Purdue has it's own issues (blocking distribution of the paper) but fortunately they own the printing presses. Helping Indiana print their paper for alumni weekend, driving it to Bloomington, and promoting free speach was a great story for bitter rivals.
EA doesn't seem to have a problem passing on the cost. Their Madden 2005 runs at least $50 vs the new ESPN football at $20. Perhaps ESPN is dumping to get into their franchise started.
The only part I think is interesting is the music sharing part via rendevous. I may be able to see other people's list from within my company? Too bad no-one else uses a mac. ;-)
The problem that I face is not disk space, the scrutiny of having a list of what I like to watch. Whether it's my wife wondering if I am really going to watch the football post-game show (and then un-scheduling it), or whether guests might be offended if they see Howard Stern in our "Now Playing List".
Congrats Mike. This is well deserved props. You should ask if you can use that tag-line about the bosses reading techdirt. Actually that kinda sounds like your writing... hmmm ;-)
1. One sloppy technology mudfight. 2. We're turning the web into a giant mudpit! 3. Spitting in the wind and ducking. 4. We can't sellout fast enough. 5. Mike and his minions...
Pretty sweet article for AC TR&D. It is true that the big players (Fortune 500) do not feel comfortable dealing with the smaller consulting firms. BTW... I know Martin pretty well, and the MySite project that he is talking about was one of mine. (So I guess I am a little biased)

Spam not popups
I recieved an email for a buy-one-get-one-free big mac yesterday. I guess they are using spam over pop-ups.

yea-but-does it have-a-nail-gun
I'm betting on John Carmack (Doom, Quake, XDarwin) fame and his team at Armadillo Aerospace. Does this guy have a band?

No Subject Given
I thought the same thing. Hmmm... must be true.
Re: Same new Apple
Don't get me wrong. I am a huge Apple fan, and can't wait to get my hands on one of those G4's. I have also pre-ordered OS9 for my two macs.

Yahoo Browser integration
Yahoo has already integrated its portal into the browser. It's called the yahoo companion. Pretty cool especially the networked bookmarks.
