    2. Material written for publication in a newspaper or magazine or for broadcast.

    4. Newspapers and magazines.

    Well according to 6 even the bathroom wall writing is journalism.

    According to every other definition here the web is never mentioned, but television is.

    So... Yes. Blogging certainly is Journalism.

    And... No. Blogging is not Journalism.

    Just look at every other post on this /. story/blog and you will see my conclusions match.

    Games do not use Real Physics, they fake it. If they didn't fake it, you wouldn't want to play it.

    So your Saying rather than running down the stairs in FarCry and dying and taking a Grenade Launcher in the face and living it will be the opposite?

    No thank you.

    My only advantage in that game is getting people to follow me down a very small set of steps in Monkeybay and watching as they scream in agony!

    If you don't like their business model, do not visit the sites. simple.

    This is a tired response. Nothing you can do about new sites you've never been to. You get annoyed when a popover shows up.

    When you've been reading a site for years with interesting content and some new PHB ads popovers to the site you are going to have to find a way to block the popover less you be annoyed.

    I'm sorry, but unplugging the interent and shutting it all down and walking away is a weak response to a new problem that needs to get licked.

    The issue deserves attention.

    In that scenario, it's no longer about punishing the one who took advantage of you because he could. It's about turning around and taking full advantage of him, because now you can.

    I noticed that GOatee is registered.
    Does that mean that Google's Oatee Beta will be ready soon?
