Need something to do tomorrow morning? Why not trundle off to Menlo Park and attend the public liquidation auction of the once proud Be, Inc.? Maybe you can pick up one of them fancy eVilla kitchen sticky-note holders things. It might look good on the mantle, too. Heck, this could be your last change to … More

Using some sort of automated rubber glove inspection, the Open Relay Database decided to tag the Newted Community server as operating as an open email relay. What does this mean?
