New reality show features Ozzy Osbourne. Oz and his family will be the focus of a new MTV reality series, "The Osbournes," set to debut March 5. The weekly show will follow the family -- including his wife/manager, Sharon, and teenage children Jack and Kelly -- for six months. The Osbournes gave MTV virtually unlimited access into their lives, as cameras followed them around wherever they went. Been there, Done that.

Just why AOL is in negtiations to purchase Linux "packager" Red Hat?
The reason I liked AOL when they started (as Vienna Online, I believe) was that their floppies made my computer useful. With AOL I got communities, content, instant messaging and I got mail.
If AOL/Time Warner feels they need to be an OS company then I presume content is a dead horse, Sell your stock, last one out turns off the lights.
Perhaps there is confusion between an OS and a platform.
AOL should bundle a productivity product like Radio with their existing hosting business and sell 'default' RSS xml feeds to their installed base of advertisers. Now that would be an interesting platform!
Earth to Bob Pittman, get your ass out of Round Hill and consider changing the battlefield.

Guardian Observer: "But do we even believe the cover story about the fall? His reputation for 20 years was that of an obnoxious drunk. Perhaps recent events drove him back to the bottle of bourbon? A pretzel attack doesn't usually involve bruising."

This Scientific American article points out some very interesting human behaviour regarding Television, Video Games and WebBrowsing.
As with video (tv shows, commercials, music videos) where edits in the source material engage the viewer by prolonging mental processing during the visual stimulus, hyper links on a web page give the reader a "greater sense of control and engagement".
In both cases, tv and web, there is a saturation point, where too many edits (more than 1 a second) or too many links on a page (more than 10) make people "tune out" or "surf off".
