ESPN Soccernet has an article up about a new $1 million exception the MLS is likely to approve. This exception would give each team the ability to sign a high-profile, foreign-basesd player. It’s called the “David Beckham Exception,” although $1 million would not be enough to land Beckham today. I enjoyed the article not only for its depth, but its analysis of the league’s future and development into a money-maker from its roots and current status as a money-loser. Read the article here.

Gmail now features automatic virus scanning of file attachments. Unlike Yahoo Mail’s virus scanner, Gmail’s scanner does not appear to be powered by a third party such as Norton or McAfee. Apparently, Google has developed this virus scanner internally.
It begs the question: Will Google release its own branded desktop virus scanner? It could integrate with Google Desktop Search. Google Sidebar could inform you of the status of your system scan. You could search Google’s virus encyclopedia. (I find both Norton’s and McAfee’s to be lacking.)
Look for it.
