Last week, we told you about Knol, Google’s attempt at producing a Wikipedia-like online encyclopedia. There seems to be more going on in Google’s offices than the free exchange of ideas, however. According an article from insider blog WebProNews, Google is generally giving Knol articles higher page rankings than equivalent articles on other sites. Google has yet to respond to this allegation. When anything new comes around, we will certainly let you know.In other Google news, it seems as if the “Big G” is planning to kill off its Page Creator application. While current users are still able to use the service, new users are being directed to its sister site, Google Pages. Google is expected to move all Page Creator content to Google Pages later in the year. Expect to see more on this story, especially when the switch over finally happens.

In Hollywood, many film producers are experimenting with the “reboot” – restarting a popular series, such as James Bond and Star Trek, from the beginning. Well, a firm called BBN Technologies, Inc wants to do that very thing to the Internet. Called the GENI Network, the project would build a new, Internet-like system from the ground up. Thus far, BBN has received over $12 million in initial grants from the National Science Foundation, as well as a 30 Gigabyte per second of bandwidth to run tests on. If Congress approves the $350 million price tag, we might be seeing a functional GENI Network within five years.

If you share files using peer-to-peer networks and also subscribe to AT&T’s wireless broadband service, you might be running into some trouble. According to a document filed by AT&T to the FCC, users of P2P networking are violating their terms of service contract. They say that peer to peer programs use a steady bandwidth rather than small bursts of high bandwidth, making a worse internet experience for everyone involved. So far, AT&T has yet to shut off service to people using these programs to download and share files. Neither AT&T nor the FCC have commented publicly on the matter.

Joss Whedon, the creator of such television programs as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly is spending his summer experimenting with the Free Line. Whedon has been streaming his “musical tragicomedy” Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog free on iTunes since July. The series, which stars Neil Patrick Harris as an aspiring supervillain, will also be available on the Hulu network for a limited run.

It seems as if Joss Whedon fans aren’t the only ones going to the Internet to get their television fix. According to a new poll by Media Measurements Incorporated, about 20% all television veiwing in America happens online. Those who watch their favorite television shows online also seem to be more “in touch” with the content presented. And the kicker? Most of these programs are coming from free streams provided by television networks. Just further proof that the Free Line works… even when your watching television.
