In a previous post, I talked a bit about piracy and copyright violations in Sri Lanka and I mentioned it’s a widespread problem here. But here’s the thing. I can’t say that I entirely blame Sri Lankans for the problems if you understand it in context. According to the CIA Word Factbook, Sri Lanka’s GDP per capita (2007 estimate) is $4,100 US. Well, that’s significantly higher than it was when I moved here - then, it was listed as $850. But if you compare that $4,100 to the US GDP per capitaBubble 2.0
One of the things that annoys me so much about the tech industry these days is the rampant arrogance. I’m certainly not one to begrudge someone a moderately over-inflated sense of self-importance. But I think it’s long left the bounds of reasonable self-confidence and entered the realm of self-aggrandizing stupidity. The most telling sign is the way that the tech industry seems to deem itself immune from the basic laws of economics. Out is the 80/20 rule; in is the long tail.

The time has never been better to invest in very young technology companies, but that doesn't mean it's easy. That's one reason why most venture capitalists tend to focus on larger, less risky investments, where markets are more defined and opportunities more obvious. Yet several firms are placing all or a substantial part of their bets on early-stage startups, many of which have not progressed far beyond the concept stage. These VCs must be prepared to fail, even more so than those who focuWomen Car Buyers - Declare Your Independence

Now, it is the time to discuss dedicated hosting.

With the news from comScore that U.S. Internet users viewed 11.5 billion online videos in March 2008, a 13-percent gain versus February and a 64-percent gain from March 2007, it probably is inevitable that some observers will question the commitment telephone companies are making to multichannel video entertainment. In March, 135 million Internet users spent an average of 204 minutes viewing online video. That represents more than 40 percent of the U.S. population.

When you know you want to switch Internet service, and you need to switch companies, do you know how to compare broadband providers? It can seem like a big undertaking, especially with so many to choose from. It in not difficult, but does require a little time and research. You can start by simply talking to people. Ask your neighbors who they use for broadband service. Go to a local coffee house that offers high-speed Internet to their customers and find out about their provider. Talk to theRelationship cards

I think Joe is right about their potential power. Like him, I also wonder if the name properly captures what’s going on.

When they first began the study in 2001, the United States was ranked 4th in access and service. By 2006, we slipped to 12th.

Unless you really want to get stuck with an Internet connection that still uses dial-up services, any option other than that is good. So which is it? Would that be DSL or cable options?
