Golden Gate Bridge: Fastrak & Tolls & Insanity

Irony of the day.
You can't change your creditcard info for fastrack online or via email.
You can't even see what cc they're billing. It isn't indicated on the billing statement either.
You have to fax or mail them your acct # and updated card info!
Most galling of all- they say it's in order to prevent fraud!!
They've really got their market figured out. People who are trying to use technology to shave seconds off of their commute really have the patience to lick a stamp. That is one confused enterprise.
And godaddy.com is even worse, avoid like the plague.

Top of Mind: Podcasting Offers A Sound Technique

Mentions karmabanque as an "Alternative take on business and financial news." HA! Alternative indeed! Obviously, this guy didn't listen to a show.

I helped them set up their podcast and promoted it on podcast alley by taking advantage of the fact that it could be classified under business where there are virtually no other podcasts, then got it a couple votes and boom, they're number one on podcast alley business (haven't checked in a while, this may have changed).

Jotspot

Wow.

Jotspot is a huge leap forward in user created web apps. It's like a greatest hits of productivity web apps (too many to list), but the real prize is the customizability.

Makes basecamp look pretty weak. But watchout, when they say "beta" they mean it, it's got bugs a plenty.

Napster To Go: Review and Features Guide - Engadget - www.engadget.com

Napster sounding rough, not too surprising- always a price to pay for rushing to market
I like this quote though:
Music no longer need be seen as an object, when it can more accurately be described as an experience. The iTunes pay-per-download model is still an object model. The Napster To Go model is an experience model, and some people are really going to dig that.

The New York Times > Business > Media & Advertising > Big Investment in Comcast Doubles Buffett's Holding

This is interesting. The two smartest investors are both backing cable (and shorting the dollar). Do they know something I don't? Probably. But I'm gonna play devil's advocate anyway.
If people like their VOIP, then that is bad news for phone companies, but isn't their a latency issue?
Also, I don't think IPTV is 4 or 5 years away. I think that it is like 2 years away. Regardless, those 40% margins are coming down (yay) which isn't good for either industry's bottom lines. Satellite and phone compliment eachother pretty well to compete against cable. Throw Tivo and strangeberry in and you've got a contender.

I don't buy my arguments either, but I would avoid this fray altogether, just too hard to tell who (if either) is gonna win. I hope it's Municipal Wi-Max. Get something for them tax dollars. I'd save so much on Internet and Cable, I could buy a fancy Wi-Max phone and get rid of landline and cell phone. woohoo
