Geekipedia.

A supplement to Wired magazine. Geekipedia is a must-read for those of us who are on the outskirts of Geek/technology. By that I mean, we have a computer, we use the internet, but we aren't really that aware of all the people, places, trends and ideas that are floating around in the Geek-world. And there are plenty.
Most of the stuff we've all heard of but may not know many details about. I've heard of Nick Denton but didn't realize all the sites he was responsible for. He's runs a blogger empire even bigger than Toronto Mike!
I had however not heard of Dark Matter, DRM's or Darknet.(Check out all the D's.)
I found this entry on internet Radio particularly interesting.
The Net lets even the smallest broadcaster stream audio to listeners anywhere on earth — hence, the flowering of garage DJs, global megastations, and next-gen music outlets like Pandora and Last.fm. But Internet radio also runs squarely into one of the most barnacle-encrusted bastions of old media: copyright law. The latest point of contention: Should webcasters — like their antenna-wielding cousins — be required to pay song-by-song, listener-by-listener royalties in every country they reach? In the US, fees are set by the federal Copyright Royalty Board. Earlier this year, the three-judge panel helpfully tripled the rates, setting off protests and legal battles. Internet radio may not use transmitters, but it still causes static.
