Here is a 1981 San Francisco TV report foreshadowing the potential downfall of printed news by predicting all news will be read someday on a computer.
I have strong beliefs that humans will create many more amazing technological advances over the next 25 years but I have little faith in our Corporate masters actually using those innovations to benefit consumers to their maximized ability.
Instead of embracing technology for progressive changes of their business models, the majority of global Corporations will continue to protect the profits of their market shares by limiting technology. Telecoms, Tech/Cable/Record companies, TV and Movie studios all engage in this narrow minded anti consumer paranoid behavior today.
The whole RIAA suing debacle is just one major example of Corporate greed impeding technological forces to screw the consumer. Rather than providing a new alternative method than buying $16.99 CDs in stores, RIAA sent out the lawyers to ruin people's lives with legal bills.
This is another reason why Net Neutrality is paramount for a free and open internet by keeping the corporations at bay.
I strongly endorse the results of this "friends with benefits" analysis. The combination of the high doin' it factor and less stress are crucial components of more happiness. Be sure to click on the image to enlarge the report for better viewing.
I think PETA is a terrible organization, who's annoying childish behavior always drowns out their legitimate points on animal cruelty. However, this is PETA change that Mac G can believe in.
Of course, this ad was already banned from the Super Bowl.
“Rush Limbaugh is a has-been hypocrite loser, who craves attention. His right-wing lunacy sounds like Mikhail Gorbachev, extolling the virtues of communism. Limbaugh actually was more lucid when he was a drug addict. If America ever did 1% of what he wanted us to do, then we’d all need pain killers.”
“Can I make a comment that is unrelated to the economy very quickly?” Obama asked at a morning economic briefing. “It has to do with Washington. My children’s school was canceled today. Because of what—some ice? As my children pointed out, in Chicago, school is never canceled.”
Obama went on to suggest that D.C. would do well to emulate “flinty Chicago toughness.”
“I’m saying when it comes to the weather, folks in Washington don’t seem to be able to handle things,” he concluded.
To be fair, almost every school in the DC area, including all of the VA and MD burbs were canceled except for the DC public schools. Also, the ice was pretty nasty to walk around in this morning but I share in some of the Presidents weather amazement as I have long been amused at the DC media freak out over a few inches of snow accumulation.
The camera focused on some buxom blondes in the stands wearing pink all-star shirts, who soon noticed their appearance on the hi-def Jumbotron and started with the sexy dancing. The camera quickly cut to Ovechkin, who had the "my gawd it's teh hot!!!" expression going, before quickly realizing his oh-face was being viewed by 21,000 fans. Much laughter ensued.
"I didn't think the camera was going to look straight at me," he said after the game, adding that he wasn't embarrassed. Did he feel they were good-looking ladies? "I don't know, I'd have to see them live. They were dancing pretty well."
I want to know where are the pictures of the blonde hockey pooners. No athlete owns DC right now more than Oh Oh Ohhhhhhhhhh Ovie.
