of weeks ago regarding Vitaly Borker, an [0]online retailer intentionally
harassing customers in order to gain linking points in Google's PageRank
algorithm. Now, not only has [1]Google altered their algorithm in order
to prevent this tactic from being effective (Though according to
Katherine Noyes at PCWorld, [2]this tactic may never actually have been
benefiting the website in the first place), Now Mr. Borker has the Feds
to deal with. He is being [3]charged with cyberstalking, wire fraud, mail
fraud, and making interstate threats, and faces up to 50 years in prison
if convicted on all counts. Given his disturbing behavior that brought
about the charges, a federal judge has ordered he be held without bail
while he awaits trial."

peace prize ceremony, but urged diplomats in Oslo to stay away from the
event warning of 'consequences' if they go. Possibly as a result of this
(or on their own decisions), 18 other countries turned down the
invitation: Pakistan, Iran, Sudan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Colombia, Tunisia,
Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Venezuela, the
Philippines, Egypt, Ukraine, Cuba and Morocco. Reuters seems to think the

CWmike writes "Samsung on Tuesday announced a [0]new 8GB dual inline

increases the density of the memory by 50% compared with conventional
DIMM technology. Samsung's new registered or buffered (RDIMM) product is
based on its current [1]Green DDR3 DRAM and 40 nanometer (nm)-sized
circuitry. The new memory module is aimed at the server and enterprise
storage markets. The three-dimensional (3D) chip stacking process is
referred to in the memory industry as [2]Through Silicon Via (TSV).
Samsung said the TSV process saves up to 40% of the power consumed by a
conventional RDIMM. Using the TSV technology will greatly improve chip
density in next-generation server systems, Samsung said, making it
attractive for high-density, high-performance systems."

set the blogosphere afire with conjecture, which announced: 'NASA will

astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of

quickly by press release. A [1]scathing article in Slate.com lists some
very prominent microbiologists who say the NASA-backed study is seriously
flawed and that the finding may be based on something as simple as poor
sample washing to remove phosphate contamination. One of the scientists,
Shelley Copley of the University of Colorado said 'This paper should not
have been published,' while another, [2]John Roth of UC-Davis says: 'I
suspect that NASA may be so desperate for a positive story that they
didn't look for any serious advice from DNA or even microbiology people,'
The experience reminded some of another press conference NASA held in
1996. Scientists unveiled a meteorite from Mars in which they said there
were microscopic fossils. A number of critics condemned the [3] report
(also published in Science) for making claims it couldn't back up."

According to his director friend Mel Smith, George Lucas has a plan for
upcoming movies more insidious than a whole Gungan cast. Smith says Lucas
is [0]buying the rights to old movies in order to put dead actors in his
films. He says, "George has been buying up the film rights to dead actors
in the hope of using computer trickery to put them all together, so you'd
have Orson Welles and Barbara Stanwyck alongside today's stars." Even if
Smith is lying, it makes you wonder who long it will be until Hollywood
starts to recycle actors as well as scripts.
