Australian Man May Have Sent 2 Billion Viagra Spam E-Mails

An Australian man is under investigation for sending more than 2 billion junk e-mails in one year to promote Viagra, an official said Wednesday. The Australian Communications and Media Authority began investigating the man, whose identity was not immediately released, after receiving a tip from Dutch authorities last year.

Thanks to NoNags for this illumination.

Craigslist Search

For some reason, Craig-o doesn’t like this sort of thing, so grab it-use it-love it before it gets shut down.

Global Craigslist Search Engine

You can search for terms in different catagories; jobs, for sale, lonely geek seeking lonely geek (OK, I made that one up.) with specific search words. Now tell me Craig, what’s so bad about that?

Favorite Freeware – Audiograbber

Hot! This is one of the best free downloads I’ve found in years. It’s made life with Windows and mp3s – and that sweet Chinese iPod knock-off – a breeze. Now I can listen to my favorite Indie artists just as if they were actually available for purchase somewhere online. (!)

Let’s allow the developer Jackie Franck a few words:

Audiograbber is a beautiful piece of software that grabs digital audio from CDs. It copies the audio digitally-not through the soundcard-which enables you to make perfect copies of the originals. It can even perform a test to see that the copies really are perfect. Audiograbber can also automatically normalize the music, delete silence from the start and/or end of tracks, and send them to a variety or external MP3 encoders… Audiograbber can download and upload disc info from freedb, an Internet compact disc database. You can even record your vinyl LPs or cassette tapes with Audiograbber and make wavs or MP3s of them. There are a lot more functions in Audiograbber, but to put it simply: Audiograbber has the most features one can wish from such a program!

Another great thing with this software is that it does not put a single file in your windows directories! No DLLs, OCXs, device drivers, spyware, adware or whatever else that messes up the computer. Not a single entry in the registry or win.ini. If you delete the Audiograbber directory it’s all gone, that’s it!

Zeldman’s Taste of Ass aka Web 3.0

Jeffrey Zeldman’s “A List Apart” is a very pointed, opinionated and often hilarious look at what makes up this whole sphere we’re living in … whatever name it’s going by at the moment.

His article “Web 3.0” offers an entertaining and informative poke in the guts of Web 2.0 and what it is. With headers like “A Taste of Ass” and quotes like “Web 1.0 was not disruptive. You understand? Web 2.0 is totally disruptive. You know what XML is? You’ve heard about well-formedness? Okay. So anyway—” you know this is not going to be the Wall Street Journal’s view.

Enjoy!
