Only the Justice Department believes online gambling is illegal.

On the bright side, we see satisfaction with Transaction Costs increasing slightly, which is a departure from last year. This shows that retailers are exceeding customer expectations with their pricing strategies for both products and shipping. If online retailers can manage expectations and maintain overall satisfaction during this last week, they should continue to gain value from the holiday shopping season.

On NBC, MSNBC and Hulu, you can size and cut clips to whatever length you want. Do online clips affect the TV market? I'm guessing not really.

One of the reasons we built a six-month time frame into restricting the imagery is so that all the issues related to this could be vetted. This (the online offerings) was one of the issues we knew about, but we felt there would be appeals. ... Do you take everything off now and then perhaps reinstate it, or do you wait and make the change when the policy becomes effective? We felt the best decision was to wait until there was resolution.

One of the great benefits of having the Directory available as an online resource is the ability to quickly find exactly the resources you need for a client with just a few taps on the keyboard and a click or two of a computer mouse. We have learned that current Internet search engines are slow and ineffective in finding the resources our clients are searching for, and when an adult or senior client has an urgent issue that needs to be addressed immediately, those are the times when every second counts. These are the values our Web-based Directory delivers for industry professionals: speed and accuracy.

One of the most effective weapons for defeating online piracy is providing legal, easy-to-use alternatives.

I would estimate that approximately that approximately $3 billion today is spent on locally targeted advertising across the various forms of online media.

I would hate to be in high school now. Psychologists talk about the 'imaginary audience' that teens seem to feel they have around them and that makes them think they have to keep up their image all the time. Now with Facebook and MySpace and 24/7 online access, that imaginary audience has become real.

I guess I cringe when the discussion leads to, rather than books and sentences and characters and the stuff that writers are supposed to be concerned with, how to have an online presence and how many followers you have on Twitter. That stuff always makes me uncomfortable.

I got into online trading. It was alarmingly easy to do. I went through the whole cycle of emotions, from supreme self-confidence to total impotence. I broke even in the end.

But this online network will catch those law breakers.

But it's one of the most exclusive in terms of the audience that will be holding it in their hands, and it will have a life long after the event.

But French legislators aren't just looking at Apple. They're looking ahead to a time when most entertainment is online, a shift with profound consequences for consumers and culture in general. French lawmakers want to protect the consumer from one or two companies holding the keys to all of its culture, just as Microsoft holds the keys to today's desktop computers... Apple may not qualify as a literal monopoly -- there are lots of ways to get music and buying online accounts for only a small fraction of total music sales. But the sliver it does control it controls almost completely, and it's not out of the question to suggest that this sliver will ultimately become the only way people will buy music in the future.

BBC Persian.com is a major source of news for Iranians, and has the biggest impact of any online site or newspaper in Persian. We are very concerned at this action and regret that it deprives a great number of ordinary Iranians of a trusted source of impartial and editorially independent news and information.

Because we had two songs online (before the album was out), people were already making assumptions about what kind of band we were and what our album was going to sound like. And that's what a lot of the album is about. It's directed at all those kids that talk on message boards.

China represents an enormous market and opportunity for us, both in terms of our rich online games and mobile applications, as well as our enterprise software solutions and services. Our strong performance in China during the first quarter is a clear indication of our ability to capitalize on the opportunity.

I'm a strong proponent of online dating. Dating is a numbers game and online dating gives you the greatest number of people to choose from - people you would not ordinarily reach.

I looked online today. It appears to me he didn't play in the game.

I love 'Call of Duty;' I'm a huge fan, but I started off with 'Medal of Honor' and I stuck with what I knew. I never got into the online play with people, across the world, across the country.

I love a hotel that offers Wi-Fi Internet access, especially if it's free. But I never access sensitive information, like my bank account or an online shopping site that stores my credit card information, on a public Wi-Fi connection.

I have a problem finding any fault with BBC online coverage. I use your site to get a feel for what is going on (both in the US and not ). You coverage is broad (I don't try to read even a small part, but it is there if I need/want it). Wonder if I should give to you for this service. I guess I would, at a low enough level. Something per year ($10 or $15 by card).

If in fact this is something that is done by the online team with no pressure on the reporter and no effect on the way decisions are made in what way things are covered, I don't find it problematic at all. In fact I would find it a useful service.

I find it particularly amusing -- and frustrating on behalf of the pioneers who have been selling online for years -- that brick-and-mortar guys who announce the opening of their e-store see a huge one-day run-up. Of course, patience brings rewards, and most of those one-day wonders have returned to more normal prices.

I find it difficult to believe that Redditors don't understand that anonymity online is merely a facade; indeed, it's probably one of the reasons that revealing the identity of pseudonymous Redditors is looked on as such a huge betrayal.

I found it very helpful not to do the venture round. Instead, I started with very little money, a few thousand dollars, and I did every job myself. I was the first photographer. I was the first customer service rep. I was the first online marketing person.

Growing our total online services and technology revenues by 8% from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 is a tremendous achievement, and we are optimistic about continuing the trend of quarter-over-quarter revenue growth in the current fiscal year.

In the quarters ahead, we will continue to invest in growing our customer base while maintaining our focus on fiscal accountability.

If somebody is doing a search in Washington, D.C., and they type in 'Chinatown,' 'MCI Center,' 'things to do in Washington,' they are going to get Caps advertisements.

For several years now, search engine marketing and optimization has dominated online marketing, and this data shows why: it's far more effective at converting visitors into buyers than most other acquisition sources taken as a whole. But as this data also shows, the best conversion rate still comes from good old fashioned branding and customer loyalty, where visitors either bookmark your site or type your URL directly into the address bar.

I get up in the morning, do my e-mail, I check my e-mails all day. I'll go online and I'll buy my books at Amazon.com, but I don't want to buy all of them because I want to go to Duttons and I want to buy books from another human being.

I go home, I have dinner with my wife and kids, and after my kids go to bed, I'm back online doing stuff.

Historically, job advertising drops off in the months of November and December. This online series does not have a long enough history to seasonally adjust the data. However, we know from The Conference Board's long running Help-Wanted Index for print ads, as well as the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics' job vacancy index (JOLTS) that businesses typically decrease their recruitment in the last two months of the year. This seasonal November decline typically reflects the Thanksgiving holiday and a slowdown in recruitments after a seasonal upturn in the late summer/early fall. Year-end budget constraints may also play a role if funds are short for paid advertisements. Nationally, the downturn in new online ad volume the week before and the week of Thanksgiving more than offset the modest increases in the other weeks in November.

There are so many parts of online captioning that either don't work or work badly that just getting it to work at all is an achievement.

There are so many emotional stories in our lives that the cameras missed outside of the competition, which viewers never got to see.

There are similar security measures to those of online banking.

I think it's a very good time for this.
