T-Mobile doesn't know how to treat its customers

It looks like T-Mobile dropped their data plan from $29.99/mo to $19.99/mo. I originally thought this was related to the new unlimited rate plans and losing the Starbucks account , but it was actually back in September (on my birthday no less). I must have missed it at the time, given that whole wedding...

When will the NFL Network standoff end?

Like so many others , I was furious when I couldn't watch the Packers-Cowboys games a few weeks back. The NFL Network is only carried on satellite which is simply not an option for many of us in urban areas like NYC. For those who haven't been paying attention, there's been a long-running...

Taking on WestLaw and LexisNexis

Carl Malamud is taking on WestLaw and LexisNexis . Carl Malamud has this funny idea that public domain information ought to be... well, public. He has a history of creating public access databases on the net when the provider of the data has failed to do so or has licensed its data only to a private...

The Hypocrisy of Live Earth

I'm with Fred on this one - the Live Earth is disgusting and self-serving. As Arctic Monkey drummer Matt Helders said, "Especially when we're using enough power for 10 houses just for (stage) lighting. It'd be a bit hypocritical." The hypocrisy doesn't end there. How many people...

The Sopranos Series Finale

I never thought we were going to get closure, but perhaps the issue was that we got too much of it. A lot of it just felt, for a lack of a better word, cheesy to me. Complex story lines that were developed over several years were tied up with amazing ease, especially the whole feud with NY. (They went...

Refocusing Net Neutrality

Awhile back, I echoed the electricity analogy : the problem is that the "telecoms are threatening to charge a premium for how the utility is used, instead of how much of it is used." Someone from the Hands Off the Internet Coalition commented on that post. Tim, the analogy is flawed and doesn't make...

Blogs are "definitely not reputable news sources"

Jawn Murray, a columnist for AOL's Black Voices and a regular personality on the Tom Joyner Morning Show , had this gem in the latest Giant magazine. Blogs are online diaries written by your average Joe - people who don't work in the entertainment industry and have no formal journalism training. They...
