I hope this does not mean we are in for an advertorial-like wrapper on things… This would certainly change the percerption and potency of the message in things like the Subserviant Chicken and I, Robot..

A Web site meant to promote upcoming film drama “Godsend” is stirring controversy among people who oppose human cloning and [...]

Gotta like Qwest… I believe they were the first communications company to offer data only DSL and now they are dropping fees associated with VOIP. I respect their leadership and acknowledgment that there is more than traditional voice to sell.

Just kidding though it is raining today…
It seems the general advertising community is finally waking up to realize that aside from how ridiculous the ability to track return on investment is and that ratings are basically bogus, consumers are getting away from them as well thanks to technology. We’ll see what happens next as [...]

Steve Perlman created WebTV, sold it to Microsoft and then went on to create Moxi which merged with Digeo, now owned by Paul Allen. Up until today’s announcement that Comcast is going to test their set-top boxes only Charter (also owned by Paul Allen) were giving them a whirl. The box has capabilities [...]

Stop what you are doing right now and watch this… absolutely hilarious!
This is the best internet video mashup evar: the Star Wars Kid (a net-icon famous for having captured his Darth Maul light-staff fights on video, thus becoming the subject of Internet mockery, which led to really bogus lawsuit) matted extremely well into the Kill [...]

Thursday is the best news day because I get Circuits from the NYT and Personal Technology from Walt Mossberg in the WSJ. The current issue of Wired has a great article on Mossberg and his power and influence in the tech space. It will be online eventually and I’ll try to remember to [...]
