Do you really think there's anything about being on the Moon that is going to change human nature? Will the Moon colonists share everything and unite in a Moon-wide kum-bah-yah?

Of course there's going to be weapons up there, and of course the US will want to "hog" all the glory. Better than China or Russia at least...

http://nic.ly/ is down (and not resolving) as a result of this, and at least a couple of the root servers for .ly (dns.lttnet.net and dns1.lttnet.net) are down, although out-of-country resolution is still functional (although, it's not clear to me if they're simply running off of caches). I suspect bit.ly is pretty happy they've been pimping j.mp lately. :)

dotarray writes "Apple's Game Center has just made itself a few enemies through a simple change to their Terms of Service. Now, whenever you send a friend invitation, your real name will be attached as well as your Apple ID." Apparently they didn't learn from the poor reaction to Blizzard's similar idea.
