Submission + - 8 People Buy "I Am Rich" iPhone App For $1 (latimes.com) 1

Submitted by FsG
FsG writes: In the first 24 hours that it was available, eight people bought a completely useless iPhone app for $1,000 a pop. This app does nothing except alert onlookers that you have a lot of money. Apple has, since then, yanked the application, while the inventive programmer walked away with $5,600.

Submission + - Comcast Blocks BitTorrent (torrentfreak.com)

Submitted by FsG
FsG writes: Over the past few weeks, more and more Comcast users have reported that their BitTorrent traffic is severely throttled and they are totally unable to seed. Comcast doesn't seem to discriminate between legitimate and infringing torrent traffic, and most of the BitTorrent encryption techniques in use today aren't helping. If more ISPs adopt their strategy, could this mean the end of BitTorrent?
