Olympics to Have Live Online Coverage, But Not For Americans
Rytsarsky writes "According to this AP story (mirror), live video from the Olympics will be viewable online. However, 'the footage will be highly restricted to protect lucrative broadcast contracts, which are sold by territory - $793 million paid by NBC alone. Web sites must employ technology to block viewers from outside their home countries, so U.S. Web surfers won't benefit from the BBC's live coverage. They'll have to settle for highlights posted after NBC broadcasts, which are already largely tape-delayed.'" Interestingly, this AP wire story was picked up by CNN.com (it was at this URL and this URL), ran for a few hours, and now has been removed - I guess CNN didn't think it was newsworthy. *shrug*
One probably is handled by their CMS and the other URI falls resolves to something that isn't picked up by their content management system.
Uh, when are the Olympics? Where are they being held? I just recently heard they were this year. As if I cared...

Funk legend Rick James was found dead in his california apartment today. He was 56. Even if you didn't enjoy his funk hits you probably enjoyed a rap song that sampled them. Truely an American icon.
do you ever get sick of those lame attempts to make fun of bush ?
(and they are quite lame btw)
seriously, dont you have anything insightful to say, or just the equiv of "tehehe bush sucks"
why dont for one single day, you stop badmouthing bush? not because i particularly like him, but just it sounds like you blame everything in your pathetic life on him
I know that this might not be the place, actually... nevermind, this is Rick James we're talking about. More info can be found here:

It's a sad day. One of my favorite American trainwrecks of an icon just passed away.

Who on slashdot watches sport?
No more problem with doping then. They use it anyway, so LET THEM - its not as if these athletes have much in common formwise with ordinary people anyway so let them go the whole nine yards, shoot themselves full of stuff and see who mixes the best batch. And the excitement is back! Who can create the best superman - place your bets gentlemen (and nerds)!

I mean, really, who cares.
