Well his coworkers that are physically in new york use the roads to get to work. If the roads weren't there he would have no job. The infrastrucure of new york has created his job.
I am not sure he takes the article seriously. I don't think that he would be able to publish something that said "George Lucas made a bunch of movies he thought people would find entertaining"
I have an mp3 player but then again I am not a gadget whore. I have hundreds of CDs so an mp3 player was a good investment. Video ipod would be cool if you could suck video out of your tivo, but your pretty much stuck with whatever apple provides for you. And you have to pay for it.
Not to mention that I would like for people to know so they don't repeatedly try to make smalltalk about some television show that I didn't even know existed. It is like getting invited to a friend's house for dinner, and you didn't tell him you don't eat red meat. Not a smart thing to do. I do like red meat though. I have a steak waiting for me at home.
After reading the link I must say that I have not met one single person with above average intelligence who talks this way. California is not the whole world.
Okay so suppose television and videogames raise the IQ of people of low or average intelligence. Without tv or videogames there is nothing to replace this kind of 'education', so these people would of gone without the benefit of this mental stimulation.
You would be hard pressed to convince me that if a learned person replaced their intellectual persuits with television their IQ would go up.
Consumerism caused by media destroys our ability to reach for any meaningful goals in life. So what if your IQ is a couple of points higher if you spend your life buying cellphones and other worthless crap.

Anyone that knows anything about combat will tell you a projectile weapon isn't worth a crap once they are within 15 feet of you.
Put it under your tinfoil hat.
How is this off topic? Isn't knowing that the story (and ensuing comments) have already been discussed important information?
One of the big criticizms of OSS is that you cannot make money off of it. Google seems to have found a way, you could at least praise them for that.

My parents didn't let me watch tv so I spent my time taking them apart and making particle accelerators out of the parts. I guess I missed out!

Yeah the used part of the "foam-support funding" for that.
I think i saw the second half of that video on a 'www.extremedildo.com'.
Is this funny, or informative?
Why not just tap into the phone/dsl/cable line near the house that is under survailence?
Hence the talk about innovation. I guess implementing these taps would be very expensive- don't tell me I should of RTFA!
