Horst Prillinger:  "Jake Savin of UserLand wrote this morning to say that all the things that I'd told Dave Winer that broke HTML 4 compliance in Radio-generated weblogs (ampersands in URLs, missing ALT attributes, the BRODER issue) have now been fixed. This is very good news..."

Straight Talk About Blog Abuse.  "Blog abuse is a rapidly growing crisis which is reaching epidemic proportions. Blogs threaten the very fabric of society, wrecking countless lives and weakening our nation's moral fiber with their insidious evil. The true horror stories of blog abuse are both too numerous to mention and too shocking to relate here."  [how now Ophelia?   [mizdos.com]]

Yesterday came the news that Bill Gates "pledged $100 million to fight AIDS in India."  I thought that was great and almost posted something about it.  For whatever reason, I deleted the item from my aggregator (from a different source whom I can't recall now) and moved on to other things.

This morning, the following story appeared in my aggregator, via CNET:
Microsoft to stake $400 million in India:

"Today, India is of strategic importance to our business and will continue to be so, as its developer and skill base continues to grow," said Gates, who was visiting India for the third time.

Good for the people that will benefit from Gates' personal pledge to fight AIDS.  That's an important fight and I'll call Gates' gesture generous.  But, I can't help but wonder if he even realizes how it looks from this side of the fence.
