Plato would have considered that a good start towards the goals he proposed regarding children education : removing them from their parents' care and transfering the burden of their education to the State - Even though I can't remember where he spoke about supermarkets, by the way...

I think that being allowed to have an occasional alcoholic drink at home under supervison took the mystery out of alcohol for me and meant that I wasn't all that interested in experimenting with it during my teens. I'm now 33 and can count on one hand the number of times I've been drunk.

Depends which supermarket you go to (sometimes even which teller). It can be fustrating. Generally tho I maker sure I'm alone and with ID if I have to buy.
- Roberto Bonini
So the lady showing her ID will mysteriously prove that she will not hand her alcohol over to someone else after the purchase? British people must have some awesome IDs.
- Sung W. Lim
This is the way the law works in Virginia, too. When trained at the grocery store, I learned that it was my right to refuse to sell alcohol if I believed that it was going to underage drinkers... and our grocery stores carry only wine and beer, none of the hard stuff. I never did have to turn anyone down, though I did make one lady's day when I carded her on her 80th birthday. :-D

@arc315 you've gotta visit Sweden or Finland - you have to go special shop for anything above beer or cider "number 3", and it works ONLY in limited time, and clerk can say NO (with guardian staying always next or nearby)... one have to put things in context to realize true level...
- A.T.
@A.T. It's like that in Norway, too. The intention is to force people to plan ahead, thus making it a teeny bit harder to get utterly wasted. Also, you can't buy alcohol anywhere but in bars/restaurants in the evenings.

@A.T. and @johan At least they are getting more liberal with this, with even Liquor supermarkets in the bigger cities. And the quality is great.. But they should liberate it more, cause the people keep on making their own homemade wine... (do I need to define it maybe as f** shit) ;)

“When it comes to valuation, making money is a real obstacle. Our profitability has been a real drag on our valuation,” said Mr. Fried. “Once you have profits, it’s impossible to just make stuff up. That’s why we’re switching to a ‘freeconomics’ model. We’ll give away everything for free and let the market speculate about how much money we could make if we wanted to make money. That way, the sky’s the limit!”

"Three days later, at an all-company meeting in the same amphitheater, Hastings announced that there would be no Netflix Player. Instead, he would spin off the device, letting developer Anthony Wood take the technology and his 19-person team to a small company Wood had founded years earlier called Roku. But Netflix, which had already begun streaming movies to users' PCs, was hardly giving up on the idea of streaming them to televisions as well. Instead, the company would take a more stealthy—and potentially even more ambitious—approach. Rather than design its own product, it would embed its streaming-video service into existing devices: TVs, DVD players, game consoles, laptops, even smartphones. Netflix wouldn't be a hardware company; it would be a services firm. The crowd was stunned. In half an hour, Hastings had completely reinvented Netflix's strategy."

