Why is this so hard. I have engineer friends who figured this out years ago.

After you buy the Creative VoIP blaster, you still have to pay 5 cents a minute, and it only works on the PC that you have installed this device. Sign up for long distance with IPhoneBill.com and you'll get 4.9 cents per minute, flat rate. Check it out. And it works with all your regular phones on the same line.
I'm pretty impressed with Eazel developers. They spotted my All Your Base t-shirt today at the Olive Garden in Palo Alto. The first ones all day to know what it meant!
It's true that we don't place a high value on things we obtain for free. Why should I feel good about buying a CD from the store? Somebody else got it for free by downloading it. CDs are just a medium and with MP3 you don't need to feel any emotional attachment. But there is a solution! Vinyl! You can't copy the look and feel! Buy vinyl and play with your music.
Pop culture is basically whatever is popular. Popularity comes from hype, which comes from the media. Big corporations own all that. They spend lots of money to generate this content. So of course, "corporations control pop culture". They produce it. Complaining about what they produce is like saying "I wish my bread maker spewed Dr. Pepper". This is America. We are bland and simple minded sheep. Let's just sit in our trailer and watch wrestling while we listen to N-Sync, and then complain about our teachers. If you don't like it, move to Canada. "If the music is good, there's no need to label it" -- commercial for Living in the 90's compilation, Razor and Tie records.
