- Apple promoting it’s current executive over Steve Jobs. This is fishy.
- HP’s new printer does not need a PC. Why?
- FTC going after the bloggers and Twitterers.
- Microsoft poaching people left and right. Never works out.
- The Buick is being re-positioned. It is ridiculous.
- Apple bans Commodore 64 from iPhone. Why? Who cares?
- Microsoft will put 10-percent of its income into search. Why?
- Kodachrome is officially dead.
- Sony Blu-ray a dud!

So, what kind of freebies are you getting, John? Free t-shirts from the Republican Party?
No more Kodachrome. That’s sad.
It would be interesting to be able to print from my (insert your favorite hand held device… i.e. Android, Black Berry, iPhone, Kindle, etc.) through the web.
Just think of it as a modern replacement for the FAX machine (email not withstanding.)
It would be similar to how VOIP, SKYPE, and Digital Voice systems are beginning to replace plain old telephone services.
Let’s just hope that SPAM doesn’t find it’s way to your “web enabled” printer… I wonder if JCD will still GET NO SPAM?
Cheers!

Jobs had a liver transplant. I think it has occurred to somebody that he just might up and die and they need to be set for when he can’t tell everybody what to do all the time.
I guess the new printer is more or less a long distance color fax machine if you need one of those that can also print material sent from a computer over the internet but I agree this is a niche market at best.
Agree about the commodore. People know they are on a leash ending in a choke collar.
I guess Jobs summed up blue ray. It’s a can of worms and not that many people want to mess with the worms just to see high def and a lot of companies like Apple don’t want to mess with the DRM crap either.
If they had left out most of the DRM crap people might have gone with it.
I think it would have sold though to be honest I think HD-DVD might have been a more attractive option in the long run to end users because they at least had their act together on standards but crappy wood sold out to blue ray when it was still half baked and went for all the DRM they could think off without regard for the end user or manufacturer experience and fell on their own swords;stupid.
Oh John, you’ve been beating that “blu-ray’s a dud” horse for far too long.
As a avid collector of movies, I purchased more VHS than laser discs, more laser discs than SD DVDs, and more SD DVDs than Blu-Ray DVDs.
I haven’t purchased a DVD (SD or Blu-Ray) in two years. Why? Amazon, iTunes, Netflix, Hulu, etc…
DVD is going the way of VHS and printed newspapers….
Well John, if you want to build some conspiracy theories: if I was a little agency with no real super powers and was facing some cuts for the real work I actually did — wouldn’t it be nice to find a new revenue stream by fining hundreds or thousands of companies and individuals for not disclosing their industry ties?
Just saying. Watch out for those chartreuse FTC helicopters.
Don’t worry, John. I’m sure the FTC isn’t targeting people, just like you.
On the other hand, they may come after people who protest too much…
🙂
I like Jim’s theory.
