History of Podcasting!

Seems someone with an agenda is over on Wikipedia making changes to the History of Podcasting. Specifically removing Dave Winer from all mentions. This is beyond a travesty, and even though the majority of us that have been in the space for a while know the real history, it upsets me to see people using the WiKi to make changes

Yahoo may buy Skype

This is just bad news in my opinion, it seems everything Yahoo buys seems to just flop around like a dead fish without any major improvements.

Apple probably sued Bloggers to keep lid on Intel deal!

Companies will go to great lengths to protect their bottom lines.
