The subject came about through Tivo, where you get to record your programs and then watch them without ads. Tivo clones are now proliferating and the idea is being built into a lot of second generation devices (video recorders, eg). Enough to make sellers of programs/advertisers worried that this might be giving just too much power to little ol' you and me. After all, except during the Superbowl, who is going to choose to watch ads. They are seriously investigating ways of getting the Bush administration to make this technology illegal (the Dems would do the same). As for the source, two comments. The church scandal in Boston (which in Salem seems likely to encompass tonight, diocessan knowledge of a murder? by a married priest) was broken by the local free paper "The Phoenix", a year behore the biggies moved in. The President of the University that I work at has shielded his serial killer brother for years against the two large papers in town. Sometimes you can't choose where you get the news. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sam Krneta" <skrneta@mindspring.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 11:40 PM Subject: [Leica] Is this believable? > My cousin sent me this as he knows I take a lot of pics. > > http://www.2600.com/news/display/display.shtml?id=1441 > > The source is a little questionable, but I can see this happening in > today's USA. > > Sam Krneta > > > > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
