Interesting that no one has "officially" picked up on Verisign's latest alleged shenanigans yet. Of course, the rumor could turn out to be false, but some of the statements check out against other scuttlebutt that I've come across before. This wouldn't confirm the charges, but it does (in the absence of a denial) lend some minimal "authority" to the claims...

I was quite surprised to see how much home broadband routers have dropped in price over the last few months. I purchased a SMC Barricade a few months back for roughly $250 CAD and now they've dropped in price to as little as $100. I was able to find a buyer for my used one for roughly the same amount which allowed me to get into wireless at home for roughly no cost (thanks eBay), but it looks like the technology is going to start finding its way into the home in a big way.

Congress is preparing to consider a proposal that would authorize copyright holders to disable PCs used for illicit file trading--a step critics say amounts to vigilante justice. [CNET News.com]...
I suppose that this would only be fair. Considering that the Internet has been hacking on Hollywood content for years ;)

. A last-minute shopping spree as IT buyers scrape out their budgets will push computer technology spending beyond 2001 levels, predicts research firm IDC. [CNET News.com]...
Gotta love stories like these. Remember, 2001 was a hang-over year IT spending-wise (that pesky little Y2K rumor), which puts 2001 pretty close to the bottom of the barrel. Typical of IT reporting though, the cart has to pull the horse before anyone makes a move. <sigh>
