Other people are looking at my screen, asking me what I'm doing (!!!!!!!! ARGH)
Jesus I hate that too!! At my work I usually (most always) have my boss hounding over my shoulder watching me, asking me, "What's that? How'd you do that? What's that do? Why are you doing it that way, instead of this way??"
Maybe someone oneday will invent a monitor who's image is only viewable to the person directly in front of it.
CARP is just shooting themselves in their foot, simple. CARP is headed by a bunch of outdated executives that are interested in finding new ways of funding their Mercedes and BMWs. They sat around and watched this internet radio thing and just knew that it would never go anywhere. Here we are now a few years later it's slowly fasing out terrestrial radio and they realize that they don't have 100% control over it. They got outsmarted and let a new technology pass them right by and all they can do now is put in laws that will whipe out but a few corporate webcast stations, of course ones that they control.
I myself run a small station and thanks to it, many people around the world are able to listen and experience music that they would have never otherwise been able to. That's the essence of webcasting.
Webcasting will never die, it will just move to an underground thing thanks to new technologies like multicasting;)
That has to be one of the most inciteful ways of looking at the working environment that I have ever seen. What you said and the questions you listed are all true. Unfortunetly I was only able to answer yes to one question, "you come out of the experience with financial independence". The other part of it is that I'm still in the experience trying to get out.
What?! Call me crazy but what does MS have anything to do with OpenGL?? How does this help competition?
Here's the summed up plan:
1. Buy competition's patents
2. Keep them for yourself
3. Watch competition wither away
4. Lay back in gold armchair next to gold rocket-powered car parked next to gold house

What would be the effect of all of this on streaming stations that broadcast stuff from Asian groups/bands???
...................yet!
No doubt that within the next 5 years they will try and enter the hardware side of things (PCs, consoles, TVs, microwaves, whatever and where ever)
