A young man rang Charter Cable to cancel his cable TV connection and maintain his Internet connection. Why? Because cable TV is an anathema to this generation’s vision of media consumption and/or it sucks. So he calls Charter and Charter informs him that he has to pay a $10 no-cable fee and he is told that soon Charter and the rest of the cable companies will control all streaming, thereby rendering all streaming media unusable after “May 1.”

Consumerist has his note:

At this point, he said he would see what the cost of internet alone was, and said there would be a $10 “no cable TV” fee (sounds like b.s. to me), which would make it $49.95 a month for internet alone. Then he went on to say that he strongly suggested that I keep the tv service because come May 1, all of the online streaming services would be shut down because the cable TV providers are taking over, and that the FCC regulations are changing so that the cable companies will have total control over streaming video.

Total control, eh? Sounds fishy. Look: cable companies have cables that come into people’s homes. They can make lots of money offering fat pipes to people who want them. But they don’t. They want to stick to whatever consumption model appeals to them and that model is the the cable channel. Cable channels don’t cost them money to maintain, they don’t have to be up 24/7, and they can sell premium channels and services to rubes who don’t know any better. The Internet is like offering running water to the home. Cable TV is like offering a bottled water service with a special “shower package” for those who want to wash. Which one is more lucrative?

You don’t have to be a hypochondriac to get freaked out by the amount of nastiness that’s probably living on and around your computer keyboard. And not just living, but also eating, pooping, dying, and having lots and lots of unprotected sex. Ick. Traditional keyboards are full of all kinds of nooks and crannies that are to bacteria what the back of a Volvo is to high school kids, and just like with high school kids, you can only eradicate about 5% of them with a disinfecting cloth.

The Cleankeys keyboard eliminates all of the hiding spots that you’d find on a keyboard with, you know, keys, by being completely 100% touch sensitive. This means that if you wipe the keyboard down with a disinfecting cloth you get rid of 99% of the nastiness in one fell swoop. Since the average keyboard has 3,295 germs per square inch, that leaves a mere 33 germs per square inch to deal with on the Cleankeys keyboard. Incidentally, the average toilet seat has about 49 germs per square inch. Cleankeys: it’s cleaner than your toilet!

Actually using the Cleankeys keyboard would take some getting used to, since there’s no feedback when you push a key. Cleankeys says that it’s about 30% slower than typing on a standard keyboard, but “that time is typically made up many times in the time saved cleaning.” Mmmhmm. They keyboard is entirely washable (you can stick it under running water), includes an integrated trackpad, and is available with a plastic or glass top for $400 and $450 respectively.

Keitai Otohime, a mobile device that plays the sound of running water to mask bodily sounds in the toilet, is selling out in Japan. There’s also an app for that.

The word limo evokes various impressions like wedding days, celebrities, oil tycoons or corporate VIPs. Any special occasion would be enhanced by an elegant stretch limo.

The first stretch limo was made in 1928 in Arkansas. They were used mostly as transportation for band leaders, orchestras and instruments. Hollywood stars considered stretch limos as “must haves” in the 40s and 50s. And these vehicles were also used for transporting film crews, equipment, stage personnel around the sets and studios.

Car industry faces a huge competition that is why its owners have to innovate it and distinguish it all the time. Apart from making the limos longer, the industry owners can make their features more advanced, interior more luxurious and even make the whole limo as outrageous as possible. Every limo has similar features like a bar full of alcoholic beverages which is perfect for bachelor parties. Some limo bars even have fancy crystal glasses, polished counters and even a sink with running water.

Modern stretch limos are more equipped and look sleeker. They are still used for transportation of the rich and famous but there are also limos with more space to accommodate larger numbers of people. The new style limos are popular nowadays as the industry adds new technologies and the ability to stretch any type of car. These stretch limos have become a perfect transportation for a large number of people to and from clubs, parties, weddings or even wine tours. The added amenities like a lot of room, bars with drinks, disco lights, speakers or even hot tub make these vehicles even more popular for such fun occasions. Modern stretch limos can seat over 20 people and that is another reason to hire such a vehicle for a party. One more type of vehicles that were added to the stylish and modern array of stretch limos are the sport utility vehicles or SUVs.

SUVs are magnificent. They have the military heritage and when you see them driving on the street you won’t confuse them with any other vehicle. The most popular SUV limos nowadays are Hummer H2 and H3. They are totally equipped for a party and have completely stocked bar, dance floor and lounge seating among other fun features. These vehicles are also popular among the stars because some of them are equipped with bullet proof glass. Some of the limos are even customized to have a casino on board. The impression and statement the stretch limos make is truly unforgettable.

If you want to experience the same feelings you can hire a limo for an upcoming party you are having. Find a good limo hiring service not far from you and enjoy a great party with one of their stretch limos.

Don’t expect every country in Europe to follow France in implementing a “three strikes” anti-piracy laws. A report called Digital Britain, which assess the UK’s preparedness to enter the digital era, will be published next week, and inside are methods that the UK could use to combat Internet piracy. One such method: slowing down the Internet connection of file-sharers so as to prevent them from effectively downloading illegal content. (Though, if my UK acquaintances are telling the truth, broadband in the UK is garbage to begin with. It’d be like telling a slug to slow down.)

Slowing people down is one option, rather than just cutting people off from the Internet altogether, which is something the EU doesn’t support. The Government there, now less a few Blairites, sees Internet access as being as important as something like running water.

Also in the report: a demand that ISPs cooperate when copyright infringement is found. You know, sending letters to customers saying, “Yeah, we found out that you were downloading Premier League games, and now the FA and Sky Sports are breathing down our necks. Knock it off.”

Of course, that’ll open up ISPs to all sorts of nastiness. “If they can catch people downloading episodes of “Lost,” why can’t they spot people who are looking at terrorism sites, teasing Gordon Brown, etc.?”
