 500 million messages archived from 1995, and they plan to
reinstate posting. The unfortunate thing is that almost no one knows what Usenet is anymore. I can't
say I do anything about it, I hardly ever use Usenet either.
Check out Spammimic.com, where it encodes short email
messages into spam to get past government filtering. This page will helps explain it a little bit better. I
think all the people who spam my hotmail accounts must be using this service or something, because
those "encoding" look really familiar.
