1. Comment - Analyst: Microsoft Loss in MP3 Case Sets Dangerous Precedent

   We could always switch to Ogg Vorbis.

2. Comment - AOL Launches Alternative IE Browser

   Actually, I would contend that 30 million folks doing the same thing don't have to be right. They could all be wrong, or misled, or simply ignorant of the facts and following a "herd mentality." AOL's interface is bloated, full of un-necessary "fluff" and tend's to cause a system to drag over time. I tell clients interested in a quick, clean Internet experience to drop AOL and go with a straight, standard broadband (non-AOL) connection that doesn't get in the way of actually using the Internet. Just my humble opinion, though.

3. Comment - MSN Blocks 'Forbidden Speech' in Blogs

   Should we censor ourselves because a country like China doesn’t want its citizens to hear nasty words like “freedom” and “democracy?” Should we “cave” to such requests? In a word, “No!” We shouldn’t refrain from saying exactly what we think. That is the beauty of the Internet, and blogging, specifically… if you don’t like what I say, you can comment, or you can write your own blog… but such “ominous” concepts as freedom will still get through to Chinese readers even if the ‘net at large does try to appease China’s oppressive government. Freedom is like a virus… it is communicable, and it spreads!
   
   We should continue to say what we think, be free to speak our minds, and engage in critical thinking! “Big Brother,” whether in China, or any other country, has no right to force “his” thoughts on the citizenry. I have found technology to be a force for freedom, and freedom of expression. The Internet, and its related technologies certainly is! And, by quickly, and efficiently, disseminating information, I believe it will continue to “spread” freedom of thought… even if some try and use censorship as the “cure” to it!
   
   So, come on American corporations… stay on the side of freedom… don’t take a stand against it!

4. Comment - IBM BlueGene to Decipher Cosmic Rays

   (May 20, 2005 - 8:56 AM)

   Actually, since cosmic rays are what created the Fantastic Four, I think this is just an undercover operation by Reed Richards, who is still looking for a "cure" for Ben Grimm. But then, that's just my opinion.

   Normally I am not too kind to Microsoft, but this is one instance when I am behind their efforts 100%! Go get 'em!
