Will Tone of MSNBC Change w/Comcast Merger?

clipper's remarks: I have a pretty basic Comcast package and ever since I heard people complaining that they removed the MEssNBC, I found it up on stn.#128, away from the more "regular" channels, so I'd advise one to scan their sets, you may still have it. (I can't believe I'm helping anyone find the thing
Anyway, I think it would be too obvious for Comcast to make it any more scarce. Maybe it's just as well to keep those nutjobs (Olbermann, Matthews, Maddow,etc.) all in one place where they think they've really got something goin' on. Otherwise who knows what kind of hell they'd raise with their whining.

Comcast and NBC Universal: The Rise of a Content King?
Published:Oct 14, 2009 || Duration: 00:21:25
Philadelphia-based Comcast, the largest cable company in the U.S., has made a bid to merge its operations with NBC Universal -- home to the NBC television network, Universal Studios and popular cable channels including Bravo, USA, CNBC and MSNBC. If the deal goes through, it would create a programming giant, allowing Comcast to produce and distribute content throughout its cable networks and on web sites such as Hulu, which is partially owned by NBC Universal. Steve Ennen, managing director of the Wharton Interactive Media Initiative, spoke with Wharton marketing professor Pete Fader and Ken Shropshire, professor of legal studies and business ethics, about what the deal could mean for content distribution and for consumers.

The bottom line is that e-commerce is growing at an astounding rate, and consumer confidence is growing with it. The decision to create a website, assuming it has the essential elements to a quality site, will certainly open the doors of possibilities for any business.

So why has consumer spending increased? What aspects of online purchasing have pushed consumers to be more confident in their purchasing?

In addition, services like Verisign and Authorize.net allow for increased trust in a company as well. Services like these ensure that the web-server is secure by means of encryption through a Secure Socket Layer (SSL). A user feels more confident when the consumer sees one of these companiesâ€™ symbols at the bottom of the web page.

Politicians and Healthcare

clipper's remarks: Great read by John Stossel

Clip Source: www.realclearpolitics.com

The 1,990-page bill is breathtaking in its bone-headed audacity. The notion that a small group of politicians can know enough to design something so complex and so personal is astounding. That they were advised by "experts" means nothing since no one is expert enough to do that. There are too many tradeoffs faced by unique individuals with infinitely varying needs.

Competition is a "discovery procedure," Nobel-prize-winning economist F. A. Hayek taught. Through the competitive market process, we producers and consumers constantly learn things that force us to adjust our behavior if we are to succeed. Central planners fail for two reasons:

First, knowledge about supply, demand, individual preferences and resource availability is scattered -- much of it never articulated -- throughout society. It is not concentrated in a database where a group of planners can access it.

Second, this "data" is dynamic: It changes without notice.

6 reasons not to give gifts this Christmas

6 reasons not to give gifts this Christmas

Giving costly Christmas presents to all your friends and family is a pernicious practice and I'd like to ban it

The festive season is approaching and swaths of shoppers are getting ready to hit the nation’s high streets and e-tailers, gathering nick-nacks for loved ones, friends and colleagues. Not me, though. I’m more interested in banning Christmas presents.

My argument is not a religious one: it’s about the money moral dilemma that Christmas (or Hannukah, or Eid) raises. And my target is not the parcels from parents or grandparents that sit under the spruces. It is the ever-widening circle of present-buying that people feel a need to fulfil. And here’s why.

1) We have disconnected from why we give gifts.

2) It creates an unfair obligation on others.

3) It mis-prioritises our finances.

4) We give gifts that aren’t used.

5) Kids are not born retail snobs.

6) “Inflationary giving” is a bad message for children.

800,000 Americans Busted Annually for Pot

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:30:09 GMT

clipper's remarks: They argue the drug war “is doing far more harm than marijuana itself ever will,” because

* it diverts hundreds of thousands of police agents from serious crimes “to the pursuit of harmless tokers”;
* it costs taxpayers at minimum $10 billion a year to catch, prosecute, and incarcerate marijuana users and sellers;
* it enables government to snatch the cars, money, computers and other properties of people caught up in drug raids even if they have had no charges filed against them; and
* it allows “police agents at all levels to trample our Bill of Rights in their eagerness to nab pot consumers.”

The drug war has also unleashed a torrent of racism in the form of unjust sentencing, which confines crack-cocaine users who are mostly black to prison for longer terms than powder snorters, who are mostly white.

Hightower and Frazer say authorities have perverted the infamous “Patriot Act” of 2001 for use in non-terrorism cases, allowing “sneak-and-peak” search warra

800,000 Americans Busted Annually for Pot

Seven million Americans have been arrested since 1995 on marijuana charges and 41,000 of them are rotting in federal and State prisons — but the public is starting to rebel against “the preposterous war on pot,” two political scientists say. Thousands of other pot users and sellers are confined in local jails as well.

“People convicted of possessing even one ounce of marijuana can face a mandatory minimum sentence of a year in jail, and having even one plant in your yard is a federal felony,” progressive organizer Jim Hightower and co-author Phillip Frazer point out in the November issue of “The Hightower Lowdown.”

Police arrest someone in America every 36 seconds on marijuana charges, with a record 872,000 arrests made in 2007, “more than for all violent crimes combined,” Hightower and Frazer point out. They note that 89 per cent of all marijuana arrests “are for simple possession of the weed, not for producing or selling it.”

Sure, her healthcare bill is a mess

As for the actual content of the House healthcare bill, horrors!

this rigid, intrusive and grotesquely expensive bill is a nightmare.

why can't my fellow Democrats see that the creation of another huge, inefficient federal bureaucracy would slow and disrupt the delivery of basic healthcare and subject us all to a labyrinthine mass of incompetent, unaccountable petty dictators? Massively expanding the number of healthcare consumers without making due provision for the production of more healthcare providers means that we're hurtling toward a staggering logjam of de facto rationing. Steel yourself for the deafening screams from the careerist professional class of limousine liberals when they get stranded for hours in the jammed, jostling anterooms of doctors' offices.

And why are we even considering so gargantuan a social experiment

Are Pricky Consumers Making Email Marketing Ineffective

Successful email marketing is about getting the best amount of response from your target audience. A winning email marketing campaign involves turning your prospects into clients.

Owing a verified email list is always better than owing an unverified one. People these days have become choosier and pickier than before. They want quality stuff and don’t like wasting their time on things that don’t interest them.

Your email should have a certain level of interesting readability that will enhance your reader’s interest and will help you proceed further. To sell your product or services successfully online, you need to catch your target audiences’ attention with attractive subject lines and good content.

In fact, picky consumers are making email marketing more advanced. New techniques are being experimented to enhance email marketing campaigns. It is a proven fact that those email marketing lists having verified email IDs work better than those not having options for opt-ins.
