Why sponsored users won't work.







Why sponsored users won't work.

Why sponsored users won't work. 05/18/2004 09:10 PM

No new users have been able to create accounts since the infamous "Photoshop Rusty's wife onto a porn image" incident. I wasn't here for this wonderful little piece of K5 history, but when I did come back imagine my surprise at seeing Rusty's solution! To put my viewpoint forward quite simply: Rusty's idea of user sponsorship just isn't going to work.

Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much
Towards Work
11/14/2003 02:51 PM
One of the downsides to the fact that people can work whenever they want is that it's sometimes hard for people to stop working. According to a study done in Europe, many overly stressed out workers are asking their bosses to cut their hours and salary just to gain back some control over their lives. Meanwhile, many bosses in IT are increasingly worried that their staff is going to burn out. Of course, a lot of that could be solved if companies hired more people, but they still seem hesitant to do so.

Sponsored VoIP?


Sponsored VoIP? 11/05/2003 02:55 AM
Just this morning we were talking about how price wars were pushing the price of VoIP lower and lower. So, it shouldn't be any surprise that some are experimenting with completely different business models around the idea of free VoIP. Up in Canada, Labatt Brewery decided to give everyone free VoIP calls, in exchange for a 10 second commercial about Labatt. The company that provided the VoIP service (it was a limited time promotion) is talking to other retailers about doing a similar sort of deal. It doesn't take much of an imagination to see how the ability for a company to brand VoIP could really disrupt the telecom world even more than expected. Suddenly, it won't be Verizon competing against Vonage - but Wal*Mart or Microsoft or Google... Already we have the MVNO concept in the wireless carrier world, where a company like Virgin can offer mobile phone service just by slapping their brand on a wireless carrier's service - so imagine the same thing in the VoIP world as well.

It was quashed after an appeal was launched by several major retailers, including Future Shop and Wal-Mart. They argued that the levy was “unconstitutional…

Canucks who aren’t chronically watching any of the cool programming on Teletoon might miss out on the promos informing us that we too get to join the rest of the civilized world and watch The Clone Wars on our very own televisions (yeah, believe it or not, we do have electricity in our igloos). Check out their site for scheduling information for the first ten episodes. Interestingly, the TV spots are advertising all twenty episodes, so we may actually see the second set along with everyone else.

Now, the first Jedi Council scene has been spotted at Toys "R" Us stores across the country! Priced at a whopping $29.99, one might think that these packs have the potential to warm shelves but only time will tell. Happy hunting!

Thanks TimRogers for this submission.
Attention all Internet music swappers: your free ride may be about to end.

The federal government has announced amendments to the country’s Copyright Act that could leave those who share everything from tunes to movies online liable for their actions.

The government is proposing to sign two international treaties to protect the rights of artists and copyright holders. It would force Internet providers to keep track of users who share high volumes of material using programs like BitTorrent and Kazaa, and report them to the industry.

Under existing laws, and despite endless attempts, judges have repeatedly ruled against music industry efforts to stop the practice in Canada.

Record companies have successfully sued hundreds of file swappers in the U.S. and threatened them with huge fines. They claim the practice is costing them millions of dollars a year in lost sales, but up until now, they’ve haven’t been able to make much headway north of the border.
