<Microsoft's latest new direction is about as interesting as OpenDoc was. Oh wait. Hold on. It is OpenDoc. Oy. Helllp.  [Scripting News]
OpenDoc was great! Didn't Apple kill it because of Microsoft? Ironic, isn't it. I used Cyberdog up to when I moved to Mac OS X. I would use it if it ran in Mac OS X...

BBC, the goofy Google bomb concept has hit mainstream media. The subtext of this concept is that individuals with personal websites shouldn't have the ability to show up on Google for any combination of keywords. Why? This thinking assumes that individuals don't and can't publish anything of value. It assumes that their motives are corrupt and focused on petty personal gain. Further, it's implied that only journalists and corporate run sites have the integrity to publish anything of value, and that they alone should show up on Google. Bah! [John Robb's Radio Weblog]
I think Google Bombs by companies, governments, or others with something to hide, are much more harmful than those by individual bloggers. The system will correct itself. When a corrupt Google Bomb appears, individual bloggers will do something about it. Since Google respects numbers individuals should win over others. This is what worries mainstream media, especially advertisers.

Is email like a phone call?
Document Retention And E-mail [Slashdot]
I've always consider email like phone calls. You are not force to tape those. Why should email be different? Just because it could be kept automatically? One problem with my idea is that it makes it difficult to have official memos through email (remember the paper less office?), this can be solved easily by setting an account keep@yourcompany.com and explaining that only things with copies to that account can be consider official.

It's better to become a pirate or to join the navy? Maybe it's the same thing!
 There's a bug in the idea that the govt could require the computer hacks that the entertainment industry wants. At some point the govt will realize that it would render its own computers unusable. Of course they could put exemptions on their computers. Then we could all get government jobs. We'll need them, because there won't be any computer industry jobs except to make computers for the government. [Scripting News]
One thing the people pushing for this laws do not understand is that there are other countries quite capable of making computers and software. Once the computers and software from the US becomes trash, this other countries will gladly sell us useful computers...