It's fun to dream of a day when cable companies and satellite content providers are out of business. I've been really impressed with Netflix's Watch Now service. The breadth of content available is impressive and combined with newer release TV and films via DVD mail the service is powerfully poised to replace cable and satellite.... one of these days hopefully.
- Thomas Hawk
It's endless though -- if cable and satellite companies go out of business or are no longer in the content supply business -- there will be a new evil supplier.
- Brian Sullivan
Thomas, which codes do I punch in to get CNBC and Monday Night Football?
- Cristo
I'm sure it's a plot to dumb down the American public even more. "You will obey!"
- Kittyburgers
Look at it another way: if cable companies go out of business, who provides the pipe to deliver the content? The vast majority of people in this country get broadband via cable. Replacing them would require a huge infrastructure investment from somebody. Who's going to do that? Phone companies? Maybe, but they're shilling their own content services and aren't interested in being dumb pipes for everyone else's content.
- Kevin Pedraja
@ Kevin Pedraja: Electric companies if they can get approvals. I think there are a lot of lawsuits right now trying to block the powerline companies saying it's unfair competition.
- ChiliMac
Netflix and TIVO with over the air content has made me very happy. Yes, I miss ESPN and I miss seeing some Cubs games that are on ComCast sports but I can go to bars for that. I LOVE not sending ComCast $100 a month.
- ChiliMac
ChiliMac, but don't you have Internet at home?
- Cristo
@Cristo good point. Personally I've got CNBC all day at the office so that's less important to me, but I suppose much of the info from CNBC could be gotten via the Web, even their website. In terms of Monday Night Football, that one's easy for a big chunk of America (although not all). Do like I did and buy a cheap OTA HDTV antenna and then capture the signal via your Media Center PC or TiVo. As a bonus you get to skip all the commercials.
- Thomas Hawk
Thomas, MNF is on ESPN. The CNBC stream is not available online, AFAIK. Also, doesn't your office use cable to get CNBC?
- Cristo
Kevin, if the cable companies go out of business then they sell the pipes to someone else who can more intelligently manage them. Personally I'm using AT&T's uVerse offering right now for internet and it's much faster than cable anyways. Maybe by the time they go out of business their pipes will be antiquated technology as well.
- Thomas Hawk
The ecosystems of networks gets larger: netflix is a network. Realtime is next.
- Cliff Gerrish
from iPhone
Thomas, but that's sorta my point. AT&T is an alternative, but they're not interested in being a dumb pipe. They want you to pay for UVerse. And do you think their prices wouldn't go up if they weren't competing with cable? The bottom line is that selling bandwidth isn't a good business. Companies make money from all the services they layer on top of it.
- Kevin Pedraja
And an antenna is great if all you want to watch is broadcast network TV. How many people do that nowadays? Not many.
- Kevin Pedraja
Christo, Ah, good point. I don't watch sports generally speaking so I wasn't even aware that they were on ESPN, last I remember Monday Night Football was on ABC. I think businesses will still have a need for specialty programming like CNBC. But like the Bloomberg terminal that sits on my desk, I suspect that those offerings will become increasing tailored for specific business customers...

