Wow. Google Wave is pretty cool, but if god was behind it I'd think it'd be out of beta by now.

I wonder what it's like to wake up thinking that this would be a good thing - a necessary thing to do that day.
So very, very strange.

This deal can only be considered absurd if you are ignorant of how they are -usually- put together. Seriously - hairdressers, hangers-on ... at least Halpern is funny in print.
You are talking about Hollywood - the same creative community that is bringing you a film treatment of the video game ASTEROIDS. Seriously.

Pretty amusing that it was "indivisible" that tripped him up.

Maybe they are still waiting for Carrie to get back to them about "bonus features" they wanted to include on the DVD? At -least- an alternative audio track.

Gosh "5280" - I don't know. Why don't you click on the link attached to the words "absolute unique visitors." It takes you to a page that tells you:

When there are "frustrating" bottlenecks or limitations to distribution, it's usually because of existing contracts with either producers, or the existing distribution chain.
For example, Marvel has no real idea if this will work. So why antagonize their existing distribution chain(s) needlessly by offering to undercut the stores?
This is a total departure for them - they don't know if fans will choose digital versions over the more familiar paper, they don't know if different comics would do better digitally - perhaps because they attract a more casual audience - vs. ones that attract a rabid, but smaller, fanbase who want to buy and keep printed versions.
There are all sorts of questions here. It's obviously a complicated problem. I'd think you'd have more sympathy for a publisher.

Yeah - when I look at the world it's clear that one of the biggest problems is people having respectful, deviant sex.
Clearly.

I'm not so sure. For the sake of Olympia Snow we are establishing the precedent that there are some Federal laws that don't apply to all 50 states? Really?
