The
Car Intifada
By
Joseph
Klein
Hamas
leaders have urged their followers to use their cars and knives to spill as
much Jewish blood as possible. Palestinian Authority President
Mahmoud Abbas called on Palestinians to stop Jews from visiting the Temple
Mount in Jerusalem, the holiest site in Judaism as well as the location of the
Islamic Al Aqsa complex, by using "all means" necessary. The calls
for violence by top Palestinian authorities have been enthusiastically answered
by thugs in the streets. Six Israelis have been killed in terror attacks in
the last thirty days – not by rockets this time, but by cars and knives wielded
as murder weapons against Israeli soldiers and civilians alike, including women
and children. [more...]

Alibaba
Poised to Buy Control of Hollywood Studio
By

Hirsen
Jack
Ma recently delivered a keynote address at the Wall Street Journal's digital tech event, "WSJD Live."
The richest man in China described the company he founded, Alibaba, as "the
biggest entertainment company in the world." The Chinese magnate told the
crowd, "I want to come here looking for partners." He emphasized a
reality that most Hollywood executives and creative types already know, that
China is destined to become the largest movie market in the world. "Movies
are the best way to change young people's behavior and thinking," Ma said,
touching on an issue with which young people in his country are having to deal
concerning the rapid economic growth that China is undergoing. [more...]
Net Neutrality - Obamacare for the Internet?
Net
Neutrality made news headlines as the President calls for
regulations on the Internet to keep "a free and open Internet."
BUT... will these new regulations actually keep the Internet free and
open? Or, will they do just the opposite? Will they discourage
innovation? Will they discourage new technology investment? And,
will they discourage new job creation? Net neutrality, by definition, is
a benign-sounding term for the regulation of the Internet by the Federal
Communications Commission. It's an effort to micro-manage those companies
that provide Internet services to Americans. Rather than treat the
Internet as an "information service" under Title I of the
Communications Act, implementing Net Neutrality under the President's
recommendation would treat broadband services as a Title II "utility"
such as a phone service - thereby, preventing Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) from managing their infrastructure carefully to maximize customer
services and economic value. [more...]
The
Fate of the Internet is in the Buffer Speed Zone Regulations
The
controversial subject of net neutrality first became a hot topic earlier this
year, after a federal court ruled in favor of broadband companies, allowing
them to make deals with content providers, who would pay for faster internet
connections. Since then, The FCC’S been trying to come up with new internet
regulations. On Thursday, the FCC presented a proposal for new rules that would
dictate how broadband companies are allowed to treat cyber traffic. This
critical piece of prospective regulation has drawn the attention of the world’s
largest companies and a wide range of politicians. [more...]
Our
Stubborn Teenager

Don't
you feel like you're dealing with a stubborn teenager every time you hear President
Obama speak? Even his own party has started to look on him with disdain and
disgust. He did nothing (thank God!) to help his party win or keep seats,
except raise money. We learned several things in this last election: mainly, you
really can't buy votes, and negative ads are no longer effective. [more...]
