* 3/02/2001 - Napster, fighting for its life against the
powerful recording industry in court Friday, told a judge
that it will block access to illegally copied songs traded

6. All Talk
We would like to take some time to thank everyone who has
signed up for the free Computer Hope newsletter and are very
happy to report that it is a great success with close to
1,000 subscribers in the first month.
http://www.2ce.com/
This week in the 'All Talk' section we will talk about the
possible next method of browsing the Internet. The new
technology called Cubiceye from 2ce allows users to browse
the Internet in a 3-D cube mode where a user can navigate
and view pages in different dimensions. While the new and
very innovative technology may sound confusing watching
the online demo's we could really see how this new method
of browsing the Internet could increase productivity and
allow a new look to the Internet. A beta signup and online
demos and information can be found on the above link.
The above items as well as other new and innovative
services can be found on our What's Hip section on our
News page at:

We would love to hear your comments, suggestions,
interests, opinions, fun web sites or what ever is on
your mind. E-mail us at newsletter@computerhope.com
