The Weekly ‘Loper – March 12, 2006
Posted by Rox in The Weekly 'Loper on Mar 12, 2006
While you were shooting steroids meant for Barry Bonds into Slobodan Milosevic, here is what we were concentrating on:
- The Battle Royale: Download Royalties – Every time there’s a new content delivery system everyone freaks out over how big their cut will be.
- A History of the Ricky Gervais Show – Jim’s latest obsession. This week anyway.
- Apple Launches
SubscriptionMulti-Pass Video Service – What happens if The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are in reruns for a week or two? Does your monthly sub — I mean “Multi-Pass” carry forward? - What Really Keeps Studio Executives Awake At Night – You mean besides hookers and cocaine? How about that they have no idea what’s actually in their libraries.
- Will Origami Introduce The Era Of UMPC? – I would like to include the winner of the 1998 Computer Haiku competition.
“Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.” - RIAA: Stop Taping Songs Off of the Radio! – What does the RIAA have against little kids anyway?!

I just need to post a quick comment so that I can officially claim the creation of this new accronym: PBSOD – Pervasive Blue Screen Of Death.
Welcome to the era of UMPC’s.
