News - Hubble Space Telescope detects atmosphere around planet of distant star: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/13/science/13PLAN.html



Comment - "The discovery comes as no surprise, astronomers say, but is important nonetheless as apparent confirmation that the extrasolar planets observed so far not only are much like the solar system's Jupiter in size but also are similarly huge gaseous bodies."



News - Spam volume on the Internet has doubled in past six months; now makes up 40 percent of all e-mail traffic: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A17754-2003Mar12.html



Comment - I hope e-mail doesn't go the way of CB-Radio, where bad traffic drove away all the good traffic. Personally, I don't find spam all that difficult to handle. I get a lot of it but it doesn't take long to delete. I can almost always tell from the header if it is junk. P.S.: my Weblog is not Spam!
