Would love to see good ol' Marsh be given a quiz with 10 facts, five are objectively true; the rest objectively false. Let's see how many of the false ones she can pick out. I'm putting the over/under at 1.5.
I'm no expert, but I don't believe I would have committed to pay billion$ for sports rights, knowing my fate rested in the hands of companies like Comcast.
Did you learn your little turn off their mic trick from Steven Tyler? He used to do that to opening bands if they looked like they would blow Areosmith off the stage.
He tried that once with Kansas ('memba them?). Only they had laid out dummy lines. When Stevie unplugged the dummies, nothing happened. Kansas continued at full volume.
If France follows through with this and Google shuts down Google Images, then how will the French police find all of my illegal photos of French police arresting women in Burkinis? I've already blocked them from Instagram.
Seriously, do these people have any idea of the negative effect of this on e-commerce? A big chunk of online retail would die without image search.
How does this affect sites like Esty where I own the work and I post it to specifically have it indexed. Are the French saying I cannot assign rights and set the price for my own work?
Until there is a big fantasy business around the Olympics, it's always going to be a struggle to get Millennials interested in large numbers.
Plus, they need to update the sports. add MMA, etc. My vote would be a new sport where you get drunk and kick in a bathroom door. My guess is Hope Solo would dominate the women's
Donald Trump Says He'll Turn Off The Internet For Terrorists
I have an elegant solution. Simply say that Comcast will be the world's only ISP. The terorists will have to wait so long for an install, they will simply give up.
...or if you are caught laundering $880M in drug money, you get a slap on the wrist because the DOJ considers you "too big to jail". No criminal charges at all.
Under Cable Lobbying Assault, FCC Commissioners Waffling On Cable Box Competition Plan
Ok, let the cable guys keep the boxes. Then have the FCC rule that they have to sell channels ala carte. No more forcing me to buy 500 channels, of which I actually watch 5.
Hillary Clinton's Intellectual Property Platform: Too Vague & Confusing
Did Hill's discussion of patent abuse include her buds in pharma that make a slight tweak to a medication and get another 20 years of patent protection?
US Threatens Colombia Over Compulsory Licensing Of Swiss Drug
Do I have this right? These are the same drug companies that move hdqtrs outside of the U.S. because, gosh darn, we don't like to pay taxes (but we sure love price gouging.
Question for any lawyer out there: If the govt requires a company to place a backdoor in its product, and the product gets hacked through the backdoor, is the company liable or will the govt have to indemnify the company?
Also, will the company even be able to get insurance against a hack?
I would remind people we are talking about the same Congress that apparently has no issue with some wacko buying an assault rifle at gun show then going Rambo in a movie theatre.
