It's like Lenin says: you look for the person who will benefit and, uhh....
I'd like to think that those photographers who don't have any representation at the moment and have HIGH QUALITY work to offer will benefit, those with medium and low quality work will suffer. The problem is that those with high quality work would be more likely to have representation outside of the internet, thus leaving the majority of people left to fend for themselves on flickr getting the short end of the stick from Getty. You can't pay them more just because they have low quality work and there are more of them, this is not social welfare. Those that opt in need to understand that there are better ways at getting financial representation for their work. But for those that need a little bit of cash from works they aren't making any cash from, this works fairly well.
Virtual first post.
Most newer TVs can already play networked media files, show sport scores, weather and some can even do light browsing - all from either a ethernet or wireless network connection.
This seems a bit ad-centric, maybe for light kiosks or informational displays.
depends if it connects to adhoc networks or not. if it does connect to ad hoc networks then IT WILL tether to iphones (jailbroken ones only in the US) and other mobiles.
How about not worrying about hold music but instead working actually talking to users/customers. Improving your efficiency in solving problems/answering questions. I think thats a way better aproach to your problem than muzak.
Mostly because they always Quake3/Half life machines running illegal cd keys. Plus with the HUGE boom of people playing free games at pc cafes like Gunbound and solitaire I bet theyll eat this up. Given the right advertising and support.
This is exactly what people need too, a good free game with some good support ( silicon ice ) and a good base ( RTCW ). Games are getting to supscription based which is why a lot of PC cafes are closing down nowadays. They cant afford to buy licenses for every machine.
while somewhat similar I think that urban terror, with not much of a userbase now, will explode with this info. being free it should go crazy at Pc cafes' where they usually have illegal copies of halflife anyways, now they can support a free good game.
dundundun
Maybe software companies should stop releasing debuggers and tcp/ip logging software so that people can stop making cheats for online pc games... ya right.
