„By scaling back their efforts, and offering a second-class product, they add to the current malaise of our consumer-driven economy. Tell me this: Who really wants to buy Sony products after watching some rich goober take his camcorder into space on a Russian (!!!) rocket while listening to the inappropriate use of "Carry On" by Crosby Stills Nash and Young? Can you say "cognitive dissonance" ?“

„TiVo tracking data shows that it was the commercials , not the game, that sent subscribers diving for the Replay button during the Super Bowl. This was the first time TiVo initiated a usage study during a big TV event, but SiliconValley.com says it won't be the last. I'm curious -- does the TiVo user agreement allow the company to sell aggregate user data?“http://blather.typepad.com/blather/2002/02/ play_that_britn.html - Cached
„It's really kind of funny, if you want to know the truth. We had these tenants in 3G, total deadbeats, and they skipped on the rent last week and Mr. Zawahi, the owner, he told me to go in there and clean the place out'cause he wanted to show it on Broker's Caravan this Tuesday.“http://blather.typepad.com/blather/2003/03/ a_terrible_case.html - Cached
„Like those people on American Idol who think that they can sing, and even after everyone laughs and people tell them the ugly truth, they still insist that they are the next Mariah. And those few ugly chicks that do admit to being unattractive are trying hard to compensate with loud personalities and loose sexual activity. It's the, "I may be ugly, but my coochie is good, so let me show it to as many men as I can and hope that someone will want a relationship with me," mentality.“http://afrochelle.com/blog/archives/000091.html - Cached

„The Derby doesn't do bland, staged or predictable. The Derby is one of those rare events that pulls you out of your seat the moment the horses bounce proudly onto the track, minutes before post time. Then it keeps you up, holding your breath, squeezing your binoculars, sorting through the kaleidoscope of jockey silks, rubbing your brow, biting your lip, holding your breath just a few more seconds.“http://www.courier-journal.com/cjsports/trackside/derby125/ boz.html - Cached
„While Japans economic malaise has generated no shortage of diagnoses by Japanese and foreign analysts, perhaps the most common observation is that the policies, structures and practices which once produced the "economic miracle" of the 1950s and 1960s are now acting as a drag on Japans economic performance, in general, and on its adoption of the new information technologies, in particular.3 Japans economic "lost decade" stands in particularly painful contrast to the sustained economic expansion which has taken place in the United States, now attributed, in substantial part, to the pervasive, positive effects of promoting new information technologies throughout the U.S economy.4 Japanese leaders note with dismay that their country not only lags behind the United States in diffusion of information technology, but by some indicia, behind some of its Asian neighbors as well. As of early 2000, there were an estimated 2.6 million host computers in Japan, as compared to some 53 million in the United States, and Internet penetration in Japan lagged behind that of countries such as South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
