Media Analyst Calls Hulu 'Anti-American' For Providing Free Content
,----[ Quote ]
| We see all sorts of confused analysis when it comes to how "free" works in
| economics -- which goes back to our assertion that the human brain tends to
| run into a mental block when it encounters a zero and rather than recognize
| the rest of the economic equation, it just pops out an error message. That's
| the only explanation I can find for the so-called analysis by Media Metrics'
| Laura Martin of how Hulu is "anti-consumer, anti-media employees, and even
| anti-America" and supposedly putting $300 billion worth of market value "at
| risk" (thanks Ben for sending this in).

Shuttleworth grasps open source political message
,----[ Quote ]
| In his interview today Shuttleworth also said Ubuntu will support GPLv3 and
| was careful not to criticize Linus Torvalds, who supports GPLv2, saying the
| differences in the contracts is more of a kernel issue than anything else.
|
| [...]
|
| But it’s Shuttleworth’s swipes at Microsoft and his rallying of anti-American
| sentiment which I believe will be the headlines, and should be.
