ATC on NPR
February 11, 2006
Two interesting stories on All Things Considered (NPR) today.
First. Yahoo and AOL want to start charging companies to allow them to mail you (sort of a SPAM deterrent) mass mailings. Examples in the segment include Red Cross, etc. Interesting concept, but equally interesting is the argument that a person should be able to control (more) what is in their inbox. (ATC, 02/10/2006)
Second. I've seen a few satirical movies made up from existing movies to reflect the Brokeback Mountain theme, but All Things Considered did a story today on some of these. The “Brokeback to the Future” spoof sounded funny, but I still like the Apple-themed “Broke Mac Mountain.”
