YouTube increases Google's risk of copyright infringement, opening the door for significant liability
Despite what else I think of Google, this move makes sense. Google has stepped up to defend itself on a number of other copyright fronts (including book content); I think they will do an equally good job defending themselves (or coming to terms) on the video front.
two of them--Adobe Systems and Symantec--are lobbying European regulators to get tough on Microsoft
1) People who drag lawyers into a tech contest are already on the losing end. (Like you, SCO.) 2) If many people feel the need to get a whole continent's regulatory arm fired up about X, then yes, X is relevant.
Games are still sold at brick-and-mortar stores? That alone surprised me; I didn't think there was any need for that anymore with Internet try-before-buy, downloads and price-checking web sites that help you avoid shipping, taxes, etc.
You think MySpace is now mostly populated by older men because it used to mostly be populated by teenage girls? (Or teenage boys; ask your local Republican about that.)
OK, so I read "TV/Web" convergence and that's about it. Where's the hardware (for your home theater) that makes such convergence possible? (That's what I thought they were selling; otherwise, it's just another web site.)
When my email client and/or ISP starts to piss me off, I swap it out with something better. It may take a few hours to do so, but after that I'm enjoying better features/performance/whatever I was after. If Gmail is starting to suck, dump it - right? (Don't tell me you've already suffered "vendor lock in" with Google; you're a Slashdotter, after all.)
I'm not sure how long it would take to swap out of SourceForge, but I'd bet it would be more than a few hours. (Thus the call for "utilities"...)
OK, so Slashdot is famous for putting marketing FUD on its main page, but even I don't get how putting anti-spy devices in would have prevented the head of HP from spying on people. (I can imagine the work order crossing the CEO's desk: "Hmmm...here's a request from some peon for a company anti-spy installation to prevent what I'm up to. Denied, ya' think?")
Article Summary:
- Not much has changed in the world of video game art over the past 20+ years.
- Game companies tune their franchises from the "likes boobies" crowd to the "likes Barney" crowd depending on demand.
Al Mudrow's Tips For Traveling in China: 10. If you go out for a massage, which are common in China, make sure you specify to the receptionist that you want a "foot massage". I've been told a regular massage involves more intimate contact than you may be comfortable with.
You've "been told" this, huh? By "a friend," I suppose?
The "Free" example listed in the article is NOT free. From the web site:
Although you can only view conversations that are less than 24 hours old, ChatChecker Lite saves conversations for 30 days. When you upgrade to ChatChecker Plus, you can immediately view these old conversations.

Let me ask a question... how many businesses out there actually offer you something that is truly useful on a daily basis without you having to pay a cent for it?...and they charge the right people in order to provide it: other businesses.
Sounds like a typical "MEDIA" (TV, newspaper, magazine, etc.) to me. So...thousands?
The point is comarketing. October is typically a dead sales month (after back-to-school, before Christmas), so you drop "Breast Cancer Awareness" in there and go. "Cancer Research" is already one of the worst ways to spend your charitable dollar. First check the "admin costs/research" percentages. Then look up how well (like % drop) "cancer research" has done to drop cancer rates. (Hint: You'll see we spent a lot of money and got very little improvement.) Then ask your local rep if they're for stem cell research (often not) and proven environmental measures to prevent cancer (expect blank stare). Then look at the products that are cobranded pink: top-end mixers, washing machines, etc. It's a fricking scam and women eat it up.
"Hi, I'm a venture capitalist."
Strike one.
"Before I tell you anything useful, let me just say that Microsoft sucks."
Strike two.
"Yes, copying other good ideas is good. But before I go any further, let me publicly fawn over my previous employer."
Yer' out!

Their consumer gadget will be made available right AFTER the biggest consumer buying season of the whole year? Brilliant.
Can you expand on this a bit? (i.e., What Sourceforge-like services are available?)

Mostly because web mail packages/services like Gmail are a dime a dozen; SourceForge provides more unique value to the average techie.
Why not just dump GMail? Surely there are utilities to migrate to another web mail service or an open source mail solution...
