Griffin threw out the idea of a $5/month tax (which would be added to people’s ISP bill), generating $20 billion/year in revenues. The tax won’t be mandatory, he implies. And he also said that it...

The reality is no one knows what's going on. Neither the CEOs of the companies, the Fed, nor any of the Managing Directors know what's going to happen.
Will people be fired? Yes. But no one knows how many, who, or when, and anyone else saying otherwise is simply spreading false rumors.
This was covered on the web a few weeks ago but I thought it was worth pointing out for those who may have missed it...Textfyre is an interactive fiction developer who plans on putting text adventures back in the gaming public eye. Gamasutra ran an interview with founder, David Cornelson last month in which he outlines Textfyre's plans. He plans to initially sell the new titles online, with a view to eventually selling them as boxed packages in Borders and Barnes and Noble. Not a bad idea.I can see his logic in thinking there may be a market for text adventures, given the popularity of Young Reader fiction book titles. I used to love text adventures as a kid and found it really easy to lose myself in their worlds. I wonder if this still applies to kids today? Well, I hope he does well with his venture - I tip my hat to him for trying something different in today's market.If you'd like to read more, Grand Text Auto has some other information here.www.passfieldgames.com
Felipe Massa believes Ferrari is poised to strike back at Indianapolis this weekend after two successive defeats by McLaren.
The Maranello squad began the season as the team to beat, and while its uncompetitiveness at Monaco was attributed to its long-wheelbase chassis, it fared little better at the much faster Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal.
But Ferrari has a remarkable record at Indy, having failed to win just once in seven years, and Massa believes the US Grand Prix could be the more…
Here is some excerpts for a Der Spiegel article about the situation in naher el Bared camp. I choose the parts where the journalist interviews a Lebanese soldier.As a side note, I've always respected the army and its soldiers but after these past days, damn I have become proud and fiercely supportive of our boys!!!Head here to read the full articleThanks for Beirut Spring for pointing it out.Excerpts: "During the next 48 hours, we will eradicate them," says the elite Lebanese soldier, lying behind a freshly raised mound of red earth. "They," of course, are the militants of the radical Palestinian group Fatah Islam. And the effort to eradicate them has virtually destroyed the Palestinian refugee camp Nahr al-Bared where they are holed up.The ground is strewn with the empty casings of high-caliber bullets; the soot-blackened ruins of the camp north of the Lebanese seaport of Tripoli stand about 200 meters (650 feet) away. Fatah Islam snipers on the roofs take aim at the Lebanese rangers
The Sedins have come under fire lately for their lack of offensive output and looking 'soft' during the playoffs. Daniel had 5 points and was a -5 in 12 games. Hank had 4 points and was a -8. It was revealed after the Ducks series that both Sedins were suffering from stomach illnesses. Regardless, I think that generally the media and perhaps a lot of fans like myself expected more out of them regardless.Very recently the Sedins dropped their usual passive image and their dance moves, retaliating in a sense to all the bad press they have received."I've heard it all before, it doesn't bother me at all. But it's just wrong," Daniel said. "We played two playoff series against two tough teams, really tough teams. But there was no hitting on us. I don't think I got hit once in the playoffs. How are we soft then? I don't know.But I know how far we've come. I know how we were in the first two years and I know where we are now. We've come a long way." True. They have come a long way. T
