10 Dec 2001 Napster to ask court to reaffirm Appeal Court ruling - Music biz must help us fight unauthorised sharing, service demands [The Register]
Napster's dead, why don't they realize. [ 10-Dec-01 4:26pm ] ZDNet |UK| - News - Story - Crashing computers cost £38bn a year : The survey said computer problems also lead one in 10 people to say that they had hit their personal computers. Nine percent of respondents said that they had thrown down their phones, and eight percent had hit their keyboards in frustration, it said. Well Bill? What do you say to that? I don't hit my PC much these days. But I have developed this habit of hitting CTRL-S after EVERY burst of typing. Many years ago I lost it with a business partner and slapped my IBM keyboard really hard. It was very embarassing having to pick up all the little key tops off the floor afterwards! Getting back to the article, where do they get these £38B figures from? If our PCs worked perfectly, would the UK GDP really be £38B bigger?
Dotcom Scoop : An Open Letter to Ted Turner Impassioned plea from an independent Journalist to Ted Turner. I guess the chances of Ted dipping into his pocket to save another website are slim, but I don't think that's the point. If nothing else, Ben Silverman has written a great piece of satire on the current state of meedja.
Adequacy.org || Is Your Son a Computer Hacker? The full text of the piece along with assorted commentary from the unwashed. Ev Williams asks if there's a worrying growth in Irony Detection Deficiency (IDD) on the net. I prefer to see the whole, including both article and comments as a performance piece. I can't really believe that any of the posters took it all seriously, but there again, didn't PT Barnum say something about this 75 years ago?

[ 07-Dec-01 8:53am ] 06 Dec 2001 We haven't had a Today's CD for a while so here it is.
Today's CD: Sasha And John Digweed - Communicate. BTW. Sad obituary yesterday for Can's lead guitarist. For anyone who doesn't know them, Can were an early electronic band somewhat similar to Tangerine Dream but more interesting. Especially recommended is the '74 album "Soon Over Babaluma". It could easily be a piece of late 90s Ambient from someone like Aphex Twin. [ 06-Dec-01 1:35pm ] 05 Dec 2001 Little tiny flying robots for mars exploration. [thanks, Slashdot] Luvely!
