Millennium bridge. Net notes: A year and a half after it was closed for being too wobbly, London's Millennium bridge is finally open to the public. Read our guide to the best of bridges on the net. [Guardian Unlimited]
When Cait and I were in London this summer we saw an engineer walking carefully across the bridge. The boats tour guide was making fun of the whole affair. I'm glad they got it sorted out.

News.Com: Napster court win puts labels in spotlight. The order does not affect the legality of Napster's file-swapping service, which has already been shut down as a result of previous legal decisions.

Wired News: Online Tunes: People Are Paying. Radio MX listeners can't choose specific songs or the order they are played but they can select genres and musicians that are randomly played. It's not Napster but it appeals to people who are tired of the din of traditional radio, yet don't want to take the time to download hundreds of songs.
