Duron hits 900
the register reports that AMD has released the 900MHz Duron CPU today. This is surely one of the best price-performance chips you can get today, so if you really HAVE TO buy a PC, consider this.

Oh my god!!
the register reports that Microsofts PassPort Service Agreement contract has some surprises for you: They may actually do whatever they want with anything you send over their service, including using an ideas you send, any business plans, inventions etc etc. They may post your name officially etc etc. I just can't stop asking myself: "Who the hell do these guys think they are? God? (rather the opposite if that, I guess)". Good thing I never had any e-mail going out from one of their accounts. Subscribe to something else than hotmail.com now, if you like your privacy.
And this sounds like a bad joke after the above article.

Rotten morals and infernal power, what is it?
