The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has unveiled an open source tool designed to detect the throttling of your Internet connection. This could come in very handy for Comcast customers who want to make sure Comcast follows the order recently given to it by the FCC, to halt P2P throttling.

The Pirate Bay is one of the best-known and most popular torrent search engines on the Internet. As such, most don't associate it with oh, say, legal merchandise. Yet here it is, with a legit store - or at least part of it.

Wait, wait, is this the same Comcast that has been throttling P2P traffic of late? It is? Hmmm.

Today in a joint press release Comcast and BitTorrent announced they are now working together. Yes, I know it's hard to believe.

Nine Inch Nails has released its new album, Ghosts I-IV, online and in a somewhat Radiohead-eque way. You'll recall Radiohead released its In Rainbows album with "you" naming the price. Nine Inch Nails doesn't go quite that far, but its still the sort of experimentation more bands should be trying with digital distribution becoming more popular.
