I've seen a disturbing trend of people getting added to spam databases when someone was spoofing their IP... This recently happened to a friend of mine because their (PacBell mail server!) IP was added to an open-relay list...
Are the maintainers of these databases going to have to start doing more homework on these IPs before they ban them, or are we going to see more and more collateral damage due to unethical spammers?
The problem is that these guys (spammers) keep upping the ante!
Just finished a read that covered the beginnings of the console wars pretty well called The Ultimate History of Video Games, while it's not quite as complete as the title would have you believe, and it's not the easiest read in the world, it's still has a lot of information about how the economy and people who purchase video games drive the market.
It will be very interesting to see how the competition pans out over the years... Microsoft and Sony make quite an assumption that gamers are really looking for the "Total-Multimedia-Experience" and "Network Gaming". Personally, I'd just like to see innovation replace the same old styles of games being re-released with a facelift every year...

Apparently all the non-google engines are on vacation ;)
You mean there are other search engines?!
