A Slashdot article highlights netcraft’s data of a 2.76 million worth of domain name registrations for the month of june…

Talk about wetting our apetites for Episode 3 as well as fill in the gaps between episode 2 and 3. It’s basically old formula already, as the Wachowski brothers already did this with the Animatrix for the Matrix Series.
