MLB Blackouts
The blackouts are the reason MLB is fighting this. This service will allow people that have been blacked out to view the games by streaming from someplace that hasn't been blacked out.

I live in Northern CA and bought MLB TV, so most of the Giants home games are blacked out locally. I go on a business trip to Chicago. For anybody in Chicago the game is not blacked out (because it's not local), but I still can't watch the game because my account is registered in Northern CA which falls under the blackout rules.

Good test...
and what you would find is that 'yes' the monitor would be 'good enough' until a better monitor could be purchased. Then the old one will be 'good enough' for the wife or the kid to use - and they'll be happy that they got a new monitor =)

Still True
You and your company will be happy that all your branding matches now, but the 10,000 people looking at your site will still care less if the background of your logo is supposed to be Royal Blue and not Sky Blue.

As mentioned above.
It's a typical CONSUMER attitude, not just Windows fans. Do you think the IPod would be as popular if you could only fit 15 songs on a 1Gig drive? Have you ever seen the quality of video on a phone? Yet, it's seems to be the next 'big thing' (even on the all powererful IPhone). If people really cared, Mac would have never lost dominance over M$ in the first place.

Note: I know many more ex-Mac users than ex-Windows users, and I haven't known one to go back yet.

Why?
Most consumers are happy with music and movies that have been reduced in quality (MP3's, XViD, etc...) so why would they care when the same is done with their images? If it was that important to consumers then the move to Macs would have continued years ago.

Record freeze...
in California - 5 days squeezed between the driest January on record and what is on track to be the warmest March on record.

Kind of ironic to me..
In the modding community, it has not been unheard of for a group of modders to be served a Cease and Desist for putting some copyrighted texture (ie Coke sign) in a game to give it more realism. Even though the modders are giving away their mod and getting nothing in return. Now these same companies are paying big bucks to put the same textures in commercial games.

Personally, I'm not fond of ads in games. It's bad enough I get SPAM in my inbox, I don't need in my games too!

Maybe...
Microsoft should be spending more time looking at their own code to prevent these type of vulnerabilities instead of trying to 'look' like the good guy by chasing the culprit down.
