* CEOs skim off 8% of a merger’s value. Ugly. * Isaac Hayes’ Three Laws of Robotics. Ha. * RSS Screensaver. Pointcast lives. * Bittorrent traffic surpasses kazaa. And so of course we have… * Bitoogle, the search engine for torrent files. * Doom 3 goes gold. Yeeha! * Commoditization of software. Interesting. * Is .Net stealing Java’s Thunder? Yet again, Microsoft is making the platform very affordable and easy to adopt. * Gates: DVDs obsolete in 10 Years. For me it may be sooner, I am pretty happy with Video on Demand services. * Software that lasts 200 years. Good read.
