Nessie Found on Google? Kennedy Was the First Web-Savvy Senator
Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines...
- Oh Nessie, will you ever rest in peace? When browsing Google Earth recently, one man spotted an outline that, he claims, resembles the Loch Ness Monster of the Scottish Highlands. (Or a boat with a wake behind it.) The real question is: Why hasn't Google's satellite tech located Big Foot yet? [From: Dailymail.co.uk]
- Senator Ted Kennedy, who passed away yesterday, was the first member of Congress to have a Web site. [From: SnarkMarket]
- Speaking of recently deceased icons, Visible Measures, a company that tracks online video play, has announced that 'Thriller' is now the number three most watched Internet video, with a spike in views occurring after MJ's death. [From: Mashable]
- Those who are successful multi-taskers -- who can e-mail, work, research a band, and chat with a friend -- tend to be the worst at actually getting things done, according to Stanford University researchers. Another reason to slow down and focus on one project at a time. [From: The Associated Press, via LiveScience]
- Dry-witted comic book author Harvey Pekar is collaborating with a series of artists for his upcoming Web comic "The Pekar Project." Harvey, who is a notorious luddite, is tweeting about it... or at least relaying tweets over the phone. [From: Wired.com]
- A cyber-squatting group has been fined $33 million for illegally collecting revenue via phony Verizon Web sites. While severely penalizing file-sharers or bandwidth-stealers is never good, OnlineNIC (the guilty group) is pretty hard to find pitiable. [From: TheRegister.co.uk]
