When you recently spoke about Hulu on your podcast 8-13, I agreed with your statement that Hulu is good, but could be better with better content. What I don’t understand is why you don’t think that idea can apply to advertising? You say the ads are, ‘doable’, ‘not a big deal’, and that you are ‘willing’ to sit through them in order to watch content. Well, lo and behold, I work for an online advertising company that offers a premium advertising experience; a ‘better’ experience. Watch only one ad to receive content and then no more interruptions. It makes sense and it is my preference, I just can’t believe the majority of viewers aren’t asking for it.

Ads that reward

I decided to comment because i’ve noticed all the retards trying to attack you on the comments section, it really is rediculous. Obviously most of these people lack logic and foresight, because most of what you say is dead on.

I totally agree with your opinion on the music industry. I remember before all the DRM stores popped up, which was only recently, how frustrated i was that i could not just buy music and use it on my phone, or send to my friends. I felt trapped like the same feeling i get when Communistic laws pass legislation. A good example is the banning of cell phone usage while driving; I get that same non-free feeling from the Dgiital rights media.

As far as XM and sirius , I think consumers deserve the option of Satellite radio and there is much competition from other media, i cannot see any justification in banning the merger. Maybe back int he Early 00’s it was somewhat logical, but now, they should definitely be allowed to merge.

Thanks for the awesome blogs.

I was set back by your statement, “forced to sit back and wait for something (anything) to happen.”

Is THAT how you solve your problems? No wonder it has been so damn difficult for us activists out here to get the ship of state turned back on course. Where did you get the idea that in life you sit on your ass and wait for someone else to affect the changes you want to see? WHAT is wrong with you?

As for your observations on iPod and the cost of tracks? Why do you think I have a Sansa iPod? I am not going to pay for any tracks. I just put my own music I already have on cd on my personal media “pod” along with films I want to put on it. I download anything from YouTube and like sources, including news and such and put that on my Sansa for free! Only a complete FOOL would ever shell out for an iPod. It has been a scam from it’s inception. If you own one you’re a fool.

A fool who just wanted his own toy while someone else figured out how to fix the system of course.
