Aside from the content, the form of this news coverage is good: local politics and news, taking advantage of the web as a delivery medium – lengthy interview excerpts not limited by column inches and audio chunks interspersed through-out.<\/li>\n
Liking the emerging narrative here: it was all just lieing and cheating – “They were saying they didn’t have a problem,” said Peter Sorrentino, who helps oversee $13.8 billion at Huntington Asset Advisors in Cincinnati. “Well, they did. It just wasn’t being disclosed.”<\/li>\n
A very pragmatic, useful now cloud offering – no Cloud Fear for dev\/test!<\/li>\n
I'd like to be in the "please don't show me ads" bucket – "The platform allows anyone with a Facebook account and PayPay\/credit card\/… to create a targeted advertising campaign in a few minutes, with Facebook approval to run the ad appearing within an hour. You can target the advertisement by many criteria including location, age, gender, sexual preference, company, school,… and can fine-tune the campaign once it starts – for example I managed to push a narrowly targeted ad in front of a Facebook-using colleague based on little bit of knowledge of her background."<\/li>\n
Check it: advertisers are realizing they're getting Craigslisted. If you can micro-target your ads, they (probably) don't need to be very good. Or, more likely: they need to be good in a new and different way, which means disruption for the "old timers" who can't (or won't) figure it out.<\/li>\n
"Sun pouring through the window. Lone boat on the river. Woke up to the scent of the chicken stock I made last night while we were sleeping through the Oscars. What I want is a walk along the river in the early morning wind, and a comforting bowl of congee when I return. There is nothing easier to make than the classic Chinese breakfast."<\/li>\n
"Eating is not something you need insurance for. So denying yourself an edible pleasure just because you couldn't safely remove someone's appendix in the room in which it was prepared, seems just plain foolish, not to mention self-defeating."<\/li>\n
Nice how seriously this piece takes on the question: does spilling blood on your enemies door help over-throw them?<\/li>\n
"It’s thinner than a laptop. It’s lighter than a laptop. It’s got longer battery life than a laptop. But most importantly, this is a personal device. And it’s – in the same way that your phone is something that you bring into your life rather than change your life for it, a tablet is something that you lean back, you cradle."<\/li>\n
