The ThreeRing Web Mapping project adds a dot to a blank canvas showing your geographic location (or that of your ISP, as best it can guess based on your IP address). They've also got a code snippet to put on your own site that automagically adds your visitors to the map. The US is already clearly defined, Europe is getting there, and Oceania is coming into view. (They've also got one of them
Tag-Board thingies, which is painful to read for any length of time.)

Apparently wildcard DNS is a trademark violation now. Yahoo is suing the owner of the
sex.com domain, because the latter uses wildcard DNS. This means that if you type "yahoo.sex.com" (or "anything.sex.com", for that matter) in your browser, you get taken to sex.com's main site. Yahoo is suing because that it could cause the public to mistakenly believe that the sex site "is connected with, sponsored by, or approved in some way by Yahoo," and therefore constitutes trademark infringement.

Following the
earlier post regarding cheap domain names, does anyone know anything about .eu.com domains? I've found
one site offering them, but are they actually available yet? What's the story?