- Thomas Hawk
"We're sorry. Currently, AT&T U-verse service isn't available for the address associated with this phone number:" and our building doesn't allow satellite dishes. We're two blocks from the AT&T central unit in downtown SF and there's 200 lofts in this building. Lots of people are stuck with cable.
- Cristo
AT&T is more than just a dumb pipe in terms of what I pay them. It's an obscene amount of money between my fiber internet, 2 iPhones in the house and a landline that we sort of have to keep alive for now so that the kids or babysitter can phone us from home if need be.
- Thomas Hawk
Cristo, agree on uVerse. But it's coming. Fiber is the future not cable.
- Thomas Hawk
Cristo, exactly. And in lots of cities and towns, cable providers have negotiated deals with municipal governments that effectively make them local utilities. There's no direct competition by mutual agreement.
- Kevin Pedraja
So Thomas, essentially you just traded DirecTV for AT&T?
- Kevin Pedraja
Cristo, I thought it was illegal to ban dishes, or is that just for single family dwellings? I wouldn't want Uverse personally, for a variety of reasons including that they already see too much of my traffic ;)
- LogEx
LogEx, there's this thing called homeowner's associations. If the building wants to have satellite, they can, but we don't individually have control over our roof. Additionally, when you have that many units, it's hard to get a consensus on who's willing to pay for a new service installation, especially since not everyone will take advantage of it.
- Cristo
http://www.fcc.gov/mb... ...so it may be just the roof commons issue rather than an actual restriction.
- LogEx
@Kevin. Well, yes, I traded DirecTV for uVerse, but the bill is lower and I get fast internet service with it. Plus I was able to cancel my DSL service that I was formerly paying for. I'm not sure exactly what I pay for uVerse, but it's a heck of a lot less than I used to pay for DirecTV and slower DSL internet service combined.
- Thomas Hawk
If I were in control, I'd try to set up a microwave for the building, and wire it to each loft. However, building politics and arguments make FriendFeed look like choir practice, and I've never left a meeting feeling better than when it started. :)
- Cristo
BTW, I'm getting 18.53Mb/s download, 3.93Mb/s upload with cable. What do you get with uVerse Thomas?
- Cristo
Good question Cristo. I'll have to check at home tonight and report back.
- Thomas Hawk
@Cristo: Yes I have internet. Not with Comcast.
- ChiliMac
When you get Internet from Comcast, you don't save that much by not getting TV with it. Therefore, if you can only get Internet from Comcast, you might as well get TV also.
- Cristo
What is the average cost of a basic internet package with TV service with Comcast? Curious.
- Kittyburgers
from IM
They advertise lower, but I think when all is said and done it's about $50-60 for basic cable and Internet.
- Kevin Pedraja
Despite how crappy their internet service is, my dad is still willing to stick to Time Warner because of League Pass and the ability to watch every single NBA game during the season. Time Warner even provides his telephone service. I still think it's going to be a while before cable dies.
- Victor Ganata
I tell you what I don't miss with Netflix though is commercials. I've become so spoiled from watching TV series via Netflix with no commercials that I'm finding myself bummed out these days even having to push the fast forward button on the Media Center remote for the OTA content. Even having to listen to 3 or 4 seconds of an ear splitting commercial before I quickly push the fast forward button feels like a pain compared to how fluid the commercial break transitions via Netflix.
- Thomas Hawk
That's a Huge point Thomas. Commercials (and lower quality) are exactly the reasons I don't watch much TV and movies on the Internet.
- LogEx
I have a 25/15 Verizon FiOS connection. It's fantastic. If not for sports, I'd dump cable completely and go with a combo Netflix OTA HDTV solution. Unfortunately I'm a Notre Dame alum and willing to pay $1200 a year for the two times a year the Irish are on ESPN. I also enjoy getting some European soccer games and the History Channel, but other than that, I'd completely get rid of FiOS TV (much better than Comcast though!)
- Matt
Agree with Thomas' comment about commercials. My wife and I have recently been watching Weeds, Dexter, and The Wire completely commercial free. It's excruciating having to watch anything live now. Even the simple act of fast forwarding my DVR seems like a huge hassle now, whereas 5 years ago it was a godsend.
- Matt
I actually like fast forwarding through the commercials and occasionally seeing one I find entertaining.
- ChiliMac
@Matt: Dude, that's what God event sports bars for! :D
- ChiliMac
@ChiliMac Heh, that won't work for my dad, he doesn't drink.
- Victor Ganata
Hey Matt, not to be nitpicky or anything, but Weeds, Dexter and the Wire were on Showtime and HBO. So they were always commercial-free. ;)
- Kevin Pedraja
"Fox crams 18 commercials into every Sunday night airing of The Simpsons, earning 54 cents per viewer. But, according to research firm Sanford C. Bernstein, Fox airs just three commercials for the same show on Hulu--a site it co-owns with NBC Universal and Disney--earning a measly 18 cents per viewer." - Huh, I had no idea Hulu was already doing that well, relatively speaking, in per-viewer revenue.
- Andrew C
Most DVRs have a 30-second forward (even Comcast), so commercials don't bother me that much. You just need to enter the right code and assign it to a button.
- Cristo
30 second advance is the bomb. I had a terrible time with Dollhouse last year though because my fingers were trained to hit the button four-five times, not two.
- Andrew C
that's great and wonderful. but US only. I know there's rights issues but until then being one country only is limiting them.
- Terry O'Fee
what do you mean limiting them, they work in the only country they do business in. Why don't you ask why they don't deliver discs overseas too?

Earlier today Flickr launched their latest feature: Galleries. Galleries allow you to be a virtual curator, selecting up to 18 photos to add to an exhibit of sorts on your Flickrstream. To get a sense of what I mean, you can check out the first gallery I built myself here: Motel America. I also made a second gallery highlighting 18 recent favorite photos of mine from DMU’s Lightbox. You can check that gallery out here. Galleries seem like a really interesting way to let you showcase some of the most interesting content that you find on Flickr. While Flickr already has faves, you might think of galleries more as super faves. Photos that you like so much, or built around a theme that you like so much, that you’ve decided to dedicate a special place in your photostream to it. I really like this latest addition and am glad to see Flickr offer it. I hope that lots of people on Flickr take advantage of it. I know that I plan on building quite a few galleries over time.
- Thomas Hawk
I understand the 18-image/video limit, but I wish there were a way to gather shots from group events like family outings or weddings better. I thought this might have been it at first, but no. At least Flickr is working on new social stuff that draws from the collective strength it gets from having a lot of people share images.
- Stephen Shankland
Photos that Flickr or a user on Flickr designates "moderate" or "restricted" cannot be put into galleries.
- Thomas Hawk
Stephen, that feature would seem to make sense. It would also seem to make sense, using your example, to be able to include your own photos in a gallery, something that can't be done today. Maybe flickr should consider allowing more than 18 photos and the ability to include your own photos as well as a premium feature for Pro accounts. I'm not sure I understand the 18 photo limit...

