I had around 100 spam comments, like Stefano, two days ago which I had to connect to my SQL Server and delete them all using Query since they were too much and clicking delete, reassuring that I am sure and the clicking continue would have taken me some hours! One solution is as he said, implementing CAPTCHA images, there was an open source project on Code Project for that purpose which can be used, and the other way is just closing comments! But as Stefano has said, if Scott Watermasysk got the time, it would be good implementing one so we at least don't close our comments.

The Google Desktop Search seems to be doing very poorly so far in the public. Major news sources like CNN are now attacking it for its lack of privacy. It seems to me that the "Google does everything right" attitude is starting to fade away with this release. Personally, I never got caught up in the Google aura, but it looks like now that Google isn't the latest and greatest innovation anymore, people are more open to express their discontent.

BBC: "The Iranian journalists' union has held a meeting to protest at the arrests of eight webloggers and reformist newspaper journalists in recent months. A lawyer for three of the arrested men said he had no idea where they were being detained and what they were being charged with. But he had been told he could meet his clients for the first time on Saturday. The meeting began with the reading of a letter asking Iran's spiritual leader to look into the judiciary's behaviour. It said that not only were reformist newspapers being closed down and journalists arrested, but now those working in the electronic media on internet sites were also being targeted. Speakers said a new generation of Iranian journalists was in danger. Most of the webloggers are in their early 20s."
