    In reply to WSJ: Apple's Plan to Kill Cable With iTunes (And the Tablet's Coming in March)
    Why would I pay for something that's free? That's just stupid. With my Tivo I can record and watch broadcast shows anytime I want.

    What Apple SHOULD do is to offer a la carte service for those cable channels so that we can really get rid of cable TV. Most people don't want or need to pay for 200 channels. Give me a few select HD channels and I'm happy as a clam.

    So would it be streaming or drm'd downloads?

    Google wanted to change their name to "gulp". That was the deal breaker.

    I think AOL may be the most likely non-Google destination; it fits in well with their plan and portfolio.

    (Hey, remember when we used to include Ask in the list of competitors? Me neither.)

    A few years down the road, Yelp is REALLY going to regret walking away from this half-billion dollar offer....once the company fizzles out

    @Mikestan: You must be doing something wrong then. For restaurants, yelp is fantastic.

    To this day, I really haven't been let down by the reviews in my area (Tampa/St.pete FL). Been adding my own for almost a year now. Has also helped me find a bunch of great little places I never would have found otherwise.

    Nice to see Techcrunch has a policy of gambling on potential employee dismemberment, kind of puts the Apple Gestapo article into perspective.

    In reply to The Google Phone's Alter Ego: A Lame Christmas Bonus
    Lame? A $600+ unlocked smartphone, pre-release. One of the fastest and most advanced smartphones on the market. Much better than my Christmas bonus.

    OK, I can understand if you need the money to buy your kid some toys for Christmas.

    That's cute.

    I love when people cry about not getting their bonus.

    The fact that people *expect* a bonus, is just ridiculous and defeats the purpose of a bonus.

    This is not the year to complain about not getting a bonus. I'm used to generous year-end profit-sharing bonuses from my company, and this year for the first time... no profit, thus no bonus.

    Could be worse.

    @frigg: Correct, you are not allowed to sell the devices, they are serialized. Family members may be given the device. Same thing that happened last year.
