Is satellite radio going to make it? Will the merger hurt or help the industry? Will the merger hurt or help consumers?
I think so, they are not like other radios that goes directly on commericals. They talk during a song or talk to waste time. On XM radio, they don't go directly to commercials they don't even have commercials its nothing but good music everyone across the world loves to listen to when their on their way to work or a long road trip.
It will help the industry.
It will help, because now their are sports news, music, funny clips and other things. They both have no commericals it overcomes significant regulatory hurdles.

This article is about Microsoft and making new music and publishing it to the whole network on internet life. Microsoft is about to launch a new offensive against Apple's domination of online music sales and portable music devices - and head off the much-heralded iPhone. Its a phone, music player, internet, all in one and will be coming out soon. As quoted on the article , "A lot of (online music) retailers are pushing the record companies very hard to release the restrictions on DRM," the source said.
Online pundits believe this will be incorporated in a phone version of the Zune - Microsoft's challenge to the iPod.

Last article is about Anna Nicole Smith, a truly different individual. Smith, who died after collapsing in a Florida casino hotel room last Friday at the age of 39, had long battled addiction to prescription drugs, which she frequently combined with large quantities of alcohol. Methadone was found in the system of her son, Daniel, whose drug-related death at the age of 20 five months ago is still being investigated in the Bahamas. Mr Stern, who sold an interview of his grieving over Smith to a US television show, said Smith had wanted nothing to do with her mother.

The Article
1.) "When it is more important to be seen than to be talented, it is hardly surprising that the less gifted among us are willing to fart our way into the spotlight." - Lakshmi Chaudhry. What is your reaction?
I think she is right because people like William Hung that had no talent for the American Idol and ended up with debut album singing others song. Stupidity leads you to the spotlight but yet people with talent makes its harder to get to the spotlight.
2.) What would you do if someone took a compromising picture of you and posted it on the Internet? Should people have a right to say if they don't want a picture online?
I would be mad at myself for even giving that photographer a glimse of my body because it leads to negative thoughts about me and what I do. I should have every right to have say so in my own picture because its my body my privacy.
3.) Is the "truly private life" an illusion? Why or why not?
No, because your mom can view your private life and things. There is no such thing as private life unless you have your own room thats a private life. Comparing then from today, private life was an illusion today your life is not private you commit a crime everythign abouy you is being noatble for others to view. Paparazzi does not exist to them because they take pictures of everyone and everything.
4.) What does the author mean by the "Creolization of media"?
To render; impose rules and structure, which makes the Creole language completely coherent and expressive, on par with any language. What we are witnessing is the Creolization of media
5.) “Things that were not silly. I tried to make my posts highly stylized and short, about things I would imagine people would want to read or comment on.”- I've wondered this about websites like reddit.com. Could the same be said for newspapers?
No, because newspapers are for news and things about stuff in Miami around Florida to be clear.
6.) When she worked at American Apparel, management posted encouraging remarks on employee MySpace pages." Personally, I find this weird. What do you think?
I think it is weird cool because others can view that you have a great busy life as well as a life on MySpace. Other managers could view the comments and hire her by her previous job, but i agree its sort of weird.
8.) What is your reaction to the article? Did you enjoy it?
Yes, because it teaches me not to take offers like "Oh I'm a model photographer can i take a picture of your amazing body? " scams and etc. So yes I enjoyed it, she really handled it well. She's beautiful and should display her talent and body else where than the internet.

Questions from 2.8.07
1.) Web 2.0 is the term given to describe a second generation of the World Wide Web that is focused on the ability for people to collaborate and share information online. Web 2.0 basically refers to the transition from static HTML Web pages to a more dynamic Web that is more organized and is based on serving Web applications to users.
2.) To post things I go on MySpace.com I don't really post things like politically and how I feel just on MySpace to my friends.
3.) The "dot-com bubble" was a speculative bubble covering roughly 1995–2001 during which stock markets in Western nations saw their value increase rapidly from growth in the new Internet sector and related fields. The period was marked by the founding (and in many cases, spectacular failure) of a group of new Internet-based companies commonly referred to as dot-Com's. A combination of rapidly increasing stock prices, individual speculation in stocks, and widely available venture capital created an exuberant environment in which many of these businesses dismissed standard business models, focusing on increasing market share at the expense of the bottom line.

Marginalization means to place in a position of marginal importance, influence, or power: Ex. The government's attempts to marginalize criticism and restore public confidence.
Inarticulate means lacking the ability to express oneself, esp. in clear and effective speech.
It means we are today, experiencing the rise of people who can express themselves properly to people who can't. That's what I think it means in the quote that was posted on the blog.
I think this is extremely true because we have teachers that cannot express themselves properly compared to teachers back in the days that can express themselves properly
