The! Biggest! News! of! the! Day! - Not Earnings from Cisco Systems (CSCO) or Digital Rights Management (DRM)

Here are some of the contenders for today's biggest...news...of...the...day...

  • Earnings from Cisco Systems (CSCO)...the upbeat report has the stock poised to gap up five percent at the open...more details in the post below...
  • A buzz about copyright protection technology as Steve Jobs, Apple's (AAPL) CEO, wants music "to be sold online without digital rights management (DRM) technology"...
  • A report on business productivity...
  • Some interesting comments from Todd Harrison, CEO of Minyanville...
  • Perspective on Overstock (OSTK) from Herb Greenberg...

While those are all stories worth watching, I think it is obviously clear that the biggest story is this - Looking for Web fun? Cheddar is better.....according to the article "West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers has turned a web camera on a rack of its maturing cheddar cheeses to give aficionados a chance to watch in real time the slow process of mold growth for a whole year"...however, it is not the fact that the company put up a webcam that makes this the biggest story - its that "nearly 49,000 people have clicked on to www.cheddarvision.tv to enjoy the thrill"...why people?...why???...doesn't anyone have hobbies anymore????
