AT&T Not Staying Net Neutral?

Yet another reason to stay away from AT&T, or switch if you are a current customer. Lack of net neutrality is the worst thing that can happen to the internet and we as consumers should not give our money to businesses that practice such things. Just my opinion, of course.

Pownce: Yet Another Social Network?

Not really sure why or how anyone thinks it's a good idea to start up yet another social network, but they are constantly popping up. and well, people are constantly swarming to new ones as the others become old. So maybe it's not that bad of an idea. :)

Kevin Rose is actually on the team behind bringing us pownce, so I'll probably at least give it a try and see what it has to offer that the others do not. Kevin Rose is [most recently] of Digg fame.

Pownce is in it's invite only stage right now until they get everything up and running, you can give them your e-mail address to be put on their waiting list if you would like.

AT&T $10 DSL

AT&T is required to offer $10 DSL to people that do not already have their DSL service. This deal sprung up when Bellsouth and AT&T merged. The only problem is, AT&T will do their best not to let you know about this service and will give you the runaround if you try to sign up for it as described in this article: AT&T Gives Cunsumers the Runaround Over Secret $10 DSL. The service requires a one year contract and comes with a free modem. The Speeds aren't really that great at 768kb/s down and 128kb/s up, but i suppose good for a bugdet.

The Pirate Bay Video Sharing Site

The Pirate Bay, one of the largest sites for the sharing of torrents, has announced that it will be opening up it's own video streaming site. It's speculated to be much like youtube except, well, people will be able to post whatever they want because the MPAA and RIAA have yet to be able to touch The Pirate Bay. The site will be at www.thevideobay.org when it is up.

StumbleUpon

StumbleUpon is not new, but i just wanted to share it with people that do not know what it is. This is a neat little Firefox extension that makes the internet somewhat "surfable." you can flip through websites just like channel surfing. it's really useful for finding new websites that you might not know about or that you might not have thought about looking for.
