Sly Romances
For Some Married People, Internet Dating Has Draw
The Internet has changed the way people date by making it easier to find potential mates with similar interests and backgrounds. But it has also changed the way married people strike up affairs. No need to slyly slide off the wedding ring: A computer and an Internet connection make it easy to discretely find new romance, and to keep any straying secret. E-mailing a love interest -- whether met online or in the real world -- means no need for hushed phone conversations or suspicious long-distance bills. As a result, the affair often comes as a complete shock. (WSJ)

File-sharing dilemma for broadband firms
Fast net providers find themselves with a tricky dilemma as file-swapping becomes one of the most popular broadband activities. But sharing material that is copyrighted is illegal and file-swapping is causing a huge drain on the bandwidth, and consequently the pockets of service providers. Networks are being swamped with file-sharing traffic and the amount of bandwidth they use is causing serious headaches for providers. (BBC) |
