Rarely on/. do I comment but the posts I find here force me.
A good number of those who have commented have no mercy for podcasts and want to distance Apple from pod*.
Sure. Podcasts are not a phenomenon Apple created or should be credited or blamed for but heres the thing.
Criticism is a funtion of ignorance 97% of the time. Many will go IED on podcasts and they have no clue about the true potential for podcasts and podcasting.
Years from now you will thank me for enlighting YOU that podcasting is the next BIG THING.
Sometime ago, I would start the day with 30 Min of TV news. In the evening 30 more minutes of propaganda and throw in 2 hours of primetime TV entertainment...now I surf
PEOPLE!!! Dont you people want Nigerians to have some piec of the cake? I mean, they are not getting their fair share of OIL revenues, and the little that is going to government ends up in the pockets of corrupt officials. What is the average Nigerian to do but scheme. Historically Nigerians are crafty traders and draining a poor white man's bank account in some form is just another page in the dirty chapters of man's attempt to out do each other by wit. Stupid bastards Nigerians are but it compensates for what we cheat for in terms of OIL revenues.
There is need to break the monopoly that exists in DVD standards. Not for quality reasons but to fight EVIL. You would think standards are meant for convenience of both consumers and vendors, but this has turned into a hanging ground where manufacturers can strangle consumers with anything from DRM, Pricing to mandatory upgrades.
The likes of MPAA, RIAA and the Hollywood establishment/mafia have tricked the world to focus on one thing. THE CONSUMER AS A PILATE. Menwhile behind the scenes they sell low cost commodity (CD and DVDs) at MAFIA prices. These monopolies are clever, for even Governments will never examine their pricing practises. While all attention is on stopping the (oh so) pilateful consumer, their pricing is going to hell.
As it is, a DVD should never retail for more than US $ 1.99. A CD should go for US $ 0.99. and the artists would never go hungry. Magically this would also kill the little copying that goes on by making the product affordable and increase sales for the vendors.
At the moment, artists are paid too much, yet not getting close to a fair share. So let the market have more options, and China is a start with this alternative DVD standard if it ever takes off.
Heheheeeeee, i don't use Firefox. All the hype before, during and after its launch gave me goose bumps. I have used Mozilla for close to 4+ years and its all good. Same mom you may say. Long live the free (from money) world of tech.
Hi, my name is Tony. Thanks to ITT i am now a locomotive driver. I just returned from a vacation in Cancun. Last month i bought my first house and car. My mother could never be more proud of me.

Respectable enterprises use Microsoft products. If and when they cant use the said products they pick up the phone book and call Sun, IBM,Novell etc.
For government and affiliated agencies at any level to try to cut costs by resulting to OSS shmarks of big time BS. They use Tax money and they better use it well. Start at Microsoft and if possible never look back PHB.
A Microsoft Apologist. {mod -5, muahaha}
how many software engineers does it take Microsoft to make a billion dollars?. If my guess is right, you think Microsoft makes all those dimes and chimes because of the godly Chief Engineer, Bill Gates. WRONG. Its the software Engineers at MS and they ALL deserve equal rights to the MS LOOT as Gates. Curtains ||||| enters Yahoo and Google.
Now, where do we start with the likes of these two in the quest to underpay Joe, overpay CEO and twist the investor arse.
pathetic that Joe Anyone should defend DSL/tel or Cable co.s in complete disregard of fact that if it weren't for competation/self interests + regulation that forces them to raise bandwidth, home broadband would be in the 58k-80k range.
while it is easy to blame it all on the internet (a cheap shot by the article author) tv is the real culprit for the proliferation of patients who think they know more than their doctors and even attempt self diagnosis. But behind the tv scenes are pharmaceutical companies with bloated pockets, streaming information relevant only to doctors direct to the public through tv ads. Medication (and related information) that cant be obtained without prescription should not be advertized on tv since this leads to panic_by_vulnerability thus over zealous hypochondriacs.
Video on future friggin tiny iPods? Give me a break. Sitting at home or at work and watching crappy 5 min music video downloads of 50ct in total boredom is one thing. Watching video on any handheld is a TASK i avoid. That i would have to PAY for such a whor...i mean pain is out of question, whatever the price. A good number of new economic disorderly guys i know do not care to watch TV for months at a time leave alone 20x20 video. Who is the iPodVdeo (tm) meant for? Only dopely Teens?.

...as any CEO knows when the *bubble* gets too big,
1. start acquisitions/ mergers.
2. borrow.
3. sell stock (for CEO and insiders).
4. fire thousands of lower tier employees.
5. consolidate operations.
Repeat.
as the scales tip for companies like google, it is not necessarily doomsday.
