1. YouTube removes all of Viacom's copyrighted content.
2. Ratings for all of Viacom's programming "mysteriously" drop.
3. Viacom does research to determine why; ratings continue to drop.
4. Viacom attempts to create an Internet portal. Everything is pay-per-view and non-embeddable.
5. Viacom's ratings continue to drop "inexplicably"; Viacom sues Tivo....
...of course, more than anything I miss the fact that I could access that box of 3.5" floppies with all my.MODs on them. Does anyone know if the newer OSes (including this one) will have some sort of backwards compatibility for FFS-formatted floppies?

1. Does this mean that we'll have more kickass demos again soon?
2. Most people who still own an Amiga know where it is, but they don't know how much they'll have to spend to get it working again.
3. Hey, if this means I can get that box of FFS-formatted 3.5" floppies with all my MODs on them to work...I'm all for it.
From the RIAA's point of view, the distribution of any performance by a musician that is covered under them that they don't receive financial compensation for is a threat.
So, instead of colonizing, we're going to pre-spam space with all the crap that annoys us here?
OR
So, we're going to guarantee that no alien race will want to come near us?
OR
Why does everything have to involve advertising? This is almost as bad as paying the hobos in California $100 to wear a T-Shirt promoting a movie.
OR...
I would like to see an online music store that:
--allowed pre-payment by check or money order (send $20-$50 and once it's credited to your account, download that much in songs). Not everyone has a credit card.
--supported all the major digital formats (I hadn't really considered that, but now that it comes up...): MP3, OGG, WMA, etc.
--gave a higher percentage of royalties to the artists in question
--supported independent artists significantly
I echo your sentiment. I initially had AbiWord installed on my previous machine to submit my college assignments in an acceptable format. I discovered a glitch when attempting to format a reference page and suddenly found myself unable to reload my paper. I had to load it into Note Tab Light, strip out the formatting and reload it into AbiWord to save it out properly. Now I actually have MS Office on a newer, faster machine and I haven't had any problems with it (well, maybe a couple of technical gripes).
AbiWord shows great promise, but needs a bit more tweaking.
...in a world where you can bypass a "high-tech" CD copy protection scheme with a magic marker, how long is it going to take people to find a way around this? Or inversely, how long is it going to take for mismatches to be made?
Two major search engines can't share space for very long, no matter how amiable it might seem. I was actually tired of both, myself. I have been frequenting Search Engine Watch for something more up-to-date (and less ad-sponsored). But then again, I guess I'm just doing that whole "underground rules" thing.

Maybe this means that now the third-party blogging client developers will be able to get their software working with Blogger accounts again.

The problem with decency is that everyone has a different definition of what is or isn't decent.

Well, the quiet was nice while it lasted. Hey, shouldn't we have figured out some more advanced form of standard communication than the phone by now?

I like Vivisimo right now for metasearching. They also give you clustered results down the side based on inferred topics.
