A note to readers: We're playing around a little with the format of the Tech Blog, so this will be the last day of Around the Web -- for now. Instead, you'll see more short posts referring you to other blogs' takes on interesting tech stories of the day. If you love that idea -- or hate it -- feel free to e-mail us with your concerns. You can find our contact information by clicking on our names in the panel in the right-hand side of the page titled Our Bloggers.
