The rest of us also find this hilarious, but for different reasons.

Not France. Nor Poland. Austria is right out.

Right, because RCA TVs and Apple iPhones are absolutely comparable. They both display moving images. They both play sound. And they are both internet-connected devices running software written and updated by a single party. That party maintains a persistent connection to them, and has an avowed interest in becoming a media distribution power. Oh, wait.

I am not suggesting that Apple will literally play streaming video over all these devices. However, it's an interesting way to think about the vested power here. They have 90 million devices that they essentially own in everyone's pockets, backpacks and living rooms. They are one update, one App Store app, away from becoming bigger than all four broadcast networks at their peak.

You were saying?

Or shooting them?

You joke, but check out this cool project to add real time imagery into Google Earth:

My last-minute slap-dash entry (it didn't get picked, and no wonder) does more or less what you want: http://yournearby.com/budget/

Kilobit isn't a speed rate. Kilobits per second is a speed rate. A kilobit is just a small unit of data.

Let's be clear. YouTube isn't set to post anything, let alone a loss. Google as a whole will post huge profits again, albeit below last year, and that will be that.

It's only buzz if you use it that way.

I can develop an app to crowdsource movie recommendations using Agile methodologies and heavy automation with SOAP communication between layers.

If I wrote a few paragraphs concerning this project these words would have far more meaning within the context of the description. This is a valid use of the word "crowdsourcing," because it's within the context of a real project and it communicates a real concept.

Thanks Microsoft for thoughtfully protecting all the Zunes from this outbreak.
