Why Did Amp'D Mobile File For Bankruptcy?

2007-06-07T01:29:00.000-04:00

Amp'D Mobile filed for Chapter 11. I read it on Gizmodo. I'm a little shocked. They owed a lot (around a hundred million dollars) to several large companies.

If you haven't seen it yet, the iriver clix2 is the new uber-style item. It's a 4 Gig media player, priced around $200. It plays media files, can record sound, and is a heck of a lot cooler than the ipod. Plus, it's brand new.

I decided to ditch the Adsense ads and instead focus on Oxado advertisements. You're allowed to put up more Oxado ads.Oxado is a great alternative to Adsense, and so far it's earned my respect. Despite the fact that it pays Euros.

Ugh...adsense words.The top earners are usually dui, structured settlements, and loan consolidation. I simultaneously hate and love adsense. I have no idea if it really works, however.(What the heck is a bextra lawsuit? Or for that matter, how many attorneys are gearing up for a vioxx class-action? Maybe I should steer the topic of this blog to technology.)

2007-03-23T03:15:00.000-04:00

Last week, Viacom announced that it would file suit against Youtube, seeking damages of $1 billion dollars. I do not believe that the core issue of the suit is whether or not Youtube was following the rules of the 1998 DMCA - Digital Millennium Copyright Act - wherein content uploaders are blamed for piracy, not providers. Lawsuits only happen when there's something to gain from the conflict -
