Marketing. All the hot girls are usually in Marketing. ...I love marketing departments.

What happens when a 18 year-old is convicted for statutory rape of his 17 year-old girlfriend when they have consensual sex? He's now most likely a registered sex offender. Is he banned from Facebook?

.....For McCain!!!

Seriously though, who will buy this? This is honestly the best news for OTA fans that I can imagine. No one, tech enthusiast or not, is going to be OK with cable companies monitoring them. All this will do is push more and more individuals to Netflix, Hulu, HTPC. Cable companies are on the way out. Dumb-Pipe, here we come.

Good question. I was referring to the "continuity sensors" that would detect jailbreaking and such. When I first read this, I was thinking of the current state of jailbreaking, which is a software hack. So I assumed the these continuity sensors were software in nature and somehow monitored the install process. But then I remembered that the first attempts at jailbreaking were hardware in nature. That's when I realized that these continuity sensors were in fact hardware related. So yes, my initial statement about installing the software of my own choosing doesn't really apply to this.

They can include whatever sensors they want. And I can buy whatever I want. There's no way I'll buy a smartphone that doesn't allow me to install software of my choice. This walled-garden crap is making me look to the HTC Hero, or whatever new Android phone is on the horizon.

Wow, who's going to be lining up to buy this product now? Nothing scares away potential customers like the threat of a potential lawsuit, ...just from generating some docs. (What does their product do again?_

My sweet, sweet inter-tubes. You are a cruel and fickle Mistress

We had an outage today. Our servers are hosted with Genesis Hosting, which suffered an outage from their ISP; XO Communications in Chicago. Anyone know what happened?

Will we see "Frodo Lives!" in Farsi now?

Do we just let AT&T and ASCAP fight this one out? This is like Iran and North Korea going at it.

Ok, so they are charged with possessing/manufacturing child porn. Will they be tried as children (suspended sentence)? Maybe there should be a slap on the wrist. None of the usual registration as a sexual predator stuff.

Roy Scheider (and myself) approves.

Let me guess, certain songs will stimulate sharks. Does it mean they like the music? Or that the rhythm reminds them of the excited heartbeat of a baby seal? Maybe its the magnets in the speaker systems. Or the electricity in the wires. What about differing tastes of music between individual sharks? We don't actually assume that music preference is species wide for sharks, do we? Get ready for some serious bias in interpreting whatever results these experiments find.

Remember, Bing Crosby is for slow-aquatic-red-death
