I received some shocking news today. Vishal has purchased something online for the first time ever! I'm still recovering from the shock! He went to the always reliable Amazon and purchased Norton AntiVirus & Personal Firewall 2003 - an excellent choice if I do say so myself!
Whilst I'm on the subject of buying things online, I recently bought Believe, the debut album from 4 Strings. It was a U.S. only release, so I had to order it from Amazon over there. It will take a while to get here, of course, but I don't mind - it's better than paying for an overpriced import copy (and cheaper, too).
After months of offering its excellent anti-spam product for free, Cloudmark have decided to start charging for SpamNet, and whilst I can understand their reasons for doing so, I think it's a very silly move indeed. Only time will tell if the product remains as popular as it was before they started charging for it.
To finish off today's post, and staying on the subject of spam, have you ever wondered where all this spam comes from? Well, this article from BBC News is very interesting indeed, even if it told me what I knew already - e-mail addresses posted on websites or in newsgroups attract the most spam.
