| | Just back from a briefing with the registration company behind the new .tel domain.

Though they'll probably cost around $100,000 to purchase, the chance to own a user- and search-friendly domain will be a no-brainer for … |
| | That was quick, but I suppose it would be. Readers might have heard that while America has had the Lehmann Brothers crisis, we've had our own little meltdown in the UK and two of our banks, HBOS and Lloyds, have decided to merge.

| | Apple has grabbed lots of headlines this week, some for things it has done, others for things done to it. Of all the major Apple products, only the iPod has escaped mention. With perhaps the potential to affect the most people is the deal announced this week with AT&T to … |
| | I guess you could call it karma. HD Moore's company, BreakingPoint, found that traffic was being diverted to a scammer Google page.

Without seeing any of the new domain names just yet it's difficult to tell … |
| | So the ICANN people are discussing a major overhaul of the Internet in [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7474889.stm"]Paris today[/URL]. I can't say I'm all that delighted.

| | If you're visiting a known site such as Google.com, you're perfectly safe, right? Wrong.

The vulnerability exists … |
| | The biggest test of Internet homeland security went pretty much unnoticed this week. Yet it represents the most serious attack on the Internet itself for five years.

| | Well, maybe for a week or three anyway. That is the theory being bandied around wherever more than three geeks assembly for longer than 10 minutes, or so it seems. Perhaps it is just the company I keep. However, is there any merit in the idea that Vista, and specifically … |
| | It’s bad enough, as an individual, to discover that the domain name you wanted has been snapped up by some corporate pirate looking to make a mighty profit by sitting on it and selling it on. It is even worse when these cyber-squatters snap up a domain you had been … |
| | Here we go with the mobile phone beat-down again: Cingular Wireless, in a move boiling over with distasteful corporate hubris, has had the unmitigated effrontery to announce that they are going to charge folks with "older phones" an additional five bucks a month (OK, $4.99, but who's splitting hairs here?) … |
