Around the Horn: The Whatzupwitu Edition

In the name of understanding a major new technology trend, we done our best to surreptitiously slip random Internet videos out to you dear reader/viewer.  Who can forget the autistic basketball player or Lazy Muncie? How about Bus Uncle?  Our random offering of music videos?  Or YouTubed campaign ads?  We hope this has been an educational process and you're a better person for it -- because you'll need all the brain cells in your head to wrap your head around the Eddie Murphy/Michael Jackson video after the jump.  It's something that we've long repressed.  Help me, Mommy.

Oh, almost forgot, here's this week's run around the bases:

--In regards to Net Neutrality legislation, Michael Powell gives his "be careful what you wish for" message again, at the Convergence 2.0 event.

--On the other hand, Rocketboom tells you why NN legislation is essential.  Rocketboom may be the top "vlog" on the Web.  "Save the Internet" lists other pro-NN videos here.

--The Washington Post's Jeff Birnbaum -- who owns the lobbying beat -- looks from the outside at Net Neutrality and beats up both sides for obfuscation. 

--Congress has long had an informal Internet Caucus.  Now it has a RFID Caucus.  We're optimistic that it can be haven of well-reasoned discussion and education.

--The Los Angeles Times editorializes on the French iTunes interoperability issue that we noted here.

--Are there signs of life for eHealth legislation this Congressional session?

--Thanks to Tom Foremski for his 463 plugs on Silicon Valley Watcher.

ESPN.com's Bill Simmons says about this 1993 video:

There was a time when Eddie Murphy was bigger than Will Smith, Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock combined. And then this happened.

A cash advance is money that you baicsally charge to a credit card. Typically they have high rates of interest, so you should use them rarely if at all.A mortgage is a loan for a home. They have much lower rates of interest (but of course you're borrowing a lot more money). They are tax-deductible, unlike your credit card cash advance.I'm not aware of a mortgage tied to a credit card, but conceivably someone could offer one tied to an equity line (how much non-borrowed money you have for worth in the house) and make a card from it. I haven't seen it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
