[Wired News]   Net Surf: Cyber Surveillance - MusicBot is BMI's copyright-violation cop software that crawls the Web for musical infringements. So what if a simple HotBot search would yield the same results as their proprietary code? [Wired News]   Net Surf: Digital X-Mas - With the triple threat of shopping, traveling, and family hell on the horizon, thoughts naturally turn toward editorial-calendar gimmicks.

[Wired News]   Net Surf: Imagining the Web - The Web lacks velocity and mass. Everybody knows both are just around the next corner, and the dizzying mix of anticipation and desperation hides between the lines of almost every ambitious Internet business plan.
