Answer by Robert Bobo
Where have you been news has been infotainment for decades it started after major companies realized that hard news usually effects their bottom line negatively. They bought up interest where they could and where they couldn’t they bully with advertising dollars. This has turned news into prepackaged dreck most people ignore.

Yes – it’s horrible. But the younger generation are driving it because they want success and wealth quickly and easily. And advertising plays on emotions. Some people have no control when it comes to their emotions, even if they are penniless. It was starting to drive me wild until I decided to take a stand! To avoid it I only watch cable TV and turn down the volume on commercial TV when adds are on. If I am driving along the road I deliberately turn away when I see a billboard or shopfront advertising. I listen to non commercial radio or CD’s, I focus on the news only on the internet and my email allows me to junk any unsolicited emails before they get to my in box (I think if I want something I will go looking for it – it won’t come to me). I skip adds in mags and newspapers. I open my mailbox, collect the junkmail and walk it straight to my recycle bin. I get calls from telesales everyday (I work from home) and I know it’s them because of the phone delay. I always hang up immediatley before they have spoken. If it’s a friend I know they will call back. In the past I have acted like I was insane on the phone or left the phone off the hook saying I was going to get such and such a person, and never went back and left it off the hook for a few minutes before hanging up. I have also yelled for them to stop ******** calling me and since then it seems to have stopped. I also put my phone on screening answering machine. Sometimes people do door to door. I can see them from my window. I never answer the door. Sometimes they even wave to me through the window. I just ignore them and they go away. I have been doing this fo a while now and it is all natural to me now. If you just remember – if I want something I will go looking for it, then you will be fine.

"there is minimal bullshit.."
"never do anything stupid because some manager/MBA/suit-type has power without knowledge. "
"Likewise, there are no "politics", just engineering."
"Your work won’t be canceled due to some political/financial upheaval,"
Very cool, very history. MSFT is everything BUT this. A fat enterprise with more suits the nerds and more politics then code.

Question by Ben C: What is this song called on the advert of News Of The World?
It’s about the News Of The World paper, and It’s advertising the special “style” magazine inside.
The Lyrics are something like
“D&G and tiffanys”
It says loads of designers names, if that helps.
And no it’s not Heidi Montag.
