The goal is to protect intellectual property- primarily music and video content- from would-be scoundrels, rapscallions, and pirates. This is very noble and clearly a good thing, right? Right? What’s your problem, do you like thieves? These people worked hard to make content for us to pay to enjoy, right? It’s their right to protect their work! Why do you hate content owners???

Cox Cable truly stifles my connections, as well, and I am wondering if you found a solution yet? -Kristen Dear Ben,

I notice that Netflix craps out right in the middle and if HD is available, it MIGHT show up.

Cox Cable truly stifles my connections, as well, and I am wondering if you found a solution yet?

]]> Comment on TED talks and biomimicry in IT by Nathan http://www.bensbrowning.com/2010/03/01/ted-talks-and-biomimicry-in-it/comment-page-1/#comment-168 Nathan Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:08:13 +0000 http://www.bensbrowning.com/?p=195#comment-168 Was thinking about this idea of biomimicry as well after watching that video and reading your follow-up. While we certainly have been following nature in many regards to our end products (planes [wing designs off of Peregrin and Swift falcons], the new swimming suits [shark scales], etc...) it really hasn't been considered how we should make those like nature. If this can move forward and gain momentum, the world over will benefit. Thanks for sharing. Was thinking about this idea of biomimicry as well after watching that video and reading your follow-up.
