MTV changing format

MTV is changing brand format. It is no longer Music Television. During its heyday, music videos were all the in thing. Everyone wants to watch the latest MTV on the latest hits. It seems that today's generation, MTV is not necessary. Maybe I am old school. But it seems as the music of today is much more different than the days in the 80s and 90s, so are the listeners. So the question now is that where do we tune to if we want to watch music videos? Most likely Youtube. There will always be some good videos that need to be shown again but without a network to do it, it seems to be a sad news for old school music fans.

Pad war

Looks like Apple just got itself more news. Some china company is suing Apple for copying the design of the iPad. The china Pad device is named P88. While the design probably have differences in term of connectivity, the appearance looks very similar. P88 company is going to sue Apple. I am sure it isn't a win win issue here but this is a good time to generate publicity for P88 while riding on the iPad's wave. Apple probably will get all the bulk of the negative news now but at this stage it isn't a losing situation yet. What will it be for consumers? It might make more people to look at the pad devices. Mostly like iPad will gain more as P88 isn't avaliable to many places so time will tell who wins more or loses more.

private companies will develop new shuttles

It seems that the space evolution is moving very slowly. The US government wanted to pass on the task of developing space transportations to private companies. In some ways it would be good for NASA as they would be able to concentrate on other areas. Having companies doing the spaceships would be good as in it will be like having different heads solving a problem. You will get choices of transports. It would be like the aircraft business where the best one or the cheaper one gets the deal. But in the space business, it have to be the best one as anything wrong it will mean the end for those caught it the disaster. Hopefully things could go a bit faster but recently global developments it would be a miracle it isn't halted. All the money spent on war and other stuff. Hopefully a third world country could spur the space race to get mankind to space long term.
