Whenever I visit someone’s myspace, facebook, or linkedin page

Tech writer David Pogue has some good questions:

Some of my favorites:

* Who are the morons who respond to junk-mail offers, buy viagra cialis sale thereby keeping spammers in business?

* How come there are still no viruses for Mac OS X? If it has 6 percent of the market, buy cialis shouldn’t it have 6 percent of the viruses?

* Five billion dollars a year spent on ringtones? What the?

I guess she’s facing the music, now.

A woman sued by the Recording Industry of America and six major music labels for illegally sharing songs over the internet has been ordered to pay $220, cialis sale sildenafil 000 in fines.

The record companies are NOT my favorite people – the phrase “robber barrons” comes to mind – but I loath the idea floating around among younger people that anything digital should be free because making a copy isn’t really “stealing.”

Downloading music, viagra movies, books, or software without compensating the creators is theft pure and simple.

And considering that she’s paying an average of $9,250 dollars per song, that .99 cent price point on iTunes should start looking better to a lot more people in the future.

Journalism or gossip?

Some people think the Internet is our last hope for a free press, viagra generic troche but I sometimes think the Internet is a lot more like a small town in the 1930s: gossipy, cialis generic troche backbiting, full of cliques, rife with backroom politics, hostile beneath the surface, and prone to turning into an ugly mob at the drop of a hat.

I love the Internet, but I think it tends to emphasize our worst tendencies rather than our better ones.

The net is filled with

• Porn (which I like personally, but certainly is not representative of our better natures)
• Extreme politics
• Lies
• Innuendo
• Mob rule
• Personal attacks
• And it’s often a playground for pedphiliacs.

I’m not saying we should get rid of the Net, or police it, or regulate it. I am saying that maybe we have reason to be a little less self-satisfied and smug when crowing about how the Internet is changing the world.

Yes, these are the songs I listen to when writing all these angry posts.

I’ve temporarily added Apple‘s new flash widget that actually tells the world what music and videos I’ve most recently bought from the iTunes store.

I embedded it in this post for you to play with:
