This quote sums it up: "This has been said before (multiple times) but you don't rescue your business model by "protecting" against what people want to do. You don't rescue your business model by wasting resources trying to hold back what people want to do. You rescue your business by providing more value and figuring out a way to monetize that value."

But by censoring the tape, LeBron turns the dunk into a legend. On video, it's just a dunk. Without video, the jam can reach mythic proportions. Because nobody can see it, the story of the dunk will grow in stature with each telling. Today, it was a simple two-handed slam. In a few days, it will be a 360-degree windmill. By the time Crawford makes his Xavier debut in October, he will have jumped off LeBron's shoulders, flipped in the air, slammed the ball home with his left pinkie and then handed LeBron $3.99 for his dry cleaning.

538 continues to be the most impressive political blog of this election cycle, to my eye. I love how it aggregates the various polls and also is clear about which one's have tended to lean Dem or Repub historically. A nice, reasonably objective overview on polling.

Nice... a little too simple, but it gets across a positive message. I'll take it (though the dude reading the bodice-ripper may not be pleased when his buddies see that on TV)
