The History of the Internet

By Dave Kristula, March 1997 / Update: August 2001

Honestly, I found this article to be really boring. It was hard to read the article without falling asleep. But the idea of the article was interesting. I mean without the history of the internet you'll never be able to read about how boring I found "The History of the Internet" to be. And to think that it all started with "The USSR launches Sputnik, the first artificial earth satellite." in 1957. We came a long way over the past 52 yrs.

Growth in Internet crime calls for growth in punishment

Growth in Internet crime calls for growth in punishment

Posted on 03 December 2008.

In its "End of Year Data Security Wrap-up" for 2008, F-Secure explains how 2008 has been another record year of explosive growth in the amount of malicious software (malware) on the Internet. F-Secure’s detection count tripled in one year, which means that the total amount of malware accumulated over the previous 21 years increased by 200% in the course of just one year.Title, link, quote, comment, picture

Steve Jobs isn’t interested in Netbooks

Steve Jobs isn’t interested in Netbooks - just ask him

Posted by: Michael on Dec 8, 2008 | Buzz up!

Analyst Ezra Gottheil from Technology Business Research (TBR) needs to find another job.

If you can make it through this very long winded article on Apple Insider, what you’ll find is that Gottheil is certain that Apple is going to release a $599 netbook sometime in the first half of next year.

He bases this on the fact that “It is too much to ask consumers to pay more than twice as much for a PC in these times,”

In other words, he’s pulling it out of his ass.

The Simpsons mocks (m)Apple

by Thomas Ricker, posted Dec 1st 2008 at 4:00AM

Few have been spared the satire of Matt Groening's long running animated sitcom. Last night, The Simpsons took on Apple, or uh, Mapple for a full 6 minutes of lampoonery -- a pretty harsh ride at a two-joke per minute pace. It all starts when the Springfield mall gets its very own Mapple store, "it's so sterile," gasps Lisa upon entering. Perhaps the best exchange comes from Bart's dubbing of a Steve Mobs' product announcement in front of a crowd of gaping nerds, "You think you're cool because you buy a $500 phone with a picture of a fruit on it. Well guess what? They cost 8 bucks to make and I pee on every one!" A Mapple store employee then angrily responds, "Who dares question the boss we fired 10 years ago and then brought back!" Yuk yuk. Videos after the break for as long as it takes for the copyrighters to wake up.
