the internet are the ultimate enemy of unconditional commitment

The acquisition of New Oak Communications further reinforces our commitment to supporting our customers' Internet business initiatives.

I think that the Internet and print behave in a complementary manner.

If we commit ourselves to one person for life, this is not, as many people think, a rejection of freedom; rather, it demands the courage to move into all the risks of freedom, and the risk of love which is permanent; into that love which is not possession but participation.

The Internet allows a marketer to be much more focused [than in TV advertising], even when advertising is done on-line at health sites and key words, because people have already been singled out as looking for information about a health issue. Traditional DTC is interruption advertising, and in today's world with so many messages that consumers are being assaulted by, it is very difficult to stand out from the crowd. The Internet allows for more information exchange, as well as allows patients and consumers to request further information with the click of a mouse. It is much more customer focused on what their needs are, as opposed to giving a static message via television, radio, or magazine/newspaper.

Frank Schirrmacher's passing is a great loss. Among the intellectuals, he, along with Friedrich Kittler, was the only one who understood the philosophical dimensions of the Internet.
