Rob Fahrni asks:
Will the stupidity ever end? Now Be has decided to sue Microsoft, hey why not Apple? Apple computers come pre-installed with Apple OS don't they? And didn't Apple kill off the clone vendors.

They sue Micro$oft because:
1) Everybody is doing it
2) They have more money than Apple
That is Lawsuits 101 in Law School!
No, the stupidity will never end...

Not All Asian E-Mail Is Spam. E-mail from China, Korea and Taiwan contains a great deal of spam, so much so systems administrators are blocking all posts from their systems. That means some legitimate messages aren't being delivered, too. By Michelle Delio. [Wired News]

I actually have a mail filter for any mail from Argentina (.ar) and further filters for emails of people I actually know with a .ar email. The first filter sends the message to the trash, the others puts it back into InBox if it is from a known address.
