On: Internet Broadcasting Makes A Comeback

This article is more an advertisement for someone's commercial venture than anything else. If he wanted to just post this rehash article about pod-casting he could have with out plugging his own web site. I'm surprised this made it thru the /. Standards.

Cars getting buggy computers is bad enough. I'm worried about the planes! gives new meaning to "blue screen of death."

On: 6 Firms Form Holographic Versatile Disc Alliance

"HVD is being seen as a possible successor to Blu-ray and HD-DVD technologies." I love that it is replacing something that isn't even on the market yet.

Re:Funny, I don't see these on profit/loss reports

On: Spam Costs U.S. Companies $22B Annually

Exactly! I see these "fill in the blank" cost businesses X billion dollars articles all the time, and I always think they are a joke. It's been new Star Wars movie releases (really, workers were going to take days off in droves, costing businesses $500 billion or something), Super Bowls, itchy butts, and who knows what all. These things aren't stamps. They aren't salaries, they aren't even workers comp. I think it creates a historical whiny attitude that does no service to the idea that spam is really annoying and can't we do something about it?
