Biden and the Internet

I was not happy when I read in Gizmodo that Joe Biden is Pro RIAA and MPAA. This scares me a little. There is more than enough reason to dislike the RIAA and MPAA. It is not only the lawsuits, but that they protect the industries and not the artist.

Obama's website piece about technology says that he is for Net Neutrality, but if vague about copyright and says nothing about file sharing. I want to know where he stands on the DMCA and extending copyrights again.

I know this might sound like a small issue in terms of everything in this election. I know it is not as important as Iraq, Energy Policy, or Health Care. The problem is that I work in the Tech Sector. The last two companies I have worked for could have been legislated out of existence. It is important to me to know how these things might be treated.

Lego Land

I am really jealous of the guys at gizmodo because of their lego land trip. This is a must read for any Lego fan. You have to read the question and answer and watch the trip to the vault. This is a very nice series.

Cheaper iPhone, Kinda

Everyone has heard how the new iPhone will see at a price of $200. The problem is that this is not really the price of owning an iPhone. It took a while for it to come out that the new iPhones will not have the same pricing plans as the old iPhone. Gizmodo had done a iPhone cost of ownership comparison. It is a pretty interesting chart.

I am looking forward to the iPhone release so I can hear upgrade stories. I wonder what will happen to existing iPhone users who want 3G. I have read too many conflicting pricing plans for me to believe any of them. If I was ATT I would not let them gt the phone for $200. I would want them to pay more because I already have them as a customer and I am the only company with the iPhone. AT&T has very little chance of those those customers.

I guess I will be waiting to find out if I will be able to use an Android phone on Verizon.

Rocking Horse Toilet

I think the Rocking Horse Toilet is a pretty thing. I am not sure they would allow me to get one for my apartment.

Taiwanese TiVo Ads

Check out the Taiwanese TiVo Ads on Gizmodo. I wish the US ads were this cool.
