Fraternity houses are not know for being eco-conscious.  Most fraternities are known for their partying and campus irreverence than for any sort of environmental conscience.  Fraternity houses are better known for piles of empty pizza boxes and beer cans than ecological tidiness.

MySpace is set to launch its brand new email service to the 68 million people in the U.S., making it the second largest email provider in the country. However, that doesn’t mean that those people want MySpace Mail.

What was the world like before the Internet? That may seem a stupid question easily answered, but at times I find it hard to remember quite what we all did and how we all coped before the Web was born. Now, the Internet permeates every aspect of life, is a truly global phenomenon, is bigger than you can imagine, and is growing all the time both in terms of content and reach.

It isn’t surprising that of the 18,578 people from 19 countries that were surveyed, United States citizens were among the least likely to want climate change legislation or regulation.  Denial at its finest.

Remember when virtual worlds were in the press what seemed like every day? Well, that day has long since passed, but it appears that has had absolutely no impact on their ability to continue to recruit new members.

\0 might look like a particularly obscure emoticon or “smiley”. But it’s actually the key to exploiting a newly-discovered flaw in the technology behind secure Web sites.

Information about the security of presidential motorcades and the location of the first family’s safe house were leaked via a peer-to-peer network Limewire in recent days. Who knew Limewire was still around?

What is Twitter? Is it a social network? Is it a micro-blogging tool? Is it a breeding ground for breaking news stories? It’s actually all three, but Twitter recently unveiled its new homepage which focuses on one of the three.

After years of speculation and rumor, Microsoft and Yahoo have finally reached a deal to pool the collective resources of the companies, but it isn’t the deal we had expected. Back in late 2007 rumors began circulating that Microsoft was attempting to buy Yahoo, which would allow the two entities to combine their search engines in the hopes of catching up with Google.  However, much to just about every analyst and board member’s amazement, Yahoo rejected the offer.  This led to major shake-ups in the management at the former search engine giant, and led to everyone scratching their collective heads as to what the two companies would do without one another. Rumors continued to circulate that some sort of deal was still on the table, but it was beginning to look more and more like Yahoo would give over its search portal to Microsoft, and that Yahoo would be the sales force behind selling ads on both portals.  This was indeed the final shape that the deal took as it was announced this morning, and thus brought an end to the age of Yahoo as a search engine company. While analysts all over the Web are still trying to decide just how good of a deal this is, one thing is clear in that Yahoo’s fortunes are now completely out of its own hands.  Carol Bartz, CEO of Yahoo, stated in a blog post on the deal:

Following criminal convictions for its founders, the Pirate Bay site is now facing civil action to curb its activities. This comes as a key figure in the firm planning to take over the site quit, claiming the numbers don’t add up.
