What the heck, the more people who think they are elite/great/expert you get in a room the more strange and useless the ideas that will come out.
What are you selling to me and why are you taking so long to sell it?
This is not 1950's.. if the spot was turned into mini spots, shot in sepia and white then maybe the concept had a chance, BUT NO we get ramble for to many seconds to care.
First Bee movie.. now this Jerry what happened to you.

The ARPANET computer network made a large contribution to the development of e-mail. There is one report[32] that indicates experimental inter-system e-mail transfers on it shortly after its creation, in 1969. Ray Tomlinson initiated the use of the @ sign to separate the names of the user and their machine in 1971.[33] The ARPANET significantly increased the popularity of e-mail, and it became the killer app of the ARPANET.

HEADLINE- NBC, News Corp. Threaten Apple With Hulu
If anything the threat would be to Apples itunes store component NOT APPLE ipods or computers.
COPY- NBC and News Corp. on Monday launched in beta an video service that offers ad-supported video and feature films, a model that undercuts the buying of TV shows and movies through services like Apple iTunes.
The article clearly AVOIDS the fact that DRM - Not copyable or kill code - is to be added to all these shows or that a good deal of Apple content is freely available without ads. We are talking about a crippled player and crippled plug-in.
Yet the story cheers this NEW HuLu service thats going to UNDERCUT Apple. How is a second rate - late to the ball park - content distribution software system going to undercut Apple. What business expert decided that for this article?
This story is just NBC - Fox Hype.
Fox and Universal are proving to be very bull headed in their iron grip over content.
Thats not the way things seem to be heading.

TITLE-Universal Takes Aim at iTunes; Can "Free" Music Work?-
It looks like the music industry may beat European regulators to the punch in loosening Apple's grip on the digital music market.
In an agressive twist on Apple's model of making their bucks off iPods rather than 99-cent iTunes tracks, Universal Music will launch a new music subscription service, dubbed Total Music, which could be "free".
BusinessWeek has a story — “Universal Music Takes on iTunes”1 — regarding a supposed proposal from Universal Music chief Doug Morris to create a music-industry-owned subscription service called Total Music. BusinessWeek twists the story into pretzel-like contortions to present this scheme as clever and reasonableSphere: Related Content
For someone who JUST runs an entertainment company as NBC has had little real news for years....Jeff Zucker WANTS a lot of things
He wants alleged intellectual property violations to take center stage at all levels of government, from the White House
He wants advertisers and credit card companies to stop providing "financial support" to Web sites
And he wants Internet service providers, university network operators, user-generated content sites, search engines, auction Web sites and even consumer electronics and home networking device manufacturers to install filtering technologies designed to detect and block unauthorized copyright content.
Copyright holders are "losing the battle" against piracy, at the expense of economic security and public health, and will never prevail unless a wide swath of governments and industries gets proactive, NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker said Wednesday.

Stor-E-Tella: I know NOTHING... by bill Gates
Stor-E-Tella: Cnet luvs microsoft
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.
Sorry Fox News people , media giants and other Backwards thinking dolts, i have used mov, mp3 for 15 years or now mp4 , quicktime player comes on my macintosh's...Why would i go out of my way to install a plug-in for a Microsoft proprietary format i have hated from its early days.
But i still love to go to there pages with out the plug ins to see how ugly they are or how much they break for NON-windoz users.
The fox video player is funny - just a sideway scroll bar that does not work shows up.
Ohh - make me come back
UPDATE
Ohhh take more control of my choice and pc

For up to 7 days and it kills its self?
Vice president runs the country through the hiding of documents.The presidents top aid practicing his hobby of minority voter suppression AND knowingly destroying historical records on a regular basis. Bush with the help of the -Not Patriot Act- and ATT has been going on a wild goose chase through our private conversations in search of terror.
So whats the NEWS for a weekend where reports are of the most US deaths months?
In one REPORT on the London bombing attempts the ugly mouth piece thats andrea mitchell said al qeida over 9 times even though they have not identified the exact terror group.
Failed to mention that Ben Ladin has been on the Afghanistan Pakistan border from the 1990s and car bombs have been a staple of the anti-isreal movement for years
No matter the bogus cry of -fight them there so they dont come here- we have known the bad guys have been and are here.
I feel not safer today then i did last week or last year or before 9-11.
UPDATE
BRITS see the BS too!!!
The Daily Dish -
Staying Calm and Carrying On
Luv is Blind - this is stupid.
so a Gigabeat S with 60gig gets a rating of 7 from cnet uk , the new zune ( read microsoft repackaged version of the tosiba Gigabeat ) with 30 gig gets an 8 rating.
HUH???? Talk about Kool-aid drinkers
So poor marketplace integration - drm wrapped wi-fi files, only 30 gig and a 79 points equals 99 cents sales pitch is so worth adding that extra point.
