Fuck.
En effectuant une demande de disponibilité du domaine "fuck.com" sur le site de Network Solutions, vous n'obtiendrez pas la traditionnelle page expliquant que le nom est déjà pris, et vous incitant à déposer des noms approchants. A la place, vous constaterez une phrase sibylline, rédigée en rouge et expliquant que "le nom demandé n'a pas été accepté car il était inapproprié". Inapproprié ? Comprenez interdit, banni, tabou, censuré. Car ce qui a longtemps été l'organisme monopolistique de gestion des noms de domaines a sa propre acception du "Web politiquement correct". Et le "mot à 4 lettres" n'en fait pas partie. dotboutique.com

The database, available at RepCheck.com, was unveiled last week as the high-tech way to learn about the social and business reputations of people worldwide. NY Times
Cartoon Captures Spirit of the Internet
By now, it's almost an old saying: "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog." You can count on seeing it at the start of plenty of articles on Internet privacy and anonymity. The sentence, which originated as a caption to a New Yorker cartoon, has slipped into the public consciousness, leaving its source behind. NYTimes
