AOL Laying of 1300 People

I've told you all for a long time to sell your AOL stock, well the company is claiming that their customers don't need very much tech support. My bet is they are moving tech support off shore to save money. [latimes.com]

Recording Industry says it’s ok now to Rip CD’s for you MP3 Player

Well it's funny that the RIAA is saying that it is now legal to RIP your CD's onto your MP3 players. Don't they realize that the entire world has been ripping CD's onto MP3 players for a long time.

Yahoo accused of putting advertising in Spyware

If this turns out to have some merits, which for all purposes looks pretty convincing from the outside, Yahoo may have a pretty big problem on their hands. With advertisers expecting to have ads served on high quality sites the accusations in this lawsuit are very damning. [www.eweek.com]

Is the Universe on a expand and crunch cycle
