Malone: DirecTV Is (Almost) a Done Deal
Cable pioneer and billionaire media investor John Malone could soon be back in the business of delivering TV signals to U.S. consumers—this time via satellite. Malone, who helped usher in the cable-TV era and now runs Liberty Media (LCAPA), is haggling with regulators to win approval for Liberty's late 2006 acquisition of a controlling stake in the biggest U.S. satellite operator, DirecTV Group (DTV). Malone, in an exclusive interview with BusinessWeek, says he expects the Federal Communications Commission and Justice Dept. to approve the deal soon. He's crafting a vision for using DirecTV to take on the cable-TV industry, using partnerships with telecom carriers and possibly an alliance with EchoStar (SATS), the No. 2 satellite-TV provider. Once regulators sign off, DirecTV can "take on cable television as their strongest U.S.
New McAfee Study Highlights Dangerous Internet Sites That Prey on ...
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE) today released a research report that spotlights a dangerous cyber practice known as typo-squatting. "What's In A Name: The State of Typo-Squatting 2007," exposes how typo-squatters register domains using common misspellings of popular brands, products and people in order to redirect consumers to alternative Web sites. These squatter-run sites generate click-through advertising revenues, lure unsuspecting consumers into scams and harvest email addresses to flood users with unwanted email. To quantify the scope of the study, McAfee reviewed 1.9 million variations of 2,771 of the most popular domain names. "Typo-squatting illustrates the Wild West mentality that remains dominant in major portions of the Internet," said Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee(R) Avert(R) Labs and Product Development.

Darkroom Productions Keeps the Good News Coming
We get a number of boastful e-mails from local hip-hop labels, and trust us when we say they're not all newsworthy. But pretty much anytime Juan Donovan, who along with Jamal Roberts makes up Darkroom Productions, sends out an e-mail blast, he's got something genuinely exciting to tell us. Every few weeks there's another major-label rapper they're collaborating with, or another show on MTV that they're composing original music for. And this morning came a whole slew of information from Donovan, including the release date for Darkroom's first nationally distributed album, among other things. In January, Donovan first announced that Darkroom Productions had signed a deal to release Hamsterdam The Album with distribution from independent hip-hop giant Koch.
DeAnna Pappas: Prime Bachelorette Material
ABC recently announced that in addition to the new season of The Bachelor that will air this spring, The Bachelorette will return this summer. Why there has been a three-year gap since a woman was last in the driver's seat is not known, though the waffling of Brad Womack may be a big reason the network eventually decided to bring back the popular spin-off. DeAnna Pappas from the last season of The Bachelor was first on many lists of prime candidate for The Bachelorette. While nothing has been announced, she's certainly stoking the rumors with some recent comments. If she were to become The Bachelorette, DeAnna said: “I would approach the experience with a very open mind. I would also do my best to try to be very understanding considering I would know exactly what the guys are going through! I will approach it with the hope of finding one amazing man that hopefully I can live happily ever after with in the end." DeAnna Pappas, seen here with that ass clown Brad, also mused on what kind of romantic dates she would like to plan if she were chosen as The Bachelorette.
Paul Domowitch: He looks like a new Manning lately
THE ONLY thing more remarkable than the Giants' unexpected presence in Super Bowl XLII has been the transformation of the quarterback who helped get them there. The Eli Manning we have watched the last 4 weeks, starting with that near-upset of the Patriots in Week 17 and continuing through three impressive road playoff wins over the Bucs, Cowboys and Packers, bears little resemblance to the one who stumbled through most of the regular season. In the eight games that preceded the first meeting with New England, Manning completed just 51.4 percent of his passes, averaged 5.78 yards per attempt, and threw just six touchdown passes and 10 interceptions. In the four games since then, his completion percentage has soared to 64.1 and his yards per attempt to 7.29, and he's thrown eight TDs and just one interception.
Jim Salisbury | Rollins was also a dynamo in high school.
The kid was just an itty-bitty ninth grader when Bob Poole first saw him play shortstop. Something about the kid stuck out, though. He was fast, athletic and agile. He was tremendously energetic, and he swung the bat well from both sides of the plate. "Great tools," Poole thought to himself that day in 1993. "But, gosh, he's awfully small." As any good area scout would, Poole put the kid on his list and decided he'd check back in a year. Sure enough, the kid was even better as a sophomore. Poole kept showing up at his games. He saw the kid get stronger, saw him take over games as a junior and senior, dominate them with his glove, his arm, his legs and his bat. The kid was a big-time major-league prospect. There was no doubt in Poole's mind about that. But Poole wondered if the big-shot scouts, the cross-checkers from Philadelphia, might scoff if he told them the kid was barely 51/2 feet tall.
