The Clicker: ESPN360

Think the phone companies' ideas about net neutrality (or lack thereof) are bad? Try the opposite: content providers charging ISP's for the right to carry the content. Sound familiar? It's called cable TV -- and ESPN is trying to establish it for Internet content. It's a brilliant idea and a spectacular turning of the tables, but how bad would this suck: you can't get something on the Internet becuase the ISP you picked doesn't subscribe to it? Are you kidding me?!

Make the Internet more like cable TV. <sarcasm>What a great idea!</sarcasm>

That's my Insight.

Technology is a girl's best friend?

Some people might be tempted to think that increased usage of electronic devices by women has something to do with the devices becoming easier to use, but aside from being a sexist interpretation it would also be incorrect. As "gadgets" become more about communication and less about amusement, it's inevitable that women will become more interested in using them.

NeoOffice 2.0- "Aquafied" Beta Released

NeoOffice 1.2 is pretty good, but not quite sufficient for adoption by "ordinary users" in lieue of Microsatanic Office -- but dang close. Version 2.0, on the other hand, looks to be the real deal. It's also $400 cheaper than the bloatware from Redmond. I'm nearly giddy with anticipation.
