I refuse to watch Parks and Rec. and Community does look good but since they got rid of Earl I can be bitter can't I? :p ABC is headed in the rigth direction with "The Middle" and "Modern Family". Gotta Love the Janitor from "Scrubs" and Ed O'neil.

Rather, it is that they have a HUGE footprint in the telecomm AND entertainment industry, and drag their heels and stall advancement of technology until absolutely necessary. They are able to do this due to their sheer size and power. Any other normal business that acted like this would be out of business within four quarters. On top of that, they collude with the legal departments of the entertainment industry to do things like cap bandwidth (which costs them literally nothing, so the only possible incentive is backroom deals with the entertainment industry), and manipulate government at all levels to have special considerations given to them.<br><br>Basically, Comcast is the reason that capitalism gets a bad rep. Companies that climb to the top, and then use their vast resources to push down their competitors (or even worse, change the rules to discourage competition altogether) should be dismantled.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[hexydes]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2009 11:47AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast takes control of NBC, promises not to crush Hulu]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/comcast-takes-control-of-nbc-promises-not-to-crush-hulu-like-a/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/comcast-takes-control-of-nbc-promises-not-to-crush-hulu-like-a/</guid><description><![CDATA[@(Unverified)  Dude, the scenario you described IS capitalism.  There is no capitalism other than what has historically occurred.  Ideological abstractions and speculations about what happens in 'pure' free markets are irrelevant.  What matter is the actual empirical evidence of history which is replete with monopolistic and oligopolistic (i.e. cartels) practices.  Intellectual Property is just another example of this trend, another monopolistic practice which stands in contradiction to the free market yet has existed since the beginning of capitalism.  Free Market ideology is a fig leaf to hide the reality of capitalism as practiced: whatever favors the the oligarchs (or those unscrupulousness and resourceful enough to replace them) goes.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[luqman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2009 3:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast takes control of NBC, promises not to crush Hulu]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/comcast-takes-control-of-nbc-promises-not-to-crush-hulu-like-a/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/03/comcast-takes-control-of-nbc-promises-not-to-crush-hulu-like-a/</guid><description><![CDATA[@(Unverified) Gosh... pick a name!<br><br>>> "They will start by delaying content by more than a week on Hulu & then make the most popular shows paid only & insert ads."<br><br>The joke will be on them.
