NET NEWS: Music May Only be the Beginning of Grassroots Piracy Wave, Bell Atlantic Rolling Out "Internet Kiosks", Half the Internet is Going Nowhere, Should Employees be Allowed to Surf the Web at Work?, It's Not the Webby Awards
>Music May Only be the Beginning of Grassroots Piracy Wave
Programs like Napster and Gnutella have opened the door to a new world of info piracy, and music is only the beginning: software, movies, any digitized information can be traded easily over the Internet. Surprisingly, it's the world of computer games, whose developers have dealt with organized piracy since the birth of the home computer, that may be able to show others how to keep their content valuable. http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-201-1757865-0.html CNet.com, 000515
>Bell Atlantic Rolling Out "Internet Kiosks"
Bell Atlantic is bringing its pay phones into the Internet age as it rolls out new "Internet kiosks" with computers for people to log on to the Net for 25 cents a minute. The units resemble a sit- down payphone of the type commonly found at airports, with a computer and keyboard that use touch-screen technology to begin Internet sessions. http://www.digitalmass.com/news/daily/05/15/internet_kiosks.html digitalMASS.com, 000515
>Half the Internet is Going Nowhere
In one of the most comprehensive studies of internet connections, researchers from IBM, Compaq and Altavista traced the 1.5 billion links between 200 million separate web pages. Almost half of the the Web doesn't link anywhere at all, it seems. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_749000/749413.stm News.BBC.co.uk, 000515
>Should Employees be Allowed to Surf the Web at Work?
A recent study says that more people are browsing non-work-related Web sites at the office. Is it be a punishable workplace offense, or simply a fact of life in the Info economy? http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/05/11/job.surf.idg/
>It's Not the Webby Awards
As proud companies are still sending out press releases showcasing how well they did at this year's Webby Awards, other sites are basking in the glory of being named the among the Dullest Web Sites in the World. http://www.internetnews.com/rumblings/0,1145,81,00.html InternetNews.com, 000515
