That is what he has always done and no one expected anything else.<BR/><BR/>Waxman is grandstanding, egocentric bully with unlimited resources.

I'm often skeptical about stories that originate on blogs, Slashdot, Digg,and I've certainly caught bloggers with similar resources to mine (none) making serious factual errors. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, how much do I trust CNN or Fox News?<BR/><BR/>"Fair and Balanced" is a modern concept I think. Before the mid twentieth century I don't think newspapers would have been embarrassed to be called conservative or liberal. They made no pretense about it.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we are moving back in that direction on the Internet at least, where people stake out their position on the political spectrum and only present the news from that one viewpoint. I have no problem with that, as long as they do it openly. To get balance, you simply read from several sources.BP/CMBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16570427618324025947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685878.post-46747604419872614532007-10-17T11:16:00.000-04:002007-10-17T11:16:00.000-04:002007-10-17T11:16:00.000-04:00There has always been a "chicken little" view of new media--FM was going to make the sky fall on AM--television would make the sky fall on radio--next cable on television and then internet on them all.<BR/>The new ways of media are historically evolutionary, not revolutionary--AM radio can still be a good business. <BR/>What is so intriguing about the tools and platforms we have today is how it will be used to generate the revenue to support information gathering and story telling. <BR/>We all recall the early internet content debates over "push" vs. "pull"--in fact users want a bit of both.Bob Reichblumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685878.post-39287659570755771282007-10-11T16:42:00.000-04:002007-10-11T16:42:00.000-04:002007-10-11T16:42:00.000-04:00I think that the thing that bothers me the most about Facebook too is that you have to have your real name. I was actually talking to somebody about that today. And how would you go about changing your real name to a fake name? I love it on Facebook only because it gives me the power to see people I used to go to highschool with and send emails to my neighbor that just lives across the hall from me...But you have a lot very good valid points. Thanks for telling me how much I need a life. :)JC Carvillhttp://www.cosmosing.com/jeanclaudecarvill/index.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685878.post-56611462857791351282007-10-06T00:32:00.000-04:002007-10-06T00:32:00.000-04:002007-10-06T00:32:00.000-04:00Well I must say I'm delighted, but surprised, since in the C-Span interview he made it sound like a return to radio was not likely in the near term. Maybe the idea of a weekly show appealed to him, although I really liked the nightly format as it filled a vast void in the offerings of the MSM.<BR/><BR/>Interestingly when I heard that Drudge was going it occurred to me that JB would make an excellent replacement. The earlier time slot is even better.BP/CMBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16570427618324025947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685878.post-69943932348000727122007-10-05T23:39:00.000-04:002007-10-05T23:39:00.000-04:002007-10-05T23:39:00.000-04:00It's baaaaaack...<BR/><BR/>:-)<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.loftusreport.com/2007/10/05/the-return-of-john-batchelor-to-the-wabc-lineup/" REL="nofollow">The return of John Batchelor to the WABC lineup!</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685878.post-45116257640457412602007-10-04T13:42:00.000-04:002007-10-04T13:42:00.000-04:002007-10-04T13:42:00.000-04:00Steve, let me just say that as much as I've put you down in the past you have a very informative website.

I advocate open source (free as in free speech) because I' have seen the amazing results achieved by it. I'm not against proprietary software in general, but having been burned many many times, I'm very leery of using it when I don't have to (and I find these days that I rarely have to).<BR/><BR/>What irks me about the Microsoft approach (and there is nothing new about it nor did Microsoft invent it) is the bait and switch aspects of it: Here is something for free. Get started using it and when you run into a roadblock, send us money and we'll send you the full version.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, every product developed with either version of this software drives people to use Windows. As far as I know you can't develop Linux software with it right? Like so much of what MS does, this is "Gateway drug" technology. Get 'em hook in the grade school schoolyard and by the time they get to high school they'll be robbing grannies to buy the hard stuff.<BR/><BR/>If MS REALLY believed in this product there would be no free version. 90-day free trial, sure, but if you are going to develop software with it, you pay. They can add to the license that you have to do all your work standing on your head for all I care, because I'd just as soon people not get hooked using this stuff. There are open source tools that can be used to develop cross-platform applications, there are web development tools that take the Operating System out of the equation (of course the MS web development tools mysteriously only produce IE compatible pages).<BR/><BR/>I like using Linux, and I like using OS X and maybe one day I'll like using Windows again, but it will be due to Windows merits (security, stability, and yes, price) not because a herd of sycophants with MSDN and MCSE certificates (been there done that) are only developing for the one platform.<BR/><BR/>What was noteworthy to me on this story was not the factual details that you alluded to (some of which are still in question it appears) but the fact that on one of Microsoft's own developer's blogs there would be so little support for the company, even among what would normally be a loyal developer base. Looks to me like a lot of people are bailing out on the MS lock-in paradigm.<BR/><BR/>And I'm thrilled!BP/CMBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16570427618324025947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685878.post-75087621831630168152007-06-03T12:57:00.000-04:002007-06-03T12:57:00.000-04:002007-06-03T12:57:00.000-04:00Just came across your post.

Clearly "entities" are keeping track of what we do, and the more people learn about the extent of it the more they will probably want to have a say in it.<BR/><BR/>At some point (soon or passed) this will have to be explained so that those unfamiliar with XML, RSS and even cookies will understand it. <BR/><BR/>My analogy is the little key tag I scan in at the grocery store. Even if I pay in cash, it gives them a key field in which they can update a database regarding my buying habits. In exchange I get a few dollars off (sometimes a significant percentage of the total).<BR/><BR/>People mostly understand these existing systems and are either indifferent to it or dead set against it. It will be harder to get average users ramped up on the Internet equivalent.
