NBC's Greatest Sin: Not Leveraging the Olympics to Win Elections

Ashkan Karbasfrooshan submits: I’m still not convinced that NBC (GE) can or should be blamed for not maximizing the Web opportunity with its Olympics coverage. The simple fact is TV loses when Web grows. I’m not saying Web viewership cannibalizes TV audiences, I’m just saying the sooner the Web becomes less of a clown industry, the worse that is for TV. Don’t be a buffoon in denying that; once readers and marketers realized audiences get their news online, print only died faster. Anyway, where I do fault NBC is not using the Olympics to get any momentum. During the closing ceremonies, NBC began to heavily promote the political conventions. Here’s what I did not understand:Complete Story »

Quebec Group Sues Provincial Government for Failing to Consider Open Source Alternatives

FACIL, a Quebec-based open source software advocacy group, has filed a lawsuit against the Quebec government for failing to consider open source software alternatives. FACIL argues in its filing [unofficial English translation] that the government spends millions on proprietary software without objectively evaluating open source alternatives that could enhance the local economy and provincial technology companies. It cites legal regulation that require contracts be placed for tender, yet notes many Microsoft contracts that were never subject to the process. The group also notes that it has tried to develop a dialog with government officials without success and therefore resorted to the lawsuit.

61 Reforms to C-61, Day 49: Education Harms - Lessons May Require DRM

The conditions attached to the lesson provisions do not end with destroying lessons that use the exemption at the conclusion of the course. There are two provisions that would appear to encourage (or possibly even require) the use of digital rights management to control the further distribution of these lessons. Section 30(5)(b) requires teachers to: take measures that can reasonably be expected to limit the communication by telecommunication of the lesson to the persons referred to in paragraph (3)(a); Section 30(5)(c) requires teachers to: take, in relation to the communication by telecommunication of the lesson in digital form, measures that can reasonably be expected to prevent the students from fixing or reproducing the lesson, or communicating it other than as they may do under this section; In other words, Bill C-61, which already covers a limited number of educational exemptions and establishes special liability for violating the Act with respect to these distance le

Microsoft's Live Search Cashback Fails To Move the Market Needle

Erick Schonfeld submits: When it comes to search, Microsoft (MSFT) is trying everything it can to become a serious player. It tried to acquire Yahoo (YHOO), its latest version of internet Explorer attempts to steer Web surfers away from google (GOOG), and then there is straight-out payola to search advertisers. I am talking, of course, of Microsoft’s Live Search Cashback promotion, which lets advertisers offer rebates to consumers who make a purchase after doing a Microsoft search.Complete Story »

Google's YouTube To Squeeze More Money Out of Homepage

Mark Hendrickson submits: You’ll notice very few ad units while surfing YouTube, and none at all while watching videos contributed by ordinary folk like you or me.
