Is YouTube Becoming PrudeTube?
In the early days of YouTube, one could find scads of commercial pornography, plenty of amateur pole-dancing and scatological material out the wazoo, but as the world's top user-generated video Web site chases down more revenue, it has also cracked down on the kind of mature content that might make advertising executives a tad nervous.

When it comes to setting up your Web presence, entrepreneurs are surprisingly lax. Depending on who you talk to, about half of small businesses do not have a Web site. Most of those will tell you that it's just too complicated, time-consuming and expensive a job to take on.

Apple's iPod Problem
Chris Wysopal is the head of a four-iPod family. His wife and two kids all carry the pint-size nano music player from Apple, while he uses a 2003-vintage device he got as a hand-me-down from his wife. But as much they love their iPods, the Wysopal family has no plans to buy any new ones in the foreseeable future.

In Hungry Times, Apple Must Avoid Eating Its Partners' Lunch
Apple loves it when its channel partners sell lots of Apple products. Everyone makes money.

Apple has always had an uneven relationship with its channel partners, in my experience.

If any Mac-focused bugs have popped up, though, none have turned into marauding swarms of locusts. However, recent reports about an official support document found on Apple's Web site have reignited the Mac security issue.

One Woman's Story as Told by Shuffle Mode
If someone were to ask me what the movie soundtrack for my life would be, I'd have absolutely no idea what I could tell them. I'd probably stutter for a couple minutes trying to think of the songs that summed me up better than any other. When I discovered I couldn't come up with anything, I would probably hand over my iPod and tell them to see for themselves.

A group of amateur developers has ported the Linux operating system to Apple's iPhone and iPod touch devices. Members of the iPhone Linux development team revealed in a blog posting that they had installed a working version of the Linux kernel on the handsets.

Solar car completes 1st ever round-the-world trip
(AP) -- If a solar-powered car can drive 32,000 miles (52,000 kilometers) around the globe without using a drop of oil, perhaps it can be forgiven for not having a coffee cup holder. Or maybe that makes Swiss adventurer Louis Palmer's journey even more remarkable.
