This wasnt covered in the post:

1) Yes they could easily, but the point is that iBooks are supposed to be more accessible (ie: cheaper) and that isnt going to happen. If I have to buy "professor written" books for 60% of my classes, thats a lot of $. How am I going to go out and buy an iPad if I dont have one? That being said, in a 4 year degree,…

There is ONE and only ONE reason they are going to high schoools and it is not what is mentioned here. It is also the single reason that this wont work at a collegiate level.

Like an massive onion. :-)

Why dont you jump on his co-sponsor who hasnt removed his support?

My beautiful wife is blind as a bat (which is why she is probably with an ogre like me).

Bingo! Well said.

You know what? The people in the government have no idea how the internet works. Have the media companies form a consortium to draft their own bill (and pay for it), have the Googles, Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft's of the land create their own draft.

Eyes are on you Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.). You are the other co-sponsor. Stop trying to tweek the existing bill for DNS exclusions and just drop it. Dont worry. Google will make up the lobby money you will lose from the media companies.

Honest statement, not trying to be cotroversial here, just want to clarify. The law (which I disagree with the way its written) would not seize a website, it will just turn off access to it from the US. Therefore, will not effect any content outside the US (theoretically). So if I were in the UK, the above comment…

If I read this right, it will only effect access to sites outside the US and inside the US (potentially) that violate existing copyright rules. This will not change your lawful access to the internet at all.

Oh lordy lord...please tell me that someone who is in the field, has a backlog of stories to cover, has to visit hundreds of booths at CES misses a WHOLE WORD! Clearly Matt's shame will haunt him for the rest of his days. Now his biting coverage of CES is completely ruined and one can never trust any story he writes…

Well if you are ever driving around NYC, id be happy to buy you a beer. See...we settled our differences nicely. A happy day indeed.

Made exclusively for this guy:

I think you can blame Apple and their lawyers for that.

Ok. Where do you live? If you like, you can drive to my place and Ill take you to my local pub for a beer.

There is a link directly in the sentence. Its not hard to miss. Its your complaint that makes zero sense. Why not just ask how to get to the coverage? Why slam the author because you dont know how to click a link? So what there is a spelling mistake, so what that the author takes liberty with slang and snark. …

Actually, it seems like you care an awful lot. In fact, its me that really doesnt care.

Ummmm....food is a commodity. Laptops are not.

Im sure you do.
