Happy Monday, everyone. I hate to start off the week on a negative note, but I just had to share these examples of good intentions gone bad.
First, there’s a panel in Neal5×5’s home state who are recommending an increase in utility costs as a way to fight global warming. (The same global warming that recently iced in the ill-conceived yachtsman’s adventure.) It seems to me that higher utility costs are likely to affect utility usage very little, but affect the price of goods across the board. In other words, it’s more likely to drive inflation upward than to drive utility usage downward.
In other news, the FCC has once again pushed back the date in which all US broadcasters were supposed to drop analog signals in favor of digital ones. If I’m not mistaken, the first deadline was ten years ago. That’s the way to show some backbone, FCC!
Finally, Sillybean points us to this well written article about Apple’s bumbling entry into the ringtone racket. It IS a racket, and I think consumers will eventually wake up to the fact.
