venomous porridge - I’ll save you some time
"Look, TV executives. I get that you’re not prepared for online distribution. I get that. I mean, the Internet just got sprung on all of us a month ago — it’s not like it’s been around for forty years, in people’s homes for almost two decades, and capable of streaming high-quality video to mass audiences since, I don’t know, 2006. And I realize you have nothing to worry about, since there are no reports of hundreds of thousands of people dropping their cable subscriptions like rabid hamsters or anything."<br />
<br />
Fantastic article about the shortcomings of internet on TV, specifically Hulu's "Plus" offering.

moot wins, Time Inc. loses « Music Machinery
A team of pranksters found a way to control the Time top 100 influential people list... I guess this demonstrates that they are in-fact "influential"...
