The Apple Name Game [Slashdot]

Another example of how extremism hurts causes. Yes, there have been abuses in this area (eg., Lindows vs. Windows and Visa claiming they own the word Visa), but this isn't one of them. An ISP named Apple Communications, may make people think they are affiliated with Apple Computers Inc. and shouldn't be allowed. If Apple doesn't fight this it is effectively allowing the name Apple to be used generically as a company name within the IT industry... They can't allow that to happen...Grow up, guys

World AIDS day today. Remember to Link and Think today.

Link and Think is an observance of World AIDS Day in the personal web publishing communities. The project involves hundreds of webloggers, journalers, diarists and other personal website publishers, each linking to resources about HIV/AIDS or publishing personal stories about how the AIDS pandemic has affected them.

Bitter business card toons. Tiny, bitter cartoons drawn on the backs of bizcards. Hugh sez:

I'm becoming famous for sitting in bars and drawing this weird cartoon stuff on the back of business cards. I've got a cult following now. It's strange. I dunno. The stuff gets published. All I was looking for was something to do besides sitting in bars.

Living in NY- if ypu're not sitting in your tiny wee apartment, then you're sitting in an office, bar, restaurant or park bench. Woo-Hoo! Some choices.

The Insecurity of Computer Security

The truth is, any system can be hacked, and it is always easier to do from inside. Moreover, the greater the payoff, the more likely a hack.
