1.	Is It Wrong to Share Your Music? (Discuss). Teenagers, the record industry's tastemakers, are coming to grips with being its adversaries. By Katie Hafner.
2.	For the Kitchen, Top-Drawer Touches. Briging order to the spice drawer, and other organizational fantasies of the kitchen-obsessed. By Michelle Slatalla.

7.	A DVD Recorder to Settle Those Thursday Night Fights. As DVD recorders continue to muscle in on turf long held by analog videocassette recorders, Panasonic is promoting a new model that offers several ways to snag, store, transport and play back your favorite television shows, home videos or photos. Within its slick silvery shell, the Panasonic DMR-E100H holds a 120-gigabyte hard drive next to its DVD recorder. There are also slots for PCMCIA and Secure Digital memory cards and a connection for a camcorder's FireWire cable. By J.d. Biersdorfer.
8.	For the Gadget-Packed Home, a Souped-Up Cable Signal. When the entertainment center in most homes consisted of a television (with perhaps a branch office in the bedroom) and a VCR, the signal from the cable company was strong enough to do the job. Now that the cable signal might be divided among several TV's, VCR's, digital video recorders, set-top boxes and the like, an amplifier is often needed before the signal is strong enough to go around. By Ivan Berger.
9.	A Dissent on the Digital Divide. CONTRARY to the federal government's current thinking about the digital divide, the gap may not be closing so quickly after all, according to a new statistical analysis of data from household surveys. By Lisa Guernsey.

5.	Our first Cinema HD arrived at the office yesterday.
6.	BusinessWeek: Things That Go Beep In the Night. A similar thing happened to me when my smoke detector's battery got low -- there's nothing quite like a half-second ear-splitting beep every few minutes. But when I finally pulled the depleted battery out it got worse: the beep didn't go away. Apparently my smoke detector is wired into the sprinkler system. Can't rip it out of the ceiling, can't find a 9V battery (why the #$! does it need a battery if it's wired in?), definitely* can't sleep. Eventually what was left of my brain realized that I could steal the battery from the office smoke detector and let that one beep (which I could still hear through two closed doors).
7.	The Register: Transmeta, Nvidia confirm 'nForce for Efficeon' tale. Here's a radical idea: hook up an nForce 2 southbridge to the Efficeon and you're done. I don't see why all the AGP theories are needed.
8.	Intel finally outed their BladeCenter-clone Enterprise Blade Server Family (the name is as creative as the design).
9.	The Inquirer: Pentium 4 Extreme Edition - XeonMP yields are damn good, it seems! I love it; they're selling the same chip for either $720 or $3000.
10.	The Register: We�re stuck with ICANN: Official. Bummer. OTOH, the fact that the MoU needed to be renewed shows that ultimately ICANN still answers to the Department of Commerce and thus to us. There's still time to lobby Congress to shut ICANN down.
11.	So Sun announced that their Mad Hatter Linux distribution is officially called Java Desktop System, even though there's not much Java in it. It seems particularly risky to recommend that ISVs write GNOME desktop applications in Java when Sun hasn't demonstrated that that's even feasible.
