Online Television

Aug 23 2011 Published by under Business,Web

I can’t wait for online television to kill off cable. Cable companies run rackets and have terrible customer service.

That said, I can’t wait for online television to get it right.

I’m cheap and don’t want to pay for online television, but I will once it eclipses cable (and it is at the tipping point).

Fox is one company that is hurting the experience for those who don’t want to pay by delaying the availability of new episodes for an extended period of time. The result? Increased piracy.

The annoying thing is that the solution is already available. The value of online ads has to surpass the value of a general commercial on the old telly. With online television I get my shows when I want them, and Fox should be able to send me extremely targeted advertisements. The market will eventually realize the value of those advertisements, ergo Fox gets its money, there is less piracy, and I get my shows when I want them.

Boom.

Why I don’t like Michele Bachmann

Aug 15 2011 Published by under Politics

This post is going to be my go-to index containing videos and text that support my view that Michele Bachmann is not fit to run a country. This is a live document.

-She’s fervently against gay marriage while claiming she doesn’t want government to interfere with people’s personal lives.

-She wanted to avoid raising the debt ceiling at the cost of America not being able to pay its bills.

-Lies about family reunion and consistently late?

-She represents the tea party which is a joke.
