Web Thinkers Warn of Culture Clash
Passacaglia writes "The Washington Post is carrying an article describing some stimulating discussion from the Internet Society meeting this week, including comments from Vinton Cerf, Eric Schmidt, about the clash between freedom and commercial interests."
If you were watching Two Fat Ladys you could create copious cupsful of cum.
If you're modding this comment down, I hope it's not for grammar, because "cupsful" is in fact the plural of cupful. One cup, two cups. One cupful, two cupsful. Strange language, this English.
"Web Thinkers"? I think not. These chumps are just people who could afford to go to some conference.
I've heard "big business is taking over the web" since the day I first installed Mosaic. It wasn't true then and it isn't true now.
Most big business, as everyone here who's worked for one or contracted for one knows, can't even UNDERSTAND the web let alone take the thing over. Sure, there's some big companies making some plays, but the web is wise to that stuff.
Sorry, just don't buy this kid of FUD.
And "we have to have more bandwidth" is hardly a comment worthy of someone billed as a "web thinker". Of course we all need more bandwidth. We also all need to eat healthy and take excercise. There's "health thinker" conferences for people who say these things as if they are new ideas, too!
Not trolling, just stating the blinding obvious!
