How many times have you opened up your monthly bill from Comcast or Time Warner and thought,
that’s it, I’m ditching my cable — only to keep on paying?
Well the time has come. With countless ways to watch your favorite shows online, ditching cable has
never been easier. And with the economic crisis tightening its grip, thereÂ’s never
been a better time to save some money.br / br / Chances are thereÂ’s already a line-up
of customers at your cable companyÂ’s local office looking to returning their Motorola
boxes. The Wall Street Journal this week did, after all, declare that being off the cable grid is
now socially acceptable. As much as 20 percent of all TV viewers watch shows online, the paper
reported, and half of those people donÂ’t watch TV at all anymore. Still not convinced?
No worries, we have five good reasons to finally cancel your cable subscription.a

El MMT Estudiantes capturó la primera victoria de la temporada tras caer en el debut ante el
Iurbentia Bilbao en casa y perder por un punto en Badalona contra el DKV Joventut de forma
sólida, con la misma buena apariencia exhibida en pista verdinegra y al son marcado por el
italo-argentino Pancho Jasen, que decidió subir las revoluciones y sacó del choque al
CB Murcia. Los colegiales entraron en una dinámica de intercambio de canastas con el equipo
de Manuel Hussein que beneficiaba más los intereses visitantes. El juego interior y una
buena selección de tiro en el exterior por parte murciana equilibraron la actividad ofensiva
local durante casi todo el primer cuarto.

img class=face src=http://planet.ubuntu.com/heads/tyche.png alt= div class=snap_previewbr /pMany of
you have seen my name associated with the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter. I#8217;ve had many
different functions for which I#8217;ve been responsible in my possition as Associate Editor, and
enjoyed all of them. Except one that has scared me silly./p pThe UWN posts information
on upcoming events. That information is gathered from the events calendar on the
Fridge. But there have been some problems with gathering the information that we have
learned to work around. Most recently, one of those problems came back to bite
us. We ended up, on a Sunday morning, with 2 meetings scheduled for overlapping times
in the same channel. And we didn#8217;t have time to coordinate with the Teams
involved to straighten out the problem. Since I#8217;m a part of the UWN Team, I felt
responsible for the problem (even if it wasn#8217;t MY problem, directly)./p pThis lead to my
volunteering to try to keep the Fridge calendar (and the Google support calendar) updated and
current. I#8217;ve been added to the editors of thr Fridge for just that purpose, and
now I#8217;m asking for your help. There is information we (_I_) need to help serve
you in promoting your upcoming events. It isn#8217;t anything really difficult to do,
and would save me some time in contacting you for further information./p pThe information we use
and need is:/p ul liStart Date/Time/Timezone:Â If it#8217;s a world-wide meeting, then
UTC. A local meeting would be in the local timezone./li liEnd Date/Time/Timezone: I
would presume it to be the same as above with only the time changed./li liLocation: Such as
#ubuntu-meeting in IRC is fine, or something similar./li liAgenda:Â A link to a wiki
page showing what the meeting is about, if you have one./li liIs this a regularly scheduled
recurring event? If it is, then we can set it up on the Google calendar as such, which
will remind me to manually enter it in the Fridge calendar. This can significantly
reduce the possibility of overlapping scheduling, which helps everyone./li /ul pThis would be the
minimum information we#8217;d need, both for the Fridge and for the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, and
would help us tremendously. Getting this information in to us is not
difficult. Go to a class=linkification-ext

and make your request to the mailing list. That#8217;s all you have to
do. From there, I#8217;ll take and enter it into the calendars. Please

I have just purchased an ITouch and so far love the product. One of the things I wanted to play
with was the App - iTV. I regested it and then on line also registered with there web site. If
finds local channels and a number of Stailite and Cable local providers. When I click on for
instance Over the Air or Direct TV which I am also a subscriber it always ask to download data. The
popup states that "Your data appears to be up to date. Would you like to re-download data?" I have
slected both Yes and No. When I click on the TV icon at the top of iTV the popeup states "Udate
Required" Your listings data is out of date and needs to be update. I click on OK and I am back at
the TV Service Screen. How do I get the iTV listing service to update? iTV web site provides no
clues. Any help would be greatly apprecated.

