On the MacGuffin your Internet use will be completely defined by Cingular, which is signing up sites to provide basic service. It's not like a PC. There will be no such thing as network neutrality with the iPhone. A site that does not have a specific service agreement with Cingular won't reach your iPhone, or will have its service severely degraded.
Instead of complaining, bloggers need to get back to work, and on the whole most are doing that. And you need to get back to work -- reading, thinking, linking, recommending, writing. This is the biggest change of the next Political Thesis, the Internet or Open Source Thesis I have been talking about here for most of the last year.
Jobs probably won't make that big mistake of leaving the business he knows best. But he still has no successor. Not a big deal when you're as young as we are (52) but where is the next Jobs? And do you want to buy a company that doesn't have one?
Movement conservatism, as presently practiced, has become a utopian ideology. You can see it every day, in the writings of both conservative leaders and their followers on the blogosphere. Leaders are followed absolutely until they can no longer be defended. And at that point it is the leader who failed. Never conservatism.
A year or so ago this video would have been Torrented and there would be nothing the judge could do -- word of it could spread via e-mail, people would transfer it PC to PC, and there would be no way to track, no one to punish.
The findings indicate you'll get faster dosing on sites that are used, like biceps and active thighs, and slower uptake on areas that don't move, like the back or the head. The findings also indicate that those with active lifestyles will dose themselves with a bucky-patch faster than those who are sedentary.
Just as the excess of unity set against the backdrop of an unpopular war led to peace, love and dope 40 years ago, so it leads today, on the right, to hate speech. Because dominance of the mass media is an important element in the Nixon Thesis (control it while still treating it like an enemy, the same as is done in journalism and government) a lot of this nonsense gets played before a mass audience.
We have to separate those who want to join the 21st century from those who wish to destroy it, isolate those true enemies, and either convert them, coerce them, or confront them.
Most nations of the world are now reproducing at a less-than replacement rate. They're getting older. This means there are fewer young people to care for the aging. We need help, the kind of help that technology can provide us.
The when you live in is very important, in measuring whether the myths and values you hold dear are still relevant. Erick Erickson's myths and values are not. He is yesterday's man.
