MySpace Buying Photobucket
No wonder MySpace blocked Photobucket. They were trying to lower the purchase price. MySpace is buying Photobucket for $250 million, down from the previous asking price of $300 million.
Damn. Just when Kickthebucket was getting all cool and Ajaxy and Flexy, their new bosses will be the ad-crazy n00b-breeding suits at Fox. Moral lesson: don’t do too much business in a walled garden. The gardeners will stab you in the back and turn you into fertilizer.
RIP Photobucket. After the ImageShack scandal, Flickr is set to take the lead in the photo-sharing race.
BBC Broadcasts HD-DVD Decryption Key
I nurture a burning hatred for the idiot box, but I reserve respect for superdistributing video aggregators who also happen to be TV networks. That’s why I give props to the BBC for broadcasting the HD-DVD decryption key through their tech show Click.
Take that, MPAA and AACS. Copyright trolls can’t intimidate people who know their copyright law.
