on the product and actor. For instance, the wife and I thought the Kevin Bacon ad for the Logitech Revue (?) was clever.
It was a tongue-in-cheek approach that i thought worked well. I believe that if more advertisements poked fun at themselves, it would go a long way for their image
I just don't understand why the TV companies aren't paying attention.
I think the vast majority of Hulu users wouldn't mind paying $5-10/month if we felt we were getting something in return - Easily accessible, No commercials, longer retention period of shows, access from ANY device, etc....
They're shooting themselves in the foot with these ridiculous restrictions. They need someone with vision who will actually listen to what consumers want.
yes, i agree. the article doesn't make it clear if the newspaper bought 1.3 million CDs and handed them out.
If so, I don't see a problem with that & the estate should be happy someone bought so many CDs.
None of this information is personally identifiable. There is no way to 'disaggregate' the information to correlate it with a specific buyer without further information. Unless, you know, you're the only one that lives at that particular postal code.
Are you kidding me? are you new to this site or just haven't been paying attention. It has been reported time and time again about how supposed non-identifiable information can lead straight to the "non-identifiable" person.
We had a conference in Dc last week. Some answers were pulled out during Q&A, but we're achieve much more through the contacts we made with other companies in similar situations.
I read this in our local san antonio newspaper a couple of days ago - in the comments section, developers actually argued that this would incentivize them to invest MORE in the development area and community.
I almost spit diet coke all over my keyboard when I read that.
to a certain extent, why wouldn't the ability to request some embarrassing, or even very private, information about oneself be good(if not possible)?
I'm not talking about politicians/public figures doing cocaine, i'm talking about Joe-computer-user who sees that someone has listed all his current/previous addresses and phone numbers.
What if someone had posted pics/info of your KID?
Personally, i'd like to request my account info, including credit card info, be deleted from a handful of merchant sites - such as those involved with the "web loyalty" scam that surfaced - http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10399880-93.html
My favorite example of a "toy" seemingly becoming a driving force behind an entire segment of technology - the original Xbox.
It was initially modded in order to play backed-up games.
Smarter people quickly realized that with a media player installed (XBMC), one could have a great 1080i upconverting media center without spending several hundred to thousands of dollars.
M$ did their best to quash the modders, but failed. However, they did the smart thing (and so did Sony) by understanding the importance of a media center and incorporate those ideas into their next-gen consoles.
Everyone who watches a movie on their home TV streamed over their network from a server or from an online source owes a big "thank you" to those original Xbox modders.
