If you remember our article from a few months back about Google taking the last decade to build, link and prepare to offer infrastructure services to the world’s ISPs, then this comes as no surprise: Google has entered into a 6-company consortium to build their own trans-pacific cable between the US and Japan.

21. February 2008
A long time reader just sent in a fantastic link over to Scott Adams blog (creator of Dilbert) where he asked his readers to submit portions of a song with lyrics that were nonsensical but almost made sense, which seems to be the case with most pop-songs.
