Very comprehensive review Jesse. Great stuff.

The power of an early and open api combined with companies seeking to find the solutions we all need to market our brands.

in The empire strikes back: Hulu blocks RSS access for Boxee on VentureBeat
No one's "cutting the hand that feeds them."

Sad to see the only people defending Hulu's outrageous actions seem to be pre law students or paid Hulu staff.

As a avid supporter of Hulu, this is a reflection on management and guiding principles. I think it's safe to start looking elsewhere. The networks should be on alert - the audience will move. We're not sheep.

in On Republicans, God, and Religion: A Jewish Perspective on NextGenGOP.com | The Future of the Republican Party
I think someone missed the pro Israel part of the blog.

Jews by origin (what you're calling nationality) (which is a definition by the UN... in what? 1987 or something... something not recognized by intellectual people of faith like myself) still vote Democrat.

Faith and all this hogwash have nothing to do with the issue being discussed on Aaron's blog. I would strongly encourage you to read the blog instead of Aaron's faith.

The domination of what you're calling "religion" (which is actually hard-lined social conservative single issue voters) is what has now made us entirely uncompetitive.

The base's far end is going to have to realize that there is an appropriate way to court certain voters. Moderates, minorities, independents, and the educated aren't running to a single issue.

The base is the new minority and as such will have to get used to a changing message.

Could Mike be worried that him owning the lion share of relevant searches might go away with the power resting with the people?

Darcy claims to be a pro woman's Representative. Why did she REFUSE to endorse the most important female in the HISTORY of the Democratic Party? Was this politics?

in Pondering Gay Marriage in California on ETC: Everyday Thoughts Collected
@Randy Like I said... I don't see marriage as a right. I did say it was a privilege, however you can be second class in this nation (as history proves) and it deal with socio-economic status - which is altogether not guaranteed by our social contract. It is second class to be denied certain privileges all to which depend on gender, preference, or thought.
I am no moral relativist... but I am a citizen of a society that believes in no one view.
The national debater in me wants to say: let's have a definition debate before we get into the substance... b/c everyone is talking different languages.
Also on an issue that is thrown in there, but shouldn't be: Jesus. Jesus wouldn't advocate against gays marrying by the state accommodation.

I'm welcoming it at this point. Paypal just pissed me off. I have to FAX them my private information to spend/send/receive MY money.

All because I didn't login for a while. Stupid. I have my information, my password, everything.

I honestly think Gay Marriage has never been and will never be the threat the far right makes it out to be. Took me a long time to reconcile the thought, but when it came down to it... there isn't a logical moral or religious argument for it (assuming you like being in a pluralistic society) and there is absolutely no legal argument opposed to "gay" "marriage."
I hate calling them "gay rights." They are privileges, however they are privileges are ever progressing society has granted to a certain class of citizens. It's against the law and inhumane to deny privileges with legal protections, benefits, and guarantees to supposed second class citizens.
The Republican Party will get right or ship out. I for one beg my party to reconsider.

in Why Microsoft will buy Facebook and keep it closed on Scobleizer
I honestly think you're going to far my friend.

Let's trust the market and let the web users decide. We're relatively educated... and when we're not: there's a digg post to educate.

Haven't you heard the latest news: Microsoft is proposing a joint venture with Yahoo, not a takeover. The bid has been withdrawn for some time now.

Facebook is choosing to stay closed. I would. It's in their best interest (relatively).

poor blogging. Where does the site state it's a social network?

Do you know what a social network is?

But TechCrunch is dominating America and France... probably everywhere else too. Not to mention the lack of commenting on this site. Is this a hollow tube?

I basically hate all this speculation. Let the WSJ and its sources cover it.
