I can see how Radiohead would be successful with such a thing, but I wonder what would happen if Kidz Bop used this technique of "name-your-own-price".
Because, after all, it's for the children! WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!
I don't see this as holding a lot of weight in the sense of candidates actually running. I mean, sure it can make the candidates more accessible to the everyday person, but on a larger scale it won't pull its own for Congressional elections. Redistricting really makes it harder for voters to really have a choice anyway.
There are already ads on YouTube along with promo videos for certian companies (i.e. deodorant companies, whatever crap movie is coming out). This will just further "Google-ize" YouTube into an Adsense, commercialized machine it was going to turn out to be anyway.
As long as it doesn't interupt me while I'm in the middle of a game (ANY game, even Solitare counts) and it doesn't install things that aren't game related (backdoor Windows update?), it's whatever. Not a huge deal to hear they'll be doing this.
So that roughly translates to when you criticize AT&T you are exploiting children. One of their employees has 2 kids! And you are affecting their daddy's performance and that indirectly exploits his children. You know AT&T would spin that in some insane direction.
So far there has been no comment on how a Linux user group is going to help sorority girls with their Windows machines. Hey, who knows, they might like the look of Tux the penguin. He is so much cuter than the Windows logo!
If it's just a one-time webcam thing, the people who are really desperate can have their mom or sister appear on the webcam for them. Even Grandma Nana counts as a woman!
If he really did get sensitive account information (which I highly doubt), then he should of put them all up for auction on eBay! Anyone who wanted their info safe would have to win against everyone else trying to do the same thing.
When it expires I can finally have fun again! I'll talk to the telemarketers and pitch to them my products and services. How would you like to pay to have a dog food historian on call 24/7?
Let me tell you about our great offers!
I wouldn't want to bring a book on an airplane that is too radical. Then again, if I try to please them by reading a book titled "How to be a patriotic submissive U.S. citizen" they might be even more suspicious of me...

MIGHTY MOUSE!

Well, because of e-mail, deadlines can be shifted for journalists to whatever time the editor damn pleases.
Microsoft's next move: Instead of just giving IE7 to everyone, they offer to pay people just to use it over other browsers.
I thought it said "Gyrosaurus" there for a second. Mmm...Gyrosaurus...
I bet the huge question here is: does the model R2 run on Windows or Linux?
If they have Gibson self-paying loans...

And are in the process of downloading an update via the Internet.
Most people never turn off their monitors or computers when they're not using them, so 9.4% seems accurate.
Will love this new system!
Is it still a virgin and does it still live at home with its mother?
Because we have a much better space station already in the works!
Oh, wait, no we don't...

It's a real relief that the ads won't change based on what you're thinking...
Was still disappointing. Bravo, Tom.

Well, essentially all planes are "unsafe" to some degree. Especially when the pilot has had his morning whiskey...
