P2P for Education, or whatever legit use
The report from Internet2 P2P work group clearly shows that there is a trend in the academia to make use of P2P for legit applications. For example, P2P for education, or P2P for copyright/digital rights management. As an example, LionShare is legitimate p2p file sharing tool developed by PSU.
Question: Can P2P go beyond file sharing? Or what about the next generation of P2P applications that are legitimate, well-contained, and secure? Following the trent of IM, can P2P go to enterprise?

Microsoft to buy Google?
It has been reported that google just turned down an offer from Microsoft. Obviously Microsoft has a strong intention to 'merge' with google, but google does not like the idea.
Meanwhile, Microsoft is also developing its own search engine, which they hope could beat google at some point. Looks like another story of Netscape and IE is going to happen? Well, no. Google is an online advertisement business. It has a business model, and a huge number of users. Unless Microsoft comes up with a better search engine, Google will not be renamed to "Microsoft Google" in the near future.
