There’s a lot of interesting things on the net today! Here is a web-based word processor – sorta. It actually seems to be an artists attempt at showing what his ideal word processor would be. I quite like his project, and enjoy the opportunity to write my thoughts on a bunch of different objects, including a receipt and plug paper!

I find both humor and hope in this article about Microsoft’s appeal. Microsoft has taken an interesting approach to this case: contempt. They are not trying to hide their contempt for Judge Jackson or Jackson’s ruling. They are going after both his Findings of Fact and his Remedy. Interesting strategy. I don’t think it’ll work, but interesting.

I don’t expect Microsoft to be broken up. I fully expect that part of the Remedy to be denied. What I really hope to see, however, is the appeals court to agree that Microsoft needs to release the full set of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), or even the source code to Windows itself. Once this information is public, Microsoft will be less able to control the computer industry.

I found this a very interesting URL. It is a link to YouCANN!, an information page about alternate DNS heirarchies. There is more than just .org, .com and .net out there. This site helps you get there.