- Thomas Hawk
I do think though that curating is a terribly important thing and am pleased to see Flickr build a feature that emphasizes this. If anyone ever wants to see an amazing documentary on one of century's greatest curators, Alfred Stieglitz, check out this one out: http://www.netflix.com/Movie...
- Thomas Hawk
I wonder if Flickr will allow you to use some variation of a gallery as your main photo layout. I'd like the option to feature certain pictures on the first page of my photo stream but there's no real way to do that now.
- Kevin Pedraja
Kevin, as of now you can't include your own photos in any gallery. Personally I think a good option would be for Flickr to offer larger galleries than 18 photos (maybe up to 100 or 200 or even unlimited?) and allow you to include your own photos as a premium feature for paid Pro users.
- Thomas Hawk
I really wish Flickr would take down the wall between our photos and our friends. They need to give us the ability to treat our own photos the same way we treat others, to favorite them and add them to galeries. It isn't right that I have to go to favorites to see my friends photo's and then my own sets to see my own. Other than that I can't wail to play with galleries when I get home.
- ChiliMac
One more issue I just found. You cannot add to a gallery from your favorites slide show. They'll have to add that.
- ChiliMac
they should let you fave galleries as well as view galleries made by your contacts/friends/family.

This whole issue is all the more ridiculous when you understand that Home Sharing is basically what I want but for portable devices! Fingers crossed someone realises this and creates a nifty hack to fool iTunes into wirelessly sharing to my iPhone. </hint>

I've been calling for wireless syncing since I rolled with an iPod Video!

Hear, hear. Wifi sync is long overdue. I'm thinking their trying to protect the Apple TV and the 4 people that use it.

WiFi sync could be a massive drain on the iPhone battery.
- Bill Sodeman
True, but then again most devices can be charged from a plug socket. This may seem inconsequential to plugging directly into the Mac and syncing as regular, but this will become more and more essential when iTunes learns to granulate the syncing process. Right now it's just way too bloated.

Back when I had G1 Zune with Wi-Fi syncing, I never used it. I configured it just to say, hey it syncs wirelessly! Then never used it again.

Please. I love wireless. Come on Apple! What happened to innovation? But the i back in iPod and iPhone!
- Zachary TG
You can sync big fat media files over WiFi or have a battery that doesn't commit suicide. Pick one.
- David Chartier
from iPhone
David: True enough that when you want to replace large amounts of data on your iPhone/iPod it's better to directly sync connected to the Mac, but if iTunes granulates the syncing process I can easily add a single song/photo/app without hooking up. It just makes sense to me. I think it's sad I have to use apps like AirSharing to do this instead. I have whole albums wirelessly synced this...

Apple is half way there with MobileMe...Kinda... If we can sync Contacts, Calendars, and Bookmarks over 3G, it shouldn't be hard to sync Apps over wifi.

Time-plain & simple. Reading blogs is much quicker. So, unless you are distractingly attractive (extremely cute can work), or astonishingly entertaining, most of us would rather read your blog, or the transcript of your video blog. Exception:when the information you are sharing is best served by a visual demonstration.

playing around with the iphone app and loving it like Zee - but I'm also dubious about becoming dependent on this subscription model, particularly since cancellation of my subscription leaves me with no more playlists on the go! Is it worth £120/year...?

The sound quality on all of the iProducts is so bad, I literally can't use them for listening to music. No one else in the universe seems to mind, but my iPhone's tinniness hurts my ears. (All eq tricks applied, yes.)

Haven't tried downloading anything to the phone yet, but it takes about five seconds to start playing a song when streaming it over T-Mobile UK's 3G and there's none of that buffering like in the Last.fm mobile player. Using the Android version, by the way.

Tax refund check from California state bounces… « Jewel City Juice - http://jewelcityjuice.wordpress.com/2009...
La Ligne, Spidra Webster, Jimminy Fuller and 16 other people liked this
"I attempted to deposit my $29 tax refund check from the state of California in my bank account this week. I had filed my taxes on the late side, which I think must have been compounded by the state budget issues, so I didn’t get the check until last week. So I deposited the check right away. For a young journalist like myself, $29 isn’t something to sneeze at. (That’s almost a tank of gas!) But for one of the most powerful states in the union, even when you take the budget crisis into account, $29 should be short change. Right? So imagine my surprise when I learned that the check had bounced. Not only was the $29 gone, but I had been hit with a bounced check fee as well!"
