An experiment in weblogging by the Yantis' of Temecula.
Things we find interesting. Items including (but not limited to) Temecula, the Yantis family, literature, technology, science, computers, the Internet, horses, and teaching. Items will be added to this weblog as we find them. With luck and time there will be new things to read about every day, so check back with us frequently.

Fortune: 6.26.2000 The Hot Idea of the Year Shuttering Napster won't save anyone's bacon. Tons of music already trade free via Gnutella, and since Gnutella is a technology, not a company, it can't be sued and it can't be closed down. Even if it could be, similar services are popping up. This stuff is irrepressible....A peer-to-peer network can move faster than the Web because users search for data on countless numbers of hard drives simultaneously. The information can be much more timely, too, since it comes straight from a computer that might have been updated only a few seconds before you launched your search. And peer-to-peer services can even anticipate precisely where to find what you're looking for on the basis of your past pattern of requests, making for faster and more efficient searches and downloads.
