Here’s the current status on Google vs Church of Scientology.

Microcontent news has news about blogs, zines, and the all the “personal publishing” sector. Pretty interesting news, from what I’ve seen so far.

The original Google paper.

IP Telephony in India. At last.

Powerful thoughts against digitization. And since these days I need an excuse to justify the amount of paper I’m using, this article helps ease my conscience.
