Napster's Latest Move: Will It Stave Off Legal Checkmate? In an abrupt about face, Napster today said it will embrace acoustic "fingerprinting" technology to help filter copyrighted songs out of its system. One analyst today praised the move as a way for the music-swapping service to keep one step ahead of the recording industry in their long-running legal dispute. http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/164779.html Looking To See If we Are Doomed To Repeat Ourselves "We have a new volunteer writer, a bright young man named Jeffery Commaroto. A very in-depth thought-provoking article on the "corporate culture" of America and where it came from." --Zeropaid Staff http://www.zeropaid.com/news/news.php3?id=04222001b Early Nirvana, Other Indie Music Still Thrives On Napster Imagine a ruthlessly efficient army of robots running wild through the nation's record stores, removing every bit of major label product from the shelves, from Britney to Bob Dylan — but leaving behind CDs from independent labels. Since March, that unlikely scenario has taken place, more or less, on the free but legally precarious online music bazaar that is Napster. http://www.sonicnet.com/news/digital...442959&index=2 Survey Finds Hail of ‘Friendly Fire’ E-Mails Waste Time A new study finds that with managing e-mail taking up more than an hour of many workers' days, at least 34 percent of messages do not contain any information employees need to do their jobs properly. "We were shocked by the result," said Neil MacDonald, vice president and director of research with Gartner Inc., a research advisory firm in Stamford, Ct. "What this means is a third of that time, or roughly a third, is wasted." http://abcnews.go.com/sections/scite...ail010420.html SDMI cracks revealed The academic cracker crew led by Princeton University Computer Science Professor Edward Felten, which answered the HackSDMI public challenge of last September with 'unqualified' results, has received veiled threats of criminal prosecution under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) from the SDMI Foundation in hopes that the team will be cowed into withholding what it's learned from an upcoming computer science conference. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/8/18434.html NASA grounds Pope Pope John Paul II's influence may extend to all matters spiritual, but his Holiness's clout doesn't run to the extra-terrestrial, it seems. US rocket courier NASA has banned space shuttle Endeavour fly-boy Umberto Guidoni (above) from being the first man to deliver the world's first ultra-atmospheric papal missive. The reason? Well, it might upset the non-Roman-Catholic crew members. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/28/18433.html The Garfield comic strip of the day ! The Dilbert strip of the day !
