    I dunno, I'm not feeling you not feeling the article mentioned; I can see that you did not read it. But then again, I'm not feeling the OPs reference' logic: babe! tv did not kill radio, it thrived addressing a different purpose.

    However, tv-then could not change its stripes. G+ can, and will do it more so over time: 3rd party APIs, apps, concision apps---ya know, twitter like shiz---and fill-in-the-blank approaches heretofore undreamed.

    If I had to wager, as Twitter founders did in rejecting Google's high takeover bid a couple years ago going it solo, my money I'd pass on twitter stock.

    Why give them your secret sauce? Hey, you don't have to. But if you are spending billions, upon billions, into trillions of their dollars on their wares they have a aright to say: Don't think you are going to roll in and colonize me. Since I'm paying I am going to see what's in the kitchen, learn to cook, cook with you, and hire my people to cook under your tutelage. Don't like it? Step aside, my next appointment is here.

    How do they intend to compete with their new students? They intend to take their present leads and spend faster, create brighter, grow bigger, and toil, toil, toil. VW, and GE will tell you so.

    The Bill of Rights and the SCOTUS would beg to differ. I would hazard the guess that you are under 29 and haven't heard this "privilege" phrase before. You also have no constitutional right to privacy, did you not know that too?

  10. Curses! You Dirty Rat! on Can a Monkey Get a Copyright & Issue a Takedown? · · Score: 1

    To GP:

    You are thinking of a 'transformative act' on a work, public domain or not. Scilicet, operating on said work and poof! voila! it is copyrighted again. Yes it can happen, but it is tough work. Case in point.

    Charade (1963 film), featuring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn fell out of copyright into the public domain do to lack of copyright notice requirements in the film prints---that is why most times you catch on TV it is a gadawful grainy, dusty, out-of-focus subpar mess. They're using reused-abused prints and not preserved-protected prints.

    However, The Criterion Collection has taken the time, effort and expense to take one of those prints and restore, improve Charade to a mint film---that is copyrighted---again.

    > It wasn't him.

    Bullshit. I live in NYC, and several weeks ago on another idiotic point of Weiner I wrote him off as an idiot. Period. UBL's dead, so give the (taxpayers') reward money to the "victims" of the Twin Towers. Enough. When you get hit by a bus the US does not give your kin and kilth free money, even if they're desperate for it. That's what savings and insurance are for. We all die eventually. T. McVeigh's Oklahoma victims did not get any money! Enough coddling.

    To your point. Innocent persons in these circumstances walk, whilst a _guiltless_ politician _RUNS_ to the police to report harm. Harm to their personal reputation, their family's reputation, their political party's reputation, their institution's reputation, their professional reputation. Righteously, one, anyone will even report this as societal harm. You might say it's overly noble, but Weiner's supposedly a fighter, pugnacious, right?

    He's guilty of this sin. He just does not want to get burned when an official investigation pries into his dark life---whilst placed under oath.

    Michelle Martin on Nipper, ya know, en pi ar, oh yeah, NPR, had a great, sophisticated, lucid view on supporting a cause or not. Paraphrasing:

    >>>>>
    I hate it when people offer as an argument for support that they like what we do, or our cause! As if you didn't like it therefore it, we must be bad. Only supporting that which you like and doesn't challenge leads to very boring thing, product. Most of what we learned, made us, makes us valuable, thoughtful, metropolitan, sophisticated, well versed, comes from unknown ideas and concepts. Hu! Now. How about that? Can you get with that?
