XKCD Improving the Internet ... Yet Again 204

netbuzz writes "Comic creator Randall Monroe suggested in a recent xkcd strip that YouTube comments would be better — or, more precisely, less idiotic — if only those posting them were forced to hear their words read aloud first. Well, YouTube has gone and made this "audio preview" a reality, albeit an optional one. And, it's not the first time that xkcd has contributed to the betterment of the Internet, as those who are familiar with last year's "Internet census" and its use of a Hilbert curve may remember."

Submission + - TicketMaster files suit against RMG Technologies (financialhealthzone.com)

Matt Beckman writes: "Following up the story from last week. Ticketmaster has filed suit against the small software company RMG Technologies because, they say, RMG's software allows users to acquire tickets quickly and easily, providing a method for dealers to scalp tickets for popular venues. In their latest press release, Ticketmaster says a Federal Court has granted their request for an injunction against RMG Technologies, saying they are "committed to ensuring that consumers have fair and equitable access to tickets." Ticketmaster employed similar techniques against Cleveland Cavaliers after the Cavaliers launched a web site allowing season-ticket holders to resell or give-away unused tickets."
