I dislike the entire debt-based economy and has for a while. One of the problems with it is that it is based on extracting more dollars from "consumers". You can also see this in DRM for music and video for example. In my Google DoubleClick essay I mentioned Novell and Sun as examples.

I remember when Sony bought CBS Records. On DRM, I mentioned before that "Thinking about it, part of the reasons music labels got big is for economy of scale when mass producing CDs for example. Of course, such economy of scale was not needed anymore with the move to digital distribution.

I assume that Hollywood has similar problems, right?"

I have an essay about one problem: http://yuhongbao.blogspot.ca/2...

Note that I deliberately submitted the HN thread for a reason (hint: read the comments).

The iMac led to the release of Disk First Aid 8.2 in mid-1998, which can finally repair the startup disk directly without having to boot from a DIsk First Aid floppy.

Looks like this is an opt-out bill, but one thing I don't like about it is how it literally requires the link to be called "Do Not Sell My Personal Information".
