p2pnet - rss feed: ‘Bye, 2003
To ring out the old year and bring in the new, Paul Boutin wrote a really interesting piece for Wired.
It’s called 101 Ways to Save the Internet. In order of (our : ) preference (and we admit we’re biased : ) they are:
Replace servers with P2P
Too many network services - domain names, Web servers, email - rely on the old client-server model, which is vulnerable to attack.
Create a P2P email program
We directly trade MP3 files, instant messages, and now phone calls without the bother of backend servers. So why not email messages?
You’ll find all 101 suggestions on Wired here. And to preserve it for future generations, we’ve also put it here.
And finally, Time Magazine chose Apple’s iTunes Music Store as one of its Coolest Inventions of the Year.
Cool? An online music store? And Invention of the Year? Sheesh !!!!
