Comcast sues FCC, wants P2P throttling order overturned. This isn't at all surprising. Comcast essentially thumbs their nose at the FCC. As long as their (essentially) a monopoly in most of the markets that they're in, there's not much anybody can really do to stop them.
Of course, in response the head of the FCC is asking some questions... Martin responds to Comcast lawsuit: we still want answers. Some of these answers have been given in the past few weeks. He wants to know what Comcast means by "protocol agnostic management"? (They mean they'll slow all of their customers traffic if they think the user is using up too much bandwidth.) He wants to know about the bandwidth limits, mainly what happens to those who go over the limit and how customers are supposed to know if they're close to the limit? (Reportedly, Comcast won't be supplying a way to check your bandwidth usage. As for people who go over, it's two strikes and then you're cut off from being eligible to use Comcast for internet service for a year.)
Remember kids, bandwidth caps are crap. Once more, with feeling: the internet isn't at risk of running out of bandwidth.
File sharing lawsuits at a crossroads, after 5 years of RIAA litigation. Ugh. I can't even muster up much "screw those guys" nerd rage anymore about the RIAA.
The YouTube Solution. An interesting article that compares movies and TV downloads and streams on the internet to oil.
The 8 most obnoxious internet commenters. We've all seen these people. They're all annoying, but I find #6s to be the most annoying lots of times.
How important is the $199 Xbox 360? Basically, consoles sell best when the prices get reasonably low.
24 spoiler!, Should that matter to you. It's about a returning character. (Not that big of a surprise, really.)
Why the media should apologize. All of these politicians hate it when the media start asking anything but softball questions.
