"Google will have to turn over every record of every video watched by YouTube users' names and IP addresses, to Viacom, which is suing Google for allowing clips of its copyright videos to appear on YouTube, a judge ruled Wednesday.

What fun to be living in this day and age. James Barlow would certainly disagree with that statement, as he outlines the great parking dilemma:
Just thinking, mind.
If we define the problem to be "too many cars on the road", the general consensus amongst drivers seems to be that the solution is better public transportation systems for other drivers.

Just thinking, mind.
I hope it's going to be a stylish motorbike, James!

I used to ride one of those in the good old days of Mods and Rockers. I had some good times with my long hair blowing back in the wind (what crash helmet?). And hairy times when the roads were icy, or in fog when I thought those tail lights were in the distance and nearly bit the tail end of a lorry (the box on the back had the lights up top!).
ReplyDeleteThey wouldn't need to request the data here. It would be found on a train somewhere ;-)
