POPSComcast Limiting Internet Use Comcast is the first to do the dirty deed. Instead of investments into newer and more internet infrastructure, they will stop and charge xtra for more usage. As technologies evolve more and more, your bandwidth hog today, is the average consumer tomorrow. They will not only limit internet usage, but more importantly, they will stifle newer and better technologies. Games and HDTV will use way more bandwidth than anything today. Comcast-CONCAST- really, is standing in the way of the future of the internet

POPSWhy Google Wins: Really Fast Data Om Malik does an interesting analysis of Google's real advantage: the Web's fastest supply chain in delivering data.

POPSThe price of privacy Om Malik makes a great point here -- that with all the enthusiasm for social networking there are important privacy questions that will soon become mainstream. Look out for ads so targeted that they are like heat-seeking missiles!

POPSOm calls out Carl Icahn I don't know enough of the facts to form my own opinion. The only thing i'll say about AOL is that i just don't see how they will ever grow their audience again. It just imposible to me...unless they begin buying up hot, new properties that together can offer a better online experience. Seems to me though that Yahoo is the one doing this.
