Verisign breaks the Internet

This news is a few days old but still important. Verisign, which owns Network Solutions, has added a wildcard record to the .COM and .NET top level domain DNS zones. What this means is that fighting spam is harder, e-mail address resolution is harder and Web domain typos give Verisign free advertising. This stinks, right?
