Commerce today

[Karl Lietzan <lietk@ils.unc.edu>]

Disney has made a deal with Microsoft Network to put up a page:
		Disney hopes to leverage its reputation for providing
                safe, high-quality content for children at its theme
                parks, in movies and in videos. The company's
                expansion comes as many parents worry about they
                safety of the Internet. 
There's a dilemma.  Do you want your pride and joy warped by pornography
and violence, or do you want them perfectly tuned to be a little Disney
consuming unit:

Netscape is evidently negotiating with Be to provide an alternative to
Windows NT.  Be talks a good game at:
http://www.be.com/aboutbe/company.html
Yet another set of hapless burblers fail to recognize that resistance is
futile.

The Clinton administration's position is that the
Internet should be a federal duty-free
zone.
