Popcorn Brain....

Funny how money has a way of changing one's mind.  The Winklevoss twins have decided to drop their previously unsuccessful suit, take the money and run.  I could see how that kind of an ongoing suit could devour your lives.  While they are more than likely due much more- and it was nice seeing Zuck sweat, it is the best for all that they move on...

So we find out that Huguette Clark did (?) have a will that was filed in 2005.  Given that the will is not contested (which is highly a likely scenario because of the large amount of money and the "cloud of suspicion over her attorney's operations"), the Bellosgardo Estate will become a museum of fine arts.  Give how difficult it is to do ANYTHING in the city of Santa Barbara, I wonder whether her estate will become a museum in my lifetime ?

The paradigms are about to change again.  I have been dragging my feet, continuing to get cable and hoping that the content vendors on the web would settle into a few bigger players before I jump in the fray.  Now I see that (for some unknown reason) Hulu is putting themselves up for sale!  Is it possible that their rapid growth has forced them to lose control of their business?  I cannot come up with a good reason.  Meanwhile, as long as the rate of change is so rapid, it will take a bit more to get me to accept change.  Now, Hulu has recently been put into a between-a-rock-and-hard-place situation with the content providers.  They will want AUTHENTICATION to occur.  This means that in order to watch a show immediately following it's broadcast, you'd have to authenticate that you are a cable or dish subscriber- otherwise the wait would be eight days!  The cable/dish people are putting the squeeze on to retain as many subscribers as possible.  So why would I want to do that ?  I could just record the shows on my DVR and never use Hulu- or I could give up my apron strings to cable/dish and just watch shows shifted to the right by eight days.  I haven't figured out their ploy.  It just doesn't add up.  The only REAL factor that they have going for them is that people hate commitment to a radical change.  This will cause most subscribers to react like I am, and drag their feet... and continue to overpay...

Would you rather check to see if you have an email- or go enjoy an outside activity?  Do you sleep with your smart phone? Do you carry it around with you in your hand so that you will be able to react to a call or text immediately? Do you feel anxious or bored and believe that you can be "satisfied" by going on the web?  This is an ADDICTION! You may have "Popcorn Brain"!  Here are some facts to see if you really do have popcorn brain and some suggestions on how to cope with it....

Two women that are dog owners are arguing about which dog is smarter.... First Woman : "My dog is so smart, every morning he waits for the paper boy to come around and then he takes the newspaper and brings it to me.
Second Woman : "I know..." First Woman : "How?" Second Woman : "My dog told me."
