Internet and TV, are we at the tipping point?
Walt Mossberg today reviewed a couple of new technologies that allow you to beam video from a PC to a TV wirelessly. Pretty cool, but IMHO there is not a big demand for this.
More interesting is the discussion about whether we are at the tipping point between TV and the internet, where more and more people will get their video from the Internet.
In the video below Walt is a sceptic, but his ...
Deportalization and Internet Advertising

In Defense of “nothing”
Columnist Henry Porter is generally considered to be a wise observer of the human condition. Today, in an article in the UK Guardian owned Sunday, The Observer, he blew it ..... badly. As a newspaper man he ought to have been aware of his almost certain bias and perhaps counted to ten before pushing "send". And, given that he didn't, his editor should have saved him from himself after the fact,...
