Default Mark Cuban: "The Internet is dead."

http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=11287

This rant made me chuckle.

I'm guessing ol' Mark probably isn't on the digital downloads bandwagon at this rate.

Hmmm, I guess not.

But, it seems that with these rich personalities, everything is a totally rediculous and moronic idea until THEY decide it is great, and then how dare you disparage such and obviously brilliant concept.

Let's face it, right now our two biggest enemies are:

Steve Balmer (Microsoft, Xbox Live)
Steve Jobs (Apple, iTunes)

Both want to encourage their company growth at the expense of physical media, and hence Blu-ray is a dead end, moronic idea, doomed to fail.

If Cuban decides HDNet is now in the download business, then the Internet is great again and Blu-ray will be targetted by him too.

Oh, the Internet is dead?
Gee, guess I'd better start reopening those travel agencies, stockbroker offices and print-magazine publishers, again...

Mark Cuban is an idiot. He is the epitome of the expression "blind visionary."

I'm just hoping the Warriors can make the playoffs and go farther than they went last year. The refs gave them no love.

Well, if the internet is dead, I guess we should all log out. There's nothing new to learn out there. Show's over folks. Maybe I'll start going to bed when the sun goes down. After all, Mark Cuban says the internet is dead.
