Yahoo Pipes Clogged

Yahoo Pipes launched today, and then quickly became “clogged” (their cheekiness, not mine).

“Pipes is a hosted service that lets you remix feeds and create new data mashups in a visual programming environment. The name of the service pays tribute to Unix pipes, which let programmers do astonishingly clever things by making it easy to chain simple utilities together on the command line.”

Network Solutions Acquired By General Atlantic

Network Solutions Sold

Weâ€™re just getting news that domain name registrar (the original one) Network Solutions has been acquired by General Atlantic, a private equity firm. The price is rumored at $800 million.

Network Solutions was the original domain name registrar and was part of Verisign until it was spun off in 2003. Since that time, theyâ€™ve lost a stupendous amount of market share to discount operations like GoDaddy, eNom and others. They now have about 6.6 million domain names under management.

New York teen sues record industry

RIAA Sucks

“A New York teen, dubbed a pirate by the Record Industry, is counter suing them for defamation, violating anti-trust laws, conspiring to defraud the courts and making extortionate threats.”

The RIAA has been so busy going after “pirates” that they’ve refused to acknowledge the collateral damage in their war against piracy, stepping on anyone they THINK may have downloaded music, without regard for the usual requirements for a court case (like any EVIDENCE). I hope the courts give that kid a big fat monetary judgement from the RIAA.
