Not wishing to be told I piss and moan too much about problems in the tech world, every Thursday from now on I will do something positive. In what I officially call Thankful Thursday, I’ll post about some positive events that have happened in the computer world that week. They may be as simple as a spammer being put in jail, or possibly include a new product release. If it makes a positive impact on the world, chances are good you might see it here.

This week’s Thankful Thursday news is:

ICANN plans to end domain tasting. Domain tasting is used by spammers to register millions of domains. After analyzing them for traffic, they keep the ones that are profitable and drop the ones that aren’t. Because ICANN has a 5-day grace period in which a domain can be dropped for a full refund, these guys get to do this for free.

New MacBook Pros may be coming. Any Mac user would agree this is good news.

Top 10 BitTorrent Tools and Tricks. Good for us, bad for the music and movie industries.

Asus is planning a $500 “iMac killer”. Anything that makes computing easier and more affordable is a good thing. The all-in-one computer will feature a display between 19-21 inches as well as a TV tuner.

Scientists find way to reverse memory loss. Hopefully the FDA won’t forget about it.

Check back next Thursday for Thankful Thursday #2.
