Major League Baseball Releases Webcasting Plans

Posted by chrisd on from the bring-back-the-mbone dept.

TopShelf writes "With spring in the air, it's time to discuss the (US) national pastime. According to this story at CNN, Major League Baseball is planning to webcast 1,000 games this season. The interesting part is that in order not to violate TV blackout rules, they'll try to deny service to viewers who instead have local broadcasts available, using Quova's user-location service. At last, an opportunity to see my hometown Detroit Tigers more than once a year!"

    I never payed any attention to baseball when I was a kid. Football (American football) was everything. Then, in college I was with people watching the World Series, and I kinda liked it. That little seed sorta stayed there for a while, and blossomed when the Baltimore Orioles (the closest thing Washington has to a team) started doing really well in 1994. Guess what happened? Yep. Strike. No World Series. Would Baltimore have hung on and played in it? I'll never know. I don't care. Baseball wooed me, and then refused to consumate the relationship. So long, baseball.

    For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?

  8. Letter of Thanks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Dear Father O'Day,

    Thank you for your heartwarming letter of support! We have worked hard to establish our marketshare in the gay computer sector, and it's letters like yours that make all our effort and rectal soreness worthwhile.

    You will doubtless be pleased to hear that we are partnering with Redhat to make Linux the default operating system of future Apple Macintosh computers; this will put us in a position to dominate all homosexual aspects of the computing experience.

    Please continue to enjoy our products, and keep an eye out for future Macintoshes with the Linux preinstallation option. Remember, young boys are especially fond of Linux!

    Sincerely,
    Steven Jobs
