Old Atari games play on Sony Ericsson phones
Mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson on Thursday announced partnerships
with two companies making games for mobile phones in its drive to
challenge handset market leader Nokia through mobile entertainment.
The newly formed handset maker, Sony Ericsson, said partnerships with
iFone and Synergenix would enable consumers to download some games for
free from the Sony Ericsson Web site, or access others for a fee from
an operator's Web site. IFone will be providing games from its Atari
catalogue, including classics such as Asteroids and Pong. --Reuters

zdnet.com.com is not
infact ZDnet, but a very clever site pretending to be
ZDnet. The purpose of the site is seems to be to propagate memes the
authors agree with.
Click on Page One, you go to http://zdnet.com.com/2001-11-0.html
(http://zdnet.net.net redirects to http://www.zdnet.com/) which has
"Open-source flaw threatens MS code" and other items that wouldn't normaly
show up on an corporate-ass-licking site like ZDnet.

I dunno, it sure looks like it's really cnet to me -- see below...
What makes you say that? Sure looks like the real thing to me. You can get

dotcom-dotcom... is that like "pizza-pizza"? Or is it more like the
old NYC joke (paraphrased) "the internet fad so nice, they named it
twice"?
