Additionally While politicians in the US are working overtime to ban online gambling, it seems that politicians in China, where the internet is so controlled, may be taking a different route. They’re realizing the significant tax revenue they could bring in from legalizing it and are apparently exploring the possibility of legalizing online gambling. Perhaps all of those online gambling companies who are getting worried about the US should start to prep some marketing plans for the population in China.

it.. Wow..this is a neat idea mTV: Still About The M (Well, Sometimes), But Less About The TV, Too MTV hardly shows music videos anymore, common thinking goes, instead focusing on mindless reality shows. But the network looks like it’s preparing for the day when its cable network isn’t the central focus of its business. Despite its rather slow start, MTV is beefing up its online offerings by using its TV programming just as a starting point for further content and interactivity, while today it announced it’s buying a video-game company, spending $175 million to buy Harmonix, which develops music-related games, like Guitar Hero (and is a different company than that game’s publisher, which is caught in the patent dispute we posted earlier). MTV’s made plenty of moves over the years to expand beyond its core cable TV network with various products, founded on the oft-repeated cliche of the last decade that it’s not a TV channel, it’s a lifestyle brand. Certainly MTV has a strong brand, but it’s probably more accurate to say that going forward, the company needs to embrace life as a media company, not as just a TV channel. The focus of its network programming creates a starting point for its brand, and it should build from there — so buying a company that makes music-related video games is much smarter than buying a company that makes first-person shooters or something else that’s less relevant, even though its products might be popular with the same demographic as MTV. Media companies need to be diversified across different media, and be able to reach their audience through a variety of platforms, but they need to make their offerings cohesive. For instance, that’s why a MySpace music store makes sense, but a MySpace magazine doesn’t.Did you know that About means something that has no quantitative value; zero: a score of two to nothing. wow… this is such a great idea

It’s put out a call for “advisors” to “reach out to the mobile internet ecosystem, keep in touch with trends, and understand, assess and prioritise the needs of the entire mobile internet community”, and who will be able to “to shape the future of internet services to mobile devices”. Of course, you’ve got to pay for the privilege to “advise” mTLD, the company behind .mobi — starting at 295 euros a year for individual observers, up to 5000 euros per year for companies that want to actively participate, and for those with 30,000 euros burning a hole in their pocket, there’s a “Foundation” membership available. So let’s get this straight: .mobi is interested in outside input, but only from people who can pony up significant amounts of cash. mTLD’s arguments were already unconvincing, and this hardly helps them look like they’re interested in anything other than money, despite what they say. But remember, according to the CEO, .mobi’s not a money-grab, because even though they’re setting up various programs to inflate their revenues, their prices could always be higher.Did you know that Cash means money in the form of bills or coins; currency.

. I should add that %keyword% justice Department Says Free Speech Not Stifled By Web Labeling Bill Earlier this year, when politicians were shoving each other aside to introduce legislation “for the children.” A popular bill was the one that would require websites with sexually explicit content to label themselves as such in some form or another. This idea is apparently so popular that, rather than a separate piece of legislation, it’s found itself as an amendment tacked on to various other laws, including the big telecom bill and a spending bill (the type no one ever votes down). Now, the Justice Department has weighed in on the issue — because requiring content providers to label themselves can be seen as a First Amendment violation. Not so, according to the Justice Department who says “this is not censorship.” Why not? Well, because they feel: “it’s not a major break with First Amendment principles.” Of course, they don’t really explain why — and just saying it doesn’t make it so. Plenty of others disagree, and note that this kind of legislation is quite problematic. The problem is pretty straightforward. Where is the line? What needs to be considered sexually explicit? What if it’s considered sexually explicit in the bible belt, but not on a coast? Who gets to decide? Considering how difficult people have agreeing on what is and is not objectionable content, this kind of law just opens up a huge potential mess of problems (not even getting into the fact that any borderline content will likely move to offshore servers). It’s one of these laws that will let politicians claim they’re doing something, while actually creating an even bigger mess.Did you know that Department means a division of a business specializing in a particular product or service: the personnel department.

This isn’t a new idea, but parents sometimes have trouble letting kids grow up in the digital age.
