I had a similar situation occur (on a much smaller scale) while in high school. Isn't this pretty well established law? Once you agree sell something you can't back out because you get a higher offer.
The article mentioned solving the "boundary value problem" for the Möbius strip. I found this on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_condition. I'm not sure that this article presents anything new as it claims too.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't look like there is a lot of money in Internet Radio. So stations couldn't pay if they wanted to and if internet radio is effectively shutdown it would be a net loss for everyone artists, distributors, stations and listeners. So to me it looks like the only alternative is for internet radio to become very similar to FM radio (lots of ads) and fees paid.
If this means that LCD's are going to be even cheaper then they already are [insert happy dance here] I may never have to stare at non-LCD wall space again.
That said it seems like a fairly common practice with these types manufactures. Remember the accusations of DRAM price fixing? http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/07/ 14/1222215
Google Analytics in particular gives them better and more accurate information to improve the results of their core business search. Also Google's flurry of product launches has increased competition across the board. That sounds good not evil to me.
I've always disliked supporting multiple browsers... and I have a hard time believing that if every browser was standards compliant there wouldn't be some small thing that would be rendered differently enough to cause problems. I don't care who wins but a having just one browser to deal with would make things much easier.
That said competition is a good thing. We get more features faster this way.
What percentage of users would really use the MySpace branded search? Are they going to offer more intelligent indexing of MySpace content with real-time updates or is going to just be a rebranding of an existing search offering? I'd hope for the former but we'll probably get the later.
When you see this much money flying around it would be nice to see some improvement of the product(s) for the end users.
If it's free and radio based. There's the possibility of truly anonymous internet access... short of them triangulating your position. I'm not sure if this is good or bad.
I've got 2 VOIP providers (one at work and one at home) and the tech support is awful and I have reliability issues. That said the price is right and when everything is working it works well.
IPO = more reliability/quality?

Vonage going IPO

I have accounts with 2 VOIP providers on 2 different ISPs and still have reliability issues. When everything is working correctly it's *great*, but when there are problems it's very bad. I hope that the extra money from the IPO helps them improve reliability and call quality and not just "enhance shareholder value" (not that there's anything wrong with that!).
I wonder if this will apply to pending patents or just patents submitted after May 12th? Will we see a *bad* patent application rush to avoid the peer review?
I still think VOIP has a long way to achieve the same level of audio quality you get on a regular land line phone. I use VOIP at home and at work (2 different VOIP providers and 2 different ISP's) and both myself and the people I call can tell the difference. I love the features and I want them to keep coming, but I'd like to see the audio quality improve too!
Why is BCC so bad? Because someone else makes a unilateral decision to make you a *secret* recipient of an email. I never know if it's ok to acknowledge that I got to email or do I have to play dumb if one of the *real* recipients talks to me about it.

If my math is right... that's 50,331,648MB / 295,734,134 (US Population) = 174.27683 kilobytes for every man woman and child in the US. In one box!

If Homer Simpson can get the AT-5000 Autodialer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_Frink#AT-50 00_Autodialer for regular phones how long before we have the VOIP equivalent?

It's a BCC if you're not on the To: or the CC: it may vary from client to client.
