Road rage leads to stabbing
A traffic altercation in Edmonds led to a stabbing in a Burger King parking lot that sent one man to the hospital and two men to jail Wednesday morning. Officers arrived in the 7600 block of 212th Street Southwest and found the victim, 47, suffering from a non-life threatening wound to his abdomen, Edmonds police Sgt. Don Anderson said. Medics took the victim to Stevens Hospital. The fight began at about 10:30 a.m. when the victim and a 37-year-old Monroe man disagreed and stopped their vehicles to fight, Anderson said. One of the men pulled a knife during the fight and stabbed the other, he said. Officers arrested the Monroe man on suspicion of assault, Anderson reported. A 22-year-old man also was arrested on misdemeanor charges relating to the fight.

Want to advertise your business online? Beware of click fraud
PORTLAND, Ore. - Click fraud has been called the dark side of online advertising, a type of Internet crime aimed at running up bills and cutting down the competition - one click at a time. Every time you use Google or Yahoo, there are always links at the top of the list for sponsored sites and they do not pop up there by mistake. Business owners pay for those links. It's called pay-per-click advertising and for many small businesses, it's a great way to attract new business. However, there is a down side. Scott Hendison used pay-per-click advertising for an insurance business. One day, he noticed his bill was increasing, but there was no increase in actual leads. Someone had been fraudulently clicking on his ad and running up his bill, with no intent on using his services.
IT Best Buy Shines Brightly as CompUSA Fades Away
Yeah but from what I've found is that while the cost might be lower, they get you in the shipping. A $5 cable thats $12 at Radio Shack will often have $5 in shipping charges. So is saving $2 worth waiting 3-4 days. Usually I'd just rather have it right away. Now if the difference with shipping is over $5 and I don't need it right away, then I'll buy it online. .
HOLLYWOOD 2.0: NEW FRONTIERS IN NEW MEDIA - PART 1
The two primary avenues of content delivery on the Internet is streaming video and Electronic Sell-Through. If you go to the official site for any of the major networks, you can watch video streams of entire episodes of their prime-time programming. The studios claim the writers arent entitled to compensation for this re-use of their work, because its being used for quote unquote promotional purpose only. That said, the networks do run ads during these streaming episodes, which you cannot skip, and writers dont see a penny of that ad revenue. Electronic Sell-Through, on the other hand, is fully downloadable and re-watchable videos, be they original Internet content or projects produced for other media. In 1985, at the advent of home video, the AMPTP justified a huge reduction in home video residuals by saying that it was an unproven business model. Despite that, when the DVD market exploded and the money-making potential for home video was fully realized, the studios were none to eager to negotiate an increase in the residual formula. Now, the AMPTP is singing the same tune with regards to the Internet, that there is no proven business model. And while that may be true at the present time, there is little doubt that sooner rather than later, someone is going to successfully monetize Internet video, and all the creators are asking for is their fair share.
