As many of you know that listen to my show you have been hearing me complain about the amount of Spam I have been getting. I have been looking all over the net for a solution and those that I found where either too expensive or they were made for people with small volumes of mail.
I am Sorry but Apple has lost it’s way big time! Today when I tried to find some podcast in the iTunes directory, it was nearly impossible to find the shows that I was looking for.
Seems everyday that their is a new article on on Google Adsense Policy, a new article out today calls into question some of the advertisers that are clearly abusing the system. Personally I have been battling companies targeting this site as well.
A TiVo Series Three Receiver was on my shopping list for this Christmas season. I have been watching the reviews of the unit and the new C|Net review of the Series III that I saw today makes me wonder if I should take the unit off my wish list.
The author of the Read /Write Weblog says that 2007 will be a big year for RSS. Personally I am not as optimistic, but I have been wrong before. His reckoning is that because IE7 will have RSS integrated the masses not using RSS to get content will essentially see the light and join the party.

If it is not self evident already with all of the deals being signed but it is pretty apparent that YouTube is about to become a mecca for commercial content.

The premises of this post is to ask you to consider why the United States barely made the Top 5 list. The questions to ponder is it because the telco industry has been slow to roll out access? Is it because the United States has a large rural population? Is it because that companies like Sprint, Verizon, Cingular have a very hard time getting licenses to put you transmission towers? Is it because these other countries have been quicker to adopt Fiber to the Curb?

My good friends 1.65 Billion is an amazing amount of money? Talk about the venture firms and creators of the site cashing in this is defnitley the deal of the year. We all know Video has been hot but wow. It will be interesting to see how they get their money back on this one. [CNN]
In what I can only describe as sure stupidity on a judge’s part it seems that one of the organizations that keep a lot of Spam out of your inbox may be in trouble over a recent lawsuit. It seems after being sued by an accused spammer and then not showing up for the court case they lost by default.
