Iphones Bricked by Update

LOL - With all the drm laden Zunes being sold this season and secret updates from Microsoft the national technology news is about hackers having handcuffed Iphones after an Apple Update.

Why is this News.

Cellphones ARE NOT UBIQUITOUS , smart phones even less so.

Only a small percentage of people will hack there device, most knowing full well that the device may become damaged even with out the COMPANY saying so.
Its crying wolf when its just a shadow or tumble weed.

Technology updates are a fact of the life cycle of software as well as hardware.
Apple is in no trouble or -in an Un-Winnable War- this is just hype there is no substance to it.

CNet and Ziff Davis will tweek this as will all the anti-apple crowd. Its just sour grapes cause they did not do it first.

Scatter Shot Media Rant 1.0

Oh Dear, NBC dumped Itunes , while Viacom smartens up with a profit sharing deal with SouthPark creators.

The big fear of FCC spectrum re-distribution that media giants have avoided for 30 years is now coming to pass. This makes wireless broadcasting viable for anyone

  • Why give NBC only one channel in NYC, why not give them as many channels as they can fill.
  • SO NBC had another venue to get there content viewed, which they got paid for over and above there general distribution costs with free advertising from apple.
  • People where only a phone line can reach could still enjoy these high resolution value added content pieces , NBC makes money and gains exposure. Win Win
  • Thick headed Accounting executives seem to forget the bottom line is to bring a customer back, folks dont come back means investors are unhappy.
  • 2 dollars vs 3 dollars seems like a small amount to a movie or TV executive, to most folks i know thats 1 more dollar extra for food for the kids. Just because some can pay more does that mean all the rest be damned.
Arggh

Better written version by J.h at ilounge
Even today, I think it’s on the fine edge of foolish, and all it would take is one really dumb move by your company and I’d stop paying to watch your shows.
Another write up
NBC Now Offers TV Shows on Amazon's Unbox
With TV shows essentially a "free" commodity that flows into viewers homes via a subscription fee they are already paying to cable providers, it's ludicrous to ask people to then shell out $5 bucks an episode - especially when people can find them for nothing at all on P2P and file-sharing networks.

OMG Warner-Bush pulls classic Spector-Bush Tactic

Media drools again over pointless gop misdirection

Fool me once shame on you
fool me twice shame on me
fool me 3 times and i am a fool!!

The media has proven again what fools they are and the Bush Dog democrats are proving to be just as foolish.

MSM fawns over GOP token
Warner Calls For Withdrawal!...Of Only 5,000 Troops | TPMCafe
5,000 troops? This is speaking out in favor of withdrawal? Warner said the surge has produced momentum in our favor



Firedoglake - Firedoglake weblog » Happy Trials To You…


And worse, we now know that the CIA more than five years ago sent a memorandum to the WH stating that the majority of the detainees in Guantanamo ”didn’t belong there.” I hope
to get more on the particulars of the brief filings on this case once they are docketed, but the Suspension Clause arguments alone with regard to habeas corpus ought to be instructive — not just for the Court


This of course is of little interest to the media cause they would not be treated as such.

BAGHDAD, Aug. 23 — The number of Iraqis fleeing their homes has soared since the American troop increase began in February,

MSM Sucks Again and Again and Again

Froomkin -

Bush's most controversial assertion -- that U.S. troops could have prevailed in Vietnam had they stayed longer -- is a neoconservative fantasy that almost all historians ridicule.


MSM Sucks 08-23

Democratic Caucus's Senate Journal - Senator Harry Reid, Majority Leader
Today, President Bush used yet another historical comparison to try to boost sagging support for his Iraq War strategy. But no matter what comparison he uses, it does not change the fact that Iraq is going through its bloodiest summer yet,

President compares Vietnam, Iraq wars - The Boston Globe
"I couldn't believe it," said Allan Lichtman, an American University historian, adding that far more Vietnamese died during the war than in the aftermath of the US withdrawal.
This is the 5th graph down the page - there is no way -if you read the first 4 graphs only -to see there is any opposition to the ideas at all.
Forget war pullout, Bush tells Vietnam veterans

A Republican source said White House strategists, believing anti-war Democrats will liken Iraq to the Vietnam War "quagmire," launched a preemptive strike "to inoculate Bush."

Bush gambles with Vietnam reference over Iraq | Iraq | Guardian Unlimited
Mr Bush's speech came on the day that the US suffered one of its highest daily death tolls since the 2003 invasion, with 14 troops killed when a Black Hawk helicopter crashed.

"perhaps only as a receiver of leads from the NSA -- perhaps as a partner in the government's alleged data-mining of U.S. citizens phone and internet usage records."

Don't get your hopes up yet. But the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has told the government that it needs to submit an argument for why the court shouldn't disclose rulings from earlier this year on the warrantless surveillance program

Talking Points Memo | The FISA 'Fix'
When Congress "revised" FISA a few weeks ago, lawmakers gave the White House the unchecked surveillance power Bush wanted -- and then some.

Firedoglake - Firedoglake weblog » More Duplicity in the FISA Stampede
Broad new surveillance powers approved by Congress this month could allow the Bush administration to conduct spy operations that go well beyond wiretapping to include — without court approval

Defense Agency Proposes Outsourcing More Spying - washingtonpost.com
"Mind-blowing," was the reaction of Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, when she learned of the DIA proposal. In a telephone interview, she described it as "definitely something to be concerned about."

Oh Elton - Geriatric King of Media

Fave part of article

But the flamboyant singer has embraced the web in other ways.

The 60th birthday concert Sir Elton played to a 20,000-strong crowd at New York’s Madison Square Garden was streamed live over the internet.

The singer also announced earlier this year that his entire back catalogue of albums would be made available for digital download.


Shorter Elton John -Radio is killing our music and daily life - it pervades all our hours with mediocre schlock and makes the poor kids sit in front of that darn radio and not go out and play. But ill play on your station anyway
