You <i>can</i> sue Network Solutions!

At least, if they give away your domain.

No, really, according to this article on Wired News, the guy who lost sex.com to a felonious spoofer has been granted the right to sue Network Solutions, who lost him the site. All these years, NetSol has been saying that they're not responsible, but they really seem to be! Ha!
Now, maybe we can hear about something else from Wired News, besides Sex.com!!

Penguin Does Photoshop

Photoshop running on Linux?

Apparently so, according to this article on eWeek, several studios have gotten together to get Photoshop working on Linux via WINE. Normally, one wouldn't expect folks like this to get together on a project, since they're so competitive, but they did. I guess if the need is big enough, any differences can be set aside to get things done. And, isn't that the premise of the whole Open Source movement?
Anyway, it's an interesting read.
