.xxx domains are set to be opened up in the coming weeks -- serving as the first "porn" domain, allowing users to directly access pornography or the complete opposite, should they see such a domain.

But amid some controversy and lawsuits, with major porn players suing ICANN, the Internet domain name registrar is set to open up the .xxx floodgates soon nonetheless.

But some are worried that cybersquatters and others will attempt to jump on websites -- including school and university domain names -- to make a quick buck, or benefit from them with misdirected content.

So, head over to CNET and discover how to protect your company or business' brand from cybersquatters.

These are not "techy" things... half of them are Apple iThing related and the other half is about social sites (Facebook, Google Music, etc).

Techy things would be things like tweak Windows for performance, upgrade RAM/HDD, install Linux, root your phone and things like that...

  @lepoete73 - agreed. The blurring of lines. It's like voting to put pop singers into the rock and roll hall of fame.
  
  The iStuff and social stuff is "geek chic" at best...

Upgrade music libraries? Then switch to Zune. No need to upload music; for $10 a month, you have access to over 12 million songs. That's an UPgrade.
