Xerox has a new document watermarking technology based on a printer flaw. Very neat! 1:50:29 PM     (another post from tingilinde) pingpong++ Jeff points out a rather amazing piece of ping-pong performance art. 7:32:58 AM     An attempt to classify a few of the prominent blogs. Calling the Drudge Report journalism is like calling Fox News journalism .. 7:03:27 AM     An addictive little game. Keep balls from falling into a drain. 6:21:29 AM     While listening to yesterday's Morning Edition this morning I came across a great review on the movie The Magdalene Sisters. Great and frightening stuff - it clearly seems to be a movie to watch. Catch the trailer. 6:21:12 AM     Verizon is dismissing AT&T's recent DSL offer. A few months ago Verizon began to offer a fast DSL service for $30 a month as part of a bundle with a stand-alone price of $35. Cable modem service has become more expensive over hte past year with most monthly bills averaging about $50 a month. SBC and Verizon are both pushing DSL with lower price points and perhaps we will see a price war like we did in the mid 1990s on dialup access. Canada, South Korea and Japan have dramatically lower broadband access charges ($15 to $20 a month) - it will be interesting to see if broadband drops to the what many regard as a psychological boundary for mass adoption of the service -- anywhere from $20 to $25 a month. It would be nice to have more competition to force the lower prices nationally. People will certainly sign up for AT&T's service - but only in areas not covered by current cable modem service or Verizon (and possibly) SBC DSL. 6:20:43 AM
