For the last week or so, I’d been having trouble with my internet connection. I would lose my connection to the outside on a regular basis.It seemed to get worse over time. By Monday, it was only up for 2-5 minutes at a time. Each time I would turn off the cable modem and then...

Scoble asks if theXbox 360 is a Web 2.0 product.I love my Xbox 360, but no, it's not Web 2.0. For as far as this Web 2.0 concept means anything, it's about open methods of sharing: RSS, API's for web applications, etc. It's cool that I can download things from the Xbox marketplace, but that's...

If you don't like AIM's ad windows and such (and find, as I did tonight, that I can't get rid of it with any free program yet), and you, like I, find Trillian to be bloated, unintuitive, and ugly, then get gaim.
