  1. Re:This isn't net neutrality, on Justice Department Opposes Net Neutrality · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yep. As you said, the DoJ isn't coming out against Net neutrality.

    The headline should have said something closer to "DoJ opposes new Net neutrality *laws*."

    One additional word. But a big difference.

  4. Getting rich from Google doodles on The Man Behind Google Artwork · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately the CNN.com article left out an interesting nugget of information: Google doodling can be quite lucrative.

    We mentioned in this CNET News.com piece how Mr. Hwang cashed in $489,000 worth of stock in one sale (and that was when Google was much less richly valued): http://news.com.com/2061-10786_3-5447373.html

  5. Re:I don't get it on States Seeking Levies on Digital Downloads · · Score: 1

    You didn't read past the headline, did you?

    Only 15 states + Washington DC (of course) tax iTunes downloads. I live in California, which does not.

    Now this may change, which was the point of the article. These _are_ new taxes.

    It had nothing to do with the concept of _physical shipments_ of goods, which is what you're talking about.

  6. Re:Anyone have a list of the states? on States Seeking Levies on Digital Downloads · · Score: 1

    I know this is a foreign concept in some circles and all that, but may I suggest actually RTFAing?

    There's a detailed map designed precisely for this purpose.

  7. Re:F.U.D on States Seeking Levies on Digital Downloads · · Score: 1

    You're right that Apple charges taxes on *physical* shipments because of nexus.

    But as I explained in the article that started this thread, Apple does *not* charge taxes on digital "shipments" such as iTunes downloads in states like California that do not tax digital downloads.

    Most states do not tax them, in fact, as the article explains.
