What an exciting topic from a business publication. Well presented, but 10 out of 10 world savers are working in the U.S.? Somewhat narrow focus.

This will be interesting... what kind of reactions from the open source community we will witness. This is a good story that lays out some of the background information on what has happened so far.

Google has started classifying malware sites. There are solutions to these threats. Every now and then, it would be great to read about the solutions as well.

The idea of social lending has been around a while, but currency exchange maybe something new. In any case, the article discusses some first hand experiences in the business of microfinancing.

Despite the unnamed sources, these reporters are doing valuable work. This information, which the sources have had longer than we who are reading this, affects prices in the stock markets.

I would imagine that the more *trusted* a brand is, the more vulnerable it is to crime that exploit it. A basic report about a report that has new statistics about brand hijacking on the Internet.

An interesting title, but the story doesn't tell anything about media, but entertainment industry's battle with copy-protection. Technology is clean industry?

Internet TV enables a whole new dimension to displaying ads and having product placements. This is one of first articles that is able to specify how the ad-supported, free TV on the Internet might be seen by a viewer.

This maybe a significant deal for community-based Wi-Fi access sharing across the world. It would have been interesting to get views from Skype or Google who investing in the Wi-Fi sharing system.

Remarkable news that hopefully puts pressure on other major record labels. Why would EMI license MP3 tracks to iTunes only? What's the excuse for having higher price for MP3 songs? I'm looking for further analysis to this piece of news as well.

A long article that's well written and presented. An overview of the semantic Web. It is, however, painful to read because of the design of the web site that breaks stories into small chunks in order to generate more pages (and page views).

Nik Cubrilovic discovered a weak spot in the OpenID concept. The topic would deserve a clearer analysis - and perhaps marketing, if its proponents want the concept to become popular.

More likely, this is another sign of the direction where all TV content will be heading in the years to come. The story itself is just a brief report.