Having had an iPhone 3G since launch day and a number of replacements for cracking/dust/negative
blacks/scratched bezel etc I was and have been disappointed with apple's choice of a plastic
case.
My mate had had a problem with his 2G iPhone (internal chip in the glass) and took it to his local
apple store, they swapped it for a new 2G. I far preferred the design and quality of the 2G to the
3G so offered him a swap, I'm now the proud owner of a last gen apple iPhone and am i'm far happier
with the 2G! I know technology wise its a backwards step......but I far far prefer the quality and
design of the old iphone. The fit and finish is far better and the aluminum back feels nicer, also
the screen has far more detail in dark areas and isn't yellow! Wondered if I was the only person to
own a 3G first and back track to a 2G? :apple:

At first glance, The Beatles' legend and populist Venezuelan leader may seem like they are worlds
apart. But ask them how they feel about Big Macs, and the gap narrows. Significantly.
Evidently, the former is hoping mad that images of The Beatles are being used in Liverpool-area
McDonald's to sell fast food. Meanwhile, the latter has shut down 118 of the golden arches
over tax irregularities.
"What sort of morons do McDonald's think Beatles fans are?" McCartney spokesman Geoff Baker complained to
New Musical Express on Saturday. "It's ridiculous and insulting to use images to peddle
hamburgers. Fans should boycott McDonald's -- and not just in Liverpool."
McCartney probably has the biggest beef, pardon the pun: He has been a stone-cold vegetarian for
decades. As for Chavez, he has been waging a campaign to deemphasize American business within his
geopolitical domain: He has shut down McDonald's before for failing to follow Venezuela's tax
rules, as well as Coca-Cola and Pepsi. But if you think that Chavez is trying to sever financial
ties with America, think again. Last year, trade between Venezuela and the United States grew to
$50 billion, the majority of which were oil sales to America. It seems that we need Chavez's
fossil fuels more than he needs our Big Macs.
As for Macca, McDonald's defended its promotional strategies to the NME as an attempt to
"acknowledge the outstanding contribution The Beatles made to both local and global culture." Um,
do fries go with that shakedown?

It's hard these days to imagine how elections happened before the web grew to popularity. With all
the instant-access news, video, data, and social networking available in a few seconds' time,
election season is a prime time to dig in and find out where the candidates are getting and
spending money, what's being by and about them and which of it is true, and how to make sure you
get your vote in on Nov. 4. Read on for a roundup of ten tools to get politically savvy this this

on school vouchers? SelectSmart's a

thousands of simulated elections to come up with a likely outcome. Silver's site currently has

In August, Italian courts ordered that local ISPs block popular BitTorrent destination The Pirate
Bay, but the decision was later overturned in appeal. This week, we found out why the Court of

Communications Decency Act a
href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/6/are-web-sites-responsible-for-their-commenters-no-thank-god"Web
sites can't be held responsible for comments/a left on their pages. But can Web sites be forced to
divulge their commenters' IP addresses? Even if anonymous commenters use a site as a soapbox to
harrass someone and call them an (actual quote) "cantakerous obnoxious dishonest new money pig self
proclaimed god?" No way, says a mostly sensible Oregon court./p pThe case comes out of a blog post
at the a
href="http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/2008/01/busy_day_at_city_hall_part_2.php"Portland
Mercury/a about a local politician named Sho Dozono. A commenter identified only as "Ronald" wrote
an angry rant in the comments:/p p style="padding-left: 30px;"Now that Sho Dozano has severed all
business ties with Terry Beard (cantakerous obnoxious dishonest new money pig self proclaimed god)
of Beard Frame Shops and of TheBigBidet.com, oops, I mean Thebigday.com, I will vote for him. Many
business leaders in Portland feel the same way. He really did himself a serious diservice when he
decided to trust someone like Terry Beard./p p"Ronald" left a similar comment at another local
paper. Beard demanded the two papers give him Ronald's IP address, which could be used to track
down which computer Ronald used to post the comments, and presumably, Ronald's identity. The papers
refused./p pIn court, Judge James E. Redman sided with the two papers. Sort of. The papers don't
have to give Beard anything, he rules, but with the caveat:/p p style="padding-left: 30px;"if the
comment had been strongtotally unrelated/strong to the blog post, then the argument emcould/em be
made that the Portland Mercury did not receive it in the 'course of gathering, receiving, or
processing information for any medium of communication to the public.'/p pIt's a weird ruling: in a
href="http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/2008/01/busy_day_at_city_hall_part_2.php"the original
post/a where "Ronald" slams Beard, Beard wasn't mentioned by the reporter at all./p pTo us, the
real issue isn't anonymous commenters as journalistic sources, it's the chilling effect on the
blogosphere's give-and-take if Web sites can be compelled to give up their commenters' info, even
when their commenters are jerks. But while this new ruling in Oregon is limited, the judge did side
with the Internet content publishers. A a
href="http://billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/09/03/news/local/22-doty.txt"similar case in
Montana/a came to much the same conclusion last month./p pSeems like the law is trying to catch up
with technology -- we expect more cases like this in the future until the case law is settled. But
at least the wind is blowing in the right direction./p pstrongSee also/strong: a
