1. Comment - Sony Kills ATRAC, Introduces Video Walkmans

   (Aug 30, 2007 - 11:06 PM)

   The Video Walkman SUPPORTS avi as well as mp4. Sony is distributing Sony Trailers on the Sony Style site as mp4s. You can also download directly to the device from a web page (using an ActieX plugin). That's right, side-loading is optional. Take that Apple.

   So shouldn't they tax paper or anything that can be printed on since data can be encoded and printed for data readers?

3. Comment - Google: Viacom's Built to Sue

   How's this analogy - a consumer sends a TV network a video tape of a copyrighted TV show or movie, the TV network airs it non-stop in looping playlist/schedule until they receive a cease and desist and then they stop showing it, with no further legal repercussions.
   
   That's pretty much what Google has been doing. And Google thinks they aren't in the wrong???

4. Comment - MPAA Sues YouTVpc, Peekvid for Copyright Infringement

   So by their logic shouldn't they sue this news outlet for promoting the site?
   
   If they go after real pirates, that's justified. But going after people who just point to others violates the ideals of individual freedom. I'll be more than happy to go out of my way to make sure the studios (Fox, Paramount) named get none of my money.

5. Comment - Google Wants Your Web History

   Dumb Dumb Dumb, yes Google is smart if you like being exploited for your data. Who says we have to GIVE them our data so THEY can make money without paying us a dime? Time to start charging google for letting them use OUR metadata. No point in building a fortune for THEM while we get bombarded with ads in return. And for the record, if you aren't already using your hosts files to block all adservers, you should. Everytime I see an ad online I right click, get the domain, and redirect it in my hosts file. I'm pretty sure this means that Google is billing advertisers for ad requests made by my computer that were never displayed to me.
   
   You do know they have the ability to track you as an individual across the internet? Especially since they now bought DoubleClick. Doublieclick use to track people across ALL their clients sites building detailed (anonymous) profiles on people so they can serve ads. Google does the same with adsense, now that they are the same Google has the ability to spy on everyone. Spying isn't the issue though, the issue is they are passively making millions off us and we have no choice or ability to secure our data or charge them for using us. Anti-trust - hell yes.
