Published: Friday, September 13, 2002 | By: DennisEdwin "Buzz" Aldrin is accused of punching a guy, Bart Sibrel, for being annoying and down right rude (for the sake of his movie).

Published: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 | By: Dennis"Chinese Internet users trying to access the blocked search engine Google are now being routed to an array of similar sites in China, apparently at the behest of the government, in what may be the latest sign of an escalating media clampdown ahead of November's Communist Party congress."

""They're not acting as administrators. They're acting as hackers," he said. "They're impersonating authority that they don't in fact actually have.""

Apple Preps for OSX only Booting
Published: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 | By: DennisI'm not sure what this means but the figures are what really gets me.
"Apple reckons that 20 per cent of its entire user base will be using Mac OS X by the end of the year, "making it the fastest operating system transition in recent history". Mac OS X has been the default factory-setting OS on all Macs since January 2002, according to Apple, which estimates that 75 per cent of buyers have elected to retain it as their OS.
So that means 25 per cent have actually been bothered to switch. Which sounds fairly substantial to us."
Here is where you do some match and wonder how many people could get pissed off, oh wait these are mac users.. ummm nevermind
