The 'wisdom of the crowds' is the most ridiculous statement I've heard in my life. Crowds are dumb.

Journalism is straying into entertainment. The lines between serious news segments, news entertainment, and news comedy are blurring.

I think anytime you start relying on a format to get you by you've got weak material to begin with.

Personally I'm hoping to spend the last years of my life plugged into a real life MMORPG simulation that makes me think and feel like I'm 18 again while my 90 year old body lies in a tube somewhere getting fed thru an IV. Be a great way to finish up a life.

Don't fight the patent, fight the infringement.

Most people I've talked to are convinced that they're not getting valuable information from news media anymore. I'm not talking about tinfoil-hatters either, these are intelligent people who believe their news media has failed them.

If I see anything remotely like a telcom-run faster internet that you have to pay more to get preferential traffic on, I'm out folks. I've seen this story before, I ran an ISP back in the late 90s.
