A sad day today, for sure. For today is the last day that Netscape Navigator will be supported. Today is the end of a great browser and one that still has echoes in everything we use today. For those of you too young, or otherwise interested in other things (like WHAT?) I’ll give you a [...]

In a hearing that will determine if wikileaks.org should continue to have it’s domain records empty are getting some lawyers on their side with the help of the EFF and the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union.)

Microsoft, already owing the EU €497.2 million for an anti-trust suit regarding royalties from licensing, were imposed a huge fine of €899 Million by the commission today for failure to comply with the order.

And we know what starts in the server market finishes on the desktop. Intel released details to Sun of their next chip and wanted them to keep it pretty secret, however Sun let it slip on a public server over the weekend – oops. Maybe Intel won’t be so eager to announce their intentions to [...]
