VT College says wikipedia is not authoritative source

I ran across this because somebody decided that it belonged in the Technology News section on iwon.com, probably because it used the word 'online' or some sillyness.

Anywho, it seems that this college in Vermont has decided that Wikipedia cannot be used as an authoritative source in papers written by students. Next thing you know they'll decide that the only way to find information is in their brick and mortar library.

Teraflops? Cool!

I just saw something interesting. It seems that Intel has come up with a chip that can actually do a shade over 1 teraflop. The chip that does it runs at 3.16 ghz and only used 62 watts of power in the process.

The first thing I can't help wondering is how much this thing cost and secondly, when (if ever) will we see home desktop pc's with teraflop cpu's?

Somehow I think we shouln't be running down to Circuit City just yet.

Anna Nicole Tech?!??

I have to say right of the bat that without reservation or doubt, there has been and continues to be entirely too much press and public attention on Anna Nicole Smith, her death, the death of her son, and anything else to do with her life.

But I think somebody has gone over the edge when they put one of this never ending flood of Anna Nicole stories in the Technology News section on iwon.com

Ok, granted, that's not exactly what I'd call a "mainstream media" news outlet, but still somebody there decided that just because the headline of the AP story they scraped had the word "online" in it, that it belonged in Technology news. Sorry folks, that's assinine. It's like putting a story in the 'plumbing daily' just because it contains the word 'toilet'.

Not only is it not Technology news, It shouldn't even be news at this point. When does that woman's family get to be done with all this crap and go on with ther lives??
