Doc Searls Weblog: An Open Letter to Meg Whitman (CEO of eBay) -- "What would happen if MUTE buttons on TV remote controls delivered "we don't want to hear this" messages directly to the advertisers who pay for commercial television? Advertising as we know it would be dead in a day."

I've very disappointed to hear about eBay's move to the dark side.

Apple problems buried in online sales, study concludes

The big thing appears to be that noone wanted to buy a Mac in July, in anticipation of the Macworld NY announcements. Of course! And after the announcment there was nothing shipping immediately.

I bet this will bite Apple's ass in the X-Mas season too, people will be waiting for Macworld SF. Apple should schedule their next hardware rollout for November or very early December instead of MWSF so they don't get hit again.

The timing of those two events isn't very good.

<VOICE OF="Eric Cartman">
  I... am... so.... pissed.... off... right.... now!
</VOICE>

I switched my TV to CTV SportsNet West to see the Oilers game tonight (you might remember that's the whole fucking reason I bought the satellite system) and this is what showed up on the screen.

"This NHL game is only available in a regional viewing area established by the NHL. If you can see this message you are outside of that local area. CTV SportsNet programming will resume following the game."

Oh, SHIT! Now I have to return my StarChoice, get a Bell ExpressVu satellite and pay $150 for the "NHL Centre Ice" package which lets me see 1000 NHL games a season. I don't want 1000 NHL games, I just want the 82 that the Oilers play!

Hey, help me complain. Call 1-877-288-7767 (CTV SportsNet) and tell them to let Jim watch Oilers games!

Update: I'm listening to the game on 630 CHED via Broadcast.com. Yay, 14.4kbps monoaural sound.... thrilling. Yay. I'm so happy. Uh-huh. Really. I am.

As usual, Robert X. Cringely tells it like it is. Read this article.

Oh, but this is hardly Apple's Darkest Moment. I think that was back when they were "" that close to being bought by Sun.
