Advertising rates for TV shows on the Web
now cost as much (or more) than advertising rates for TV shows via cable or over-the-air.
A tectonic shift has taken place for the digital age: ad rates for popular shows like The Simpsons and CSI are higher online than they are on prime-time TV. If a company wants to run ads alongside an episode of The Simpsons on Hulu or TV.com it will cost the advertiser about $60 per thousand viewers, according to Bloomberg. On prime-time TV that same ad will cost somewhere between $20 and $40 per thousand viewers.
Between TiVo,
FiOS and sites like Hulu, it's no longer a question of IF television will be on-demand all the time, it's only a question of WHEN.

Sure, stock photos are getting cheaper and cheaper.
But be careful: You never know
who used that touching, heart-warming, emotional image before you did...

From today's WWDC keynote coverage at
macrumorslive.com| 11:41 am | Can adjust guitar tuning without actually physically changing anything -- nothing can be demoed however, as the hardware accessory isn't communicating with the iPhone. |
| 11:39 am | More demo technical difficulties -- trying to show how easy it is to switch between settings on an amp and guitar. |
| 11:37 am | Final demo -- Line6 and Planet Waves. Together they are working on a solution to control your guitar and amp from your iPhone. |
Steve Jobs is known for his flawless perfomance onstage: Everything worked right, or else it didn't make the presentation. Now, I'm not saying a mistake like this wouldn't have happened under the influence of the Reality Distortion Field, but it is something to think about.

Memo to self: When going on holidays, cancel paper delivery, tell the milkman
(1) to drop by, and most importantly,
DON'T TWEET EVERYONE TO TELL THEM THAT YOU'RE NOT AT HOME!!!!
(1) I vaguely recall home delivery of dairy products in my preschool years, courtesy of the local dairy. I wonder if my kids will think about home delivery of dead-tree newspapers in the same way.
