  on Has Microsoft Extinguished Silverlight?
  I dont think microsoft has abandoned silverlight, considering it is the main development platform for the new Windows Phone 7 OS (along with XNA for games)

  on The Difference Between Reporting And Discussion
  All i can say is this is one of 3 sites i like enough to purposely turn off my ad block for.
  
  Not all of the posts here are perfect, but this is an blog, not a .... well, i'd say newspaper, but apparently they don't do a huge amount of fact checking lately either.

  smart business

  on How Reuters Should Be Responding To The AP's Suicide
  I just happen to think it would be smarter business to wait till your competition has actually taken themselves out of the game before advertising yourself as an alternative, otherwise the competition "may" notice how stupid they are being and not destroy themselves.
  
  also of course, what was said about shareholders of reuters also owning large parts of ap is probably true too

  Ive always wondered (as eric)

  on Associated Press Tries To DRM The News
  what would happen if google just stopped linking to any of the the publications that dont want them to. I imagine if they did, those sites advertising revenue would drop dramaticly. Sometimes you just have to prove your point.
