Have wondered how the Internet was 5 years ago or 10 years ago? Well, I certainly had almost forgotten the nightmares of dialing up a TCP/IP shell as late as 1997. When I joined IMT in 2000 they were upgrading the Internet service so the only connection I could lay my hands on for a few months was an 1:zillion shared ISDN line- the only thing which would half run was lynx and I used to happy if I could manage anything over 100bps and now I shout at my cable guy if the speed drops below 50Kbps (How times have changed)

Very interesting article about De Beers. They found it fit to respond to it as well. I came across this interesting post on Dansdata about diamonds and was astonished to know that rubies are actually 50 times rarer than diamonds. Anyways, I had recently posted a Wired article on superior than gem-quality artificial diamonds which are indistinguishable from natural diamonds. I am also of the belief that the benefits of diamond should be made available for everyday applications.
