Every time this issue gets brought up on air, those jackasses (Dennis in particular) cover the story like "net neutrality" means is some socialist takover of the internet.
They think it means that ATT will have to build it and then give it all away for free.
If they REALLY understood it, they would realize the ground rules for building the internet are one of the greatest successes of CAPITALISM in the past 50 years.
It encourages innovation, calculated risks, and investment towards long-term gains by corporations.
But, without net neutrality rules in place, there's nothing to stop your ISP from directing you to BING.com when you typed GOOGLE.com, because Microsoft threw some promotional money at them, and that's a massive problem.
It's not about reputation, it's about the quality and timeliness of the news.
In the world of finance, that's easy. If I have better information, quicker, I can make money. that creates value and justifies the cost.
Sure, they are going to gut the brand. They already hired a conservative wonk to run the editorial page, and they're planning on selling off the Dow Jones Index brand, and the same basic information is available on finance.yahoo.com.
But, there is a market for the value they are adding (same goes for Bloomberg), and therefore they will be OK for quite some time.
Take Slashdot. Would you pay a couple buck per month for Slashdot?
I would. Not like $30, but easily $3 or so.
I would say there is at least one article a week that makes my job easier. that's an easy justification for me.
He's not shooting himself in the foot, he's acting in his own self interest. Yes, it may be kind of short-term thinking, but it would be profitable if he could do what he is trying to do.
I don't know if all info is meant to be free. The Wall Street Journal charges and makes money. They are providing a specific sector with timely and well researched information. There is value in that.
But what he is missing is the fact that for most topics a newspaper, newscast, or news channel is no longer the commodity. The STORY is the commodity.
Love capitalists who complain about the destructive nature of the free market.
What would you prefer, socialism?
AccuWeather and the Weather Channel (in the US), who take publicly provided weather data, process it, and resell it, love to complain about how NOAA gives similar info away for free.
Uhm, my tax dollars paid for that, so yeah, I want it for free.
If you add value through your processing and predictive analysis and create something that has a market value, then that is great, but don't complain others can get the free data that you, yourself, have gotten for free.

When is a non-phone version of Android going to come around?
Wouldn't mind playing with it, but I don't need it as a phone.
And I think there's lots of potential for it as an open source portable media device.
.. I should know since I read them 70 picoseconds ago using my time telescope.
A good IT project manager is worth his or her weight in gold.
Because they are about as a rare.
But when you work with them, it makes all the difference.
... in the constitution that said something about our right to gather?
That's when we'll see $70 games.
What we are all here to solve, at the end of the day, is a Business Need.
And your design document can never be more accurate than the definition of the business need.
If your solution is well written and matches the design document, yet is unable to solve the business need, you've missed the mark.
If your solution has some flex in it, and maybe ever some performance issues, but solves the business need, it's a win.

I agree, but it's not just gov't corruption. People go to jail all the time for embezzling 10 grand.
At least they do here in philly.
Maybe it's us.
Nothing to stop them leaving 'cept two year contracts and service fees.

Let's not forget he was the guy that attempted a Soldier of Fortune-type rescue of the Iranian hostages.
The best way to pick up mercury is with scotch tape.
Seriously. Sticks right to it.

I keep looking for that killer app that got kicked out of the itunes store that would make me jailbreak my iphone.
Haven't found it yet.
Or if you would rather, "Greed, for a lack of a better term, is good".
