AT&T Broadband screws customers In the first deal of its kind, AT&T Broadband announced a partnership with Linksys last week to offer home networking gear as part of its US$45-per-month cable service. AT&T Broadband customers choose from among designated Linksys wired and wireless gear offered at its site, then pay AT&T Broadband $4.95 per month to network two computers and an additional $4.95 per month for each additional PC [MacCentral] ...this sucks! Why should I have to pay for something that I already have. It works, and it has worked since I set it up 18 months ago. Instead I get to pay for lousy service and line ATT's pockets for something that has worked for free. Most of the time I have two machines on the home network, sometimes three machines. So I have to pay at least $10 and possibly &15 more per month. Of course what choice do I have? QWorst has gone and forced all of their customers to use M$N. Last time I checked though I had no choice -- no DSL at my house. Ahhh, the joy of Monopoly!...mj 10:02:31 PM

Bush's niece on drugs Noelle Bush, the daughter of Florida Governor Jeb Bush and niece of President George W Bush, has been arrested for allegedly trying to obtain a controlled drug with a fraudulent prescription. [BBC News] ...let's see...Bush's daughters using false ID to buy booze...the president has a 'denied' history of coke snorting...now this story...so much for the republican moral high-ground...mj 11:51:28 AM
