An anonymous reader writes "According to recently filed pleadings in a Florida court case, linked from the article, Google is paying millions of dollars each month in Adsense revenue to domain name kiters and typosquatters. We only know this because Dell and its lawyers have now confiscated the Google Adsense accounts and are having the revenue held in an escrow account to satisfy any damage award."

  Dutch populist Wilders calls for ban on Quran 2007-08-08 12:55 Anonymous Coward

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Wednesday August 08 2007, @12:55PM
An anonymous reader writes "Dutch anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders has called for the Quran to be banned in the Netherlands, branding it a 'fascist book' in the vein of Adolf Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' which legitimises violence. Writing in Dutch daily De Volkskrant on Wednesday Wilders said: "Ban this wretched book just like 'Mein Kampf' is banned. Send a signal ... to Islamists that the Koran can never, ever be used in our country as an excuse or inspiration for violence." http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1114413"

  Microsoft Vista-Live Combo Impacts Google 2007-02-22 19:34 ReadWriteWeb

Submitted by ReadWriteWeb on Thursday February 22 2007, @07:34PM
ReadWriteWeb writes "Windows Vista is finally out and along with that Microsoft seems to have kick-started its Vista-Live joint initiative. Which means that Microsoft makes its Windows Live web properties the default in Windows Vista PCs, where possible — for example Live Search is the default search engine in IE7 on new Vista machines. Stats from Alexa show that after Vista's release, traffic on Live.com and MSN rose sharply. And interestingly, both tangents have the same slope: Live's slope is 0.79 and MSN's is 0.76. On the other hand, Google's Alexa chart shows the reverse trend. There is a significant fall in Google's traffic after Vista was released and Google's slope is a negative 0.5. Is this an early indication that new Vista users are happy with what is given as the default — that for example Live Search is 'good enough' compared to Google search?"

Why pay $20,000 for a commercial link to run your television station when a $10 kitchen wok from the Warehouse is just as effective?

  What Happened to IE7? 2007-02-22 15:44 ToeJet

Submitted by ToeJet on Thursday February 22 2007, @03:44PM
ToeJet writes "Internet Explorer 7 seems to me MIA on the Microsoft Update site. As a SysAdmin that handles multiple computers and windows versions, the IE7 update is being skipped since it broke internal apps at my company. Building a new machine this morning, the normal windows update process was begun (Update, reboot, repeat....). Scanning for IE7 to remove it from the update list turns up missing. After checking sever machines, both 2003 and XP, IE7 is not listed as an update or a hidden update. A critical update disappears, What gives?"
