Verisign Recommended to Keep .com & .net

An Anonymous SAIC Employee writes "The 'independent' company hired by ICANN to advise them on who should run the .com and .net registry has recommended that Verisign (fact sheet) should be chosen to continue to run the registry. Is it any surprise? Telcordia was owned by SAIC (Fact Sheet) during the time the study was conducted. SAIC bought Telcordia (fact sheet) (then Bellcore) in Nov. 1997 and sold it March 15, 2005. Network Solutions was bought by SAIC in 1995 and sold in 2000. Also, Telcordia worked with Verisign on the ENUM project. Is the fox guarding the hen house?"

Macworld is reporting that the Journal of Consumer Research came across a study drawing a parallel between consumerism and religion.

The team looked at several brands, including those form the automobile industry, sci-fi TV series and Macs. "All of these brand communities have been demonstrated to be capable of producing transformative experiences in their consumers and all have traces of magic, religion or the supernatural," sez Macworld.

Not that hard to swallow considering the fervor and zealotry behind people's choice of sugared water.

Note to moderator. This can't be redundant, but it is insightful.

Perhaps you should quit your job at Verisign.
