While most people are more affected by email rather than mobile spammers, it's still good to see at least one company get a conviction for spamming people and interrupting their ability to communicate.

the Swift Tuttle comet's debris annually colides with the planet Earth in mid August giving us all shooting stars which are called the Perseids.

Its up to you. The last time the comet itself was visible was in 1992, someday that comet will collide with us but not yet. read full story / add a comment

Now Clarke is being set up by NYT journalist John Markoff as a target of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with claims that Freenet is not about freespeech and anonymity, but actually about trading copyrighted material. Slashdot also has a discussion on the matter which refutes this. read full story / add a comment
