Will Internet TV extend America’s cultural hegemony? Eli Noam of the Financial Times thinks the question needs to be raised:

As broadband internet spreads around the world, television distribution over the new medium moves from experimentation to commercial possibility. The question then arises of whether this medium will be dominated by US content, as film and television have been. Will TV over the internet be American?

The implications of American TV, from Fox News to Angel, in homes world-wide are pretty staggering.

From The Gadfly’s Buzz, a quote from Professor John Findlay explaining Godel’s first theorem:

We cannot prove the statement which is arrived at by substituting for the variable in the statement form ‘We cannot prove the statement which is arrived at by substituting for the variable in the statement form Y the name of the statement form in question’ the name of the statement form in question.

I hope we’re all on the same page now.
