The Big Picture: Radio's Wounded Business ModelGood god, I wish I had time to expand on this... But for now, I give you this link to read it for yourself. He nails it right on the head. The RIAA should really be screaming at Clearchannel and Cumulus for killing their sales, not P2P and the new digital media. Napster would not have exploded like it did if people could have found 'their' music on radio. As I've asserted before, I bought more CDs per year during the Napster reign than any other time in my life. It was fun finding new music then. The airwaves are full of generic homogenized crap now. The last good best radio station we had in this town was KFMG. They'd play almost anything. This is why the idea of a new station gets me buzzed! A good fresh start-that's what's needed.

Ignore for the moment that MS's move into the Anti-malware market could bump out existing anti-malware providers the way they did with the old netscape, is anyone else slightly alarmed by the EULA for the recently released Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool?
Particularly, the all or nothing approach they've taken with this: "If you receive updates via Automatic Updates, you will only be able to stop receiving updates to this software if you turn off Automatic Updates entirely."
