An alliterative introduction – Podcast Number 44 – Dr. Bill discovers it is no longer 19**, but it is 2006! OK. Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska is a dummy. (My opinion.) We hear the Senator explains why he voted against Net Neutrality… his staff sent him an entire Internet and it took a whole day to get to his inbox! Net Neutrality, is it an issue from “the left” or “the right?” Judge Wells tosses out most of evil SCO’s anti-Linux lawsuit against IBM. Microsoft hosted Office “Live” on a Linux/Apache server! Academics “break” the Great Firewall of China! Geek Software of the Week: Ykill, which allows you to kill “bad” Windows apps! How to add Adsense advertising to a WordPress blog. FreeDOS is not dead! A free, Open Source DOS operating system approaches it’s 1.0 release! Sophos, a large security firm, recommends that because of malware home users should switch to Macs! (You could also go to Linux!) Microsoft will support the OpenDocument format after all! A guy releases a bug for the major web browsers, one per day! He is calling it “MoBB” (Month of Browser Bugs)… this kind of help we don’t need! Apple has 70% of the personal digital media market so Microsoft is preparing to release an “Ipod Killer!” The Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary now lists “google” as a verb! Cool!
