Last week was painful to watch. Don Imus made a statement that is common — but inappropriate coming from an old white man — and got shot for it, repeatedly, and is now off the air. This dovetailed with a now broad effort to create a code of conduct for the Web somewhat similar to what the broadcasters did decades ago. While it probably will fail, it shouldn’t be allowed to, because the alternative may be far worse. On a lighter note, Microsoft started showcasing “Halo 3,” which could transform console gaming and put Sony years behind the curve.
