Way off base. Google is aiming to be a dominant player in the web TV space and compete directly with Comcast, Time Warner, etc. They have had trouble securing content deals with the big networks. Hulu would be their Trojan Horse to get prem

The software patent system in this country is broken. Google said so in its initial blog about the Nortel portfolio. Many VCs have been expressing the same thing in recent weeks. These two separate actions represent the very early and very

Yeah - why do TC articles end up as #1 on big breaking topics? They have nothing to add but snark.

I'm sure lots of people shared details of illness, pregnancy, drug abuse and other personal info that would fall under the rubric of medical data.

That is completely wrong. People who buy ads against Facebook and Google profiles don't get to see specific info about the users they are targeting. In this case the firm doing the targeting is also the firm that can see all the profile dat

Hasn't mainstream notoriety always been one of the reasons young kids get into cracking? Twitter may amplify this a little, but its not exactly a paradigm shift.

You think it's a coincidence they nabbed Whitey Bulger this morning, after 16 years on the run? His Instapaper account was probably full of stories about Santa Monica.

And yet they have allowed 8track to exist. The founders are hoping they can exist under the protections of DMCA streaming radio.
