  on Imagine If Everyone Had To Start From Scratch And Reinvent The Wheel Every Time They Wanted To Build A New Car?
  "At 3M we don't make a lot of the products you buy. We make a lot of the products you buy better. But we're also lazy, unimaginative bastards."

  on UMG Watermarks Audiophile Files, Pisses Off Paying Customers
  This is similar to how pissed I get when trying to watch a DVD or Bluray that I purchased and being forced to watch or FF through 10 minutes of previews, because pressing the menu button gives a "operation not available" error.

  on When Innovation Meets the Old Guard
  I find it amusing the number of commenters who obviously don't recognize their own status as one of the old guard.

  on Let Them Tweet Cake
  she apparently takes it as granted that any changes are bad
  
  As long as we're being philosophical, it would be equally erroneous to say that changes are inherently good.

  Just confirms my thoughts...

  on Makeup Companies Run Into Legal Trouble For Too Much Photoshopping... And Not Enough Photoshopping
  that Julia Roberts requires photoshop to appear as a pretty woman. I think it's the lack of a philtrum.

  Streaming is not the golden goose, yet.

  on Another View Of The Netflix Price Hike: It's Speeding Up The Shift To Online Streaming
  As a Netflix streaming subscriber I am frequently frustrated by the lack of content available (Ghostbusters 2, but not Ghostbusters?) or content that disappears (Sagan's Cosmos used to be in my queue, now it's gone). Not to mention that my ISP, Verizon DSL, has difficulty maintaining even a 1.5 Mb connection to my house for more than 1/2 hour at a time. Any shift to streaming as the norm will require not just a broader content selection (which would in turn require less draconian IP regulation), but it will require physical infrastructure upgrades as well.
