VCR being replaced by PVR - Should an invention be created for sheer profit and at the expense of the consumer? Of course not, but Rogers Cable is doing just that by designing their digital cable boxes to be incompatible with VCRs (i.e. you can only use them to play tapes, but you can't record anything). Rogers did this to force their consumers to buy their expensive $600 PVR digital cable boxes (Personal Video Recorders). Do you own a PVR?

Re: If It Ain't Broke... - [quote="mphcoach":1267m13e] Sometimes, changing a thing like the name or (my favorite) the logo (at enormous cost, way too often), is easier than looking inside at what might not be working as well as in the past. [/quote:1267m13e] In this case, they were forced to change the name, because the guy's long-term companion owns the rights to the mag, and wouldn't let them use the title. Indeed, he's upset that they're calling it Scarlet, and it's certainly true that any long-time readers of the mag may see that first "Scarl"... and think, oh, it's Scarlet Street.... when actually it's a new mag (for all that it's worked on by the same people as Scarlet Street, except for the publisher/editor who founded it.) What's even funnier, 2 of the 3 guys who are the publishing/editing triumverate - who post about this on a certain messageboard - have said that they don't care for the name - they just couldn't think of anything better! I could think of dozens of better names.... Scarlet Screen, Scarlet Scream, Frankly Scarlet, and so on... Frankly, I don't hold out much hope for the mag...
Re: Autoresponder v Blog Feed Subscriptions... - They get updates by email only. Your question prompted me to check out the Feedburner email subscription page and I noticed down the bottom that you CAN view the email addresses of your subscribers. Feedburner.google.com => Publicize ==> email Subscriptions: scroll down to the bottom and click "View Subscriber Details". You can also modify the first email notification that goes out, include a link to a logo for branding purposes and set the time of day you want the updates to go out. Pretty neat! DH
