is the homepage for PointCast, a group of weenies who have
developed one of those screensavers that sucks in news off
the net while your computer "sleeps". They claim that you
no longer need to pay for generic "broadcasted" content, because
you can now receive personalized "pointcasted" information for
free.
Further, I remember this kind of thing was also on Netscape's
"to do" list. Why do companies think I *want* to suck news off
the Net when my computer sits idly? Maybe I *want* my computer
to sleep. Perchance to dream, even.
