After a crushing 9-8 overtime loss at Georgetown, the No. 13 Harvard men’s lacrosse team showed its resilience by defeating Presbyterian (S.C.) College, 17-2, on Friday. The Crimson (5-2) faced the Blue Hose (0-9) for the first time ever on a neutral site at George Walton High School in suburban Atlanta, but Harvard did not let any of these peculiarities prevent it from putting together a complete game. Sophomore attack Dean Gibbons scored the first of his career-high five goals nearly a minute into the game off a pass from freshman attack...
Angwin's book is a tour through MySpace's turbulent adolescence. The site's massive growth made it an easy target for hackers, privacy advocates, parent groups, competitors and (fortunately for co-founders Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolfe) investors with fat checkbooks. But with its purchase by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, MySpace has gone from freewheeling, easy-living Web start-up to establishment player. And as it reluctantly approaches maturity, MySpace has new challenges to face, securing advertisers and innovating new features chief among them.

Though Angwin makes the case that MySpace and Facebook are fundamentally different sites, the latter is currently in the ascendant - so much so that a book devoted to MySpace's origins seems almost dated. Angwin doesn't leave the reader with a clear picture of how the site will continue to grow, but this may be out of the author's control. Perhaps MySpace isn't quite sure about that either...
...filtering plan. "Every ISP that I know of has either publicly or privately said it's technically and practically impossible." The leak was further black icing on the cake. Among the list's more than 1,000 entries were URLs for child porn, rape and bestiality sites as well as online gambling (some forms of which are illegal in Australia) and gay and straight pornography. But many sites appeared to have been blacklisted almost at random. A dentist from Queensland, whose website had once been hacked into by a Russian purveyor of pornography, was on the list...
