Taking it one step further, the HD-DVD coalition is responsible for HD-DVDs. A few of these HD-DVDs contain the movie Apollo 13, which as you may have guessed it, stars Kevin Bacon.
Slashdot, where news is relevant... but let's just pretend this is a slashback. Does anyone know what happened to this plan? It seems like it makes a lot of sense for ticketmaster.
1. cut-out middle-man (e-bay) 2. take a percentage of a premium for tickets 3. profit
no ??? needed
It's as simple as supply and demand... the basis of our whole economy. It's a function of a free market and with the internet as a huge enabler, I wouldn't be surprised to see more goods and services sold this way. Just look at how popular sites like ebay, ubid, etc. are. This move attempts to cut out the middle-man and allows ticketmaster (along with the event operators) to reap in even more profits. The only person who gets screwed is the average consumer who can't justify paying increasingly expensive ticket prices. Ticketmaster has nothing to lose by doing this, and only a lot more profit to gain. It's a brilliant business move and one of the side effects of capitalism.
It's good to see VoIP starting to take off... cell phones are starting to come WiFi enabled and our wireless network transfer rates keep getting faster and able to travel longer distances. Soon (within the next 10 years or so) we won't have to pay the exhorborant fees we are currently paying to these wireless carriers (Verizon, Sprint, Cingular, T-Mobile, etc) for X amount of minutes a month. It will be interesting to see what will happen once this technology becomes popular and everyone begins making calls over the internet. I for one can't wait to do my part by helping to slashdot something with my cell phone.
Images that are flashed with such a short delay make it difficult to process images that are sideways.
Or maybe I'm just slow, but in any case the lesson I learned from this experiment is don't play with knives.
What would happen if there were a series of emotional images being presented? Would you still be "blind" to certain ones, only picking up on the ones that caused more emotion within you? Or would you see them all because they elicited some sort of an emotional response out of you?

If they can't sell any PCs in China they'll definitely need that US market ... http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/200 6/06/03/2003311446

But did it happened?
Actually that's not necessarily true... I have this one itch that not even my doctor can take care of... damn hookers.
I for one welcome our new Google overlords...

Two options are available. You can either stop going on the internet or just enjoy the porn.

no, that's why your friends don't want to hang out at your house.
Me too... and now this research gives me justification to seek punitive damages against your mom

I didn't think penguins were too fond of the heat supplied by the sun... Oh well, more power to them!
