- Time Warner Cable tries metering Internet use
Is Time Warner concerned that its customers are using too much bandwidth, or trying to protect an old business model by making online video distribution too expensive for consumers? If you have any doubts see the quote from Glen Britt below. - Grappling With Cable’s Future
A priceless quote from Glen Britt, "People should think things through before they just go willy-nilly putting things on the Internet." - Sci Fi Channel is game to join the virtual world
Yes, you too can live in your virtual Battlestar. - Rock pioneer Bo Diddley dies at age 79
Sigh. There are still very few things in all of music more awesome than the Bo Diddley beat, which has been the underpinning of more great songs than you can possibly imagine. The other great thing about Mr. Diddley was that he was so cool that he could get away with all of those songs with his name in the title. I mean, imagine even today’s most self-conscious artists doing that. "Jack White is a Gunslinger." Not a chance. - Best Buy tests recycling program at some stores
This is interesting, because we recall a couple of years ago where Best Buy had an old electronics buy-back program where they would give us cold hard cash for our stuff. - Small Minnesota Town Tells Google to Take a Hike
