WorldCom blew internet bubble
"IT WAS an essential ingredient of dotcom business plans and conference slide-shows: Internet traffic, went the industry's favourite statistic, doubles every 100 days. The claim assumed unimpeachable status when it appeared in a report published by America's Department of Commerce in April 1998. Unfortunately for the telecoms firms that rushed to build networks to carry the reported surge in traffic, it wasn't true.
So where did the claim come from? According to Andrew Odlyzko, a former researcher at AT&T who is now at the University of Minnesota, the short answer is WorldCom."

"The controversial vessel known as The World sailed back into Oslo on Tuesday, only to be met by rain and a small band of protesters. The vessel hasn't been getting the warmest of welcomes at Norwegian ports."

Hunt for bin Laden goes online
With all the stories about Bin Laden hiding messages on porn sites, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if someone faked an Al Quaida message on pictures of nude girls. What I don't get is why they should use porn sites. Why not pictures birds or dinosaurs or locomotives?

Health for all or riches for some?
"Can we still rely on the World Health Organisation? It has not openly opposed the greed of the major global pharmaceutical companies and its director-general, Gro Harlem Brundtland, has deferred to them."

10 of the best...revolutions... ever
Thanks to Alister Black for pointing out this top ten list by SSP MP Tommy Sheridan. My list would include the Chinese revolution, and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. And the Mao quote Tommy mentions is really from Chou En Lai.

This is illegal in Denmark
In a tremendously stupid verdict, Danish courts have ruled socalled 'deep linking illegal. To read about this story in Danish, go to Computerworld Denmark and you'll find it there, somewhere.

The Blogger International (Hyper Text Marxist-Leninists)?
Nice plug from Martin Wisse, who's got a blog far superior to mine. It seems he's setting up a socialist blogger international all by himself... Now that's something for the Leftist Trainspotters list...
He could add
Bjarke på nett
Alister Black
Rödvinsvänster
and
slaskrad
as well.

Man wearing 'Fugitive' t-shirt arrested
This means I'll have to ditch several of my own t-shirts, I guess. 'Public Enemy', 'Millions of dead cops' etc.

Big noises at odds over the sound of silence
This is one of the funniest battles over copyright/plagiarism I've ever seen!
"Mike Batt, the man behind the Wombles and Vanessa Mae, has put a silent 60-second track on the album of his latest classical chart-topping protégés, the Planets. This has enraged representatives of the avant-garde, experimentalist composer John Cage, who died in 1992. The silence on his group's album clearly sounds uncannily like 4'33", the silence composed by Cage in his prime.
Batt said last night: "I've received a letter on behalf of John Cage's music publishers. I was in hysterics when I read their letter."
"[...] my silence is original silence, not a quotation from his silence."
