In the last few days a collection of opinion articles have circulated on the ‘Net, their message summed up as follows: an IP address isn’t enough “evidence” to sue someone for downloading copyrighted material,” for example. This overemphasizes recent happenings in court and also gives a false impression of what’s really going on. Time for a quick trip to the fact-checking department. More (offsite link)…

Recently I sold out and created an annoying MySpace page just so I am not left out of that ridiculous craze. I typically don’t mind being left out, but I get bored sometimes. Although I don’t need to have my self-worth validated by how many friends I have on MySpace, it does make me feel like a loser to only have four. I mean, look at some of these horrible displays of web design that MySpace propagates. But as awful and as laughable as these profiles are, the users still have over 100 friends (sometimes even 1000s). I suppose my page just isn’t annoying enough yet. Next up, sparkles? I don’t think I have it in me. Besides, I have sold out enough for one week, I have a blogsite. Isn’t that enough?!

The original version of this (by Ryan Duff) can be found here. A modified version to have the thumbnail functionality of Keitai Mail with a few other little tweaks can be found here. A friend of mine has further patched it up for me because it was letting the footer images through (even though it isn’t supposed too). This revision has only been tested on T-Mobile carrier.
