A couple of interesting bits in the tech news: Road to Nowhere DSL Growth Running on Empty talks about the stagnation in growth of the DSL market, not good news for those of us with no cable modem access who are hoping that their providers stay in business (my provider, Covad, is currently in chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, an uneasy situation for me at best, though there is cause for optimism in the latest report that says Covad Files Plan of Reorganization). Meanwhile, Chorus of Gator critics grows describes the public criticism of software company Gator "for tampering with the already troubled online ad market." I just want to ask the folks from Gator two questions: One, if you put all of our websites out of business with your product, are you going to produce some content of your own to replace it? Two, could you please kindly jump off the nearest bridge? Thanks, it would be appreciated.
