Five For Fighting - 100 Years Lyrics
I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you???re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you???re on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
It was 17 for me - the most freedom, the least responsibility, and all the time in the world. Now not so much, but I've got a lot and I'm so very thankful.
Time to pause and take it all in,
I won't be back here again.
Time Warner CEO: ???Bandwidth Costs Are Not Terribly Relevant to Broadband Pricing???
Time Warner CEO: “Bandwidth Costs Are Not Terribly Relevant to Broadband Pricing”Published on Stop the Cap! | shared via feedly mobileAnother remarkable admission from Time Warner CEO Glenn Britt came at the end of today’s investor conference call. In response to claims by some cable companies of incremental bandwidth costs running 40-50 cents per gigabyte (a number we strongly dispute at Stop the Cap! for being at least ten times too high), Britt made the debate over bandwidth costs moot by saying they really don’t have anything to do with how Time Warner Cable prices its broadband service.
“I think that the conversation about usage based pricing should not be tied to a conversation about costs,” Britt said. “This is not a rate of return regulated monopoly industry like AT&T was before 1984. We have a lot of different products, a lot of different offerings and we’re aiming at different segments and different combinations and the pricing will relate to that. This is not a strict cost-base thing so those facts are interesting but not terribly relevant to pricing.”
That clears that up quite nicely. We’ll be sure to remember that should the cable company revisit its customers with another Internet Overcharging scheme blamed on bandwidth hogs.
Time Warner Cable CEO Glenn Britt is asked what Time Warner Cable is paying for bandwidth costs. Britt said the question is largely irrelevant, because those costs have almost nothing to do with how the company prices its broadband service. July 28, 2011. (1 minute)

Apple CEO Steve Jobs To Step Down
by NPR Staff and Wires
- August 24, 2011
Steve Jobs, the mind behind the iPhone, iPad and other devices that turned Apple Inc. into one of the world's most powerful companies, resigned as the company's CEO Wednesday, saying he can no longer handle the job.
The move appears to be the result of an unspecified medical condition for which he took an indefinite leave from his post in January. Apple's chief operating officer, Tim Cook, has been named CEO.
In a letter addressed to Apple's board and the "Apple community," Jobs said he "always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come."
Apple said Jobs was elected board chairman and Cook is becoming a member of its board.
The company said Jobs gave the board his resignation Wednesday and suggested Cook be named the company's new leader.
The January leave was Jobs' third medical leave over several years. He had previously survived pancreatic cancer and received a liver transplant.
"This is an indication that he's not in good health and he can't be as involved in the day-to-day running of the operation," NPR's Laura Sydell told Melissa Block, host of All Things Considered. [Copyright 2011 National Public Radio]
