Re: Thoughts On A Touch Screen Mac

It would be great for surfing the web... but not good for typing anything. Also how do you lie down with a tablet? It needs to be propped up somehow I would think.

Besides sounding like a Led Zeppelin lyric, the Vale of Cashmere is also a prime birding spot especially for hawk watchers. I don't like to go there without my dog because there's always sketchy looking dudes there, which doesn't help my hawk watching too much.

i really like the shot above with the netting/fencing... nice contrast between nature and manmade.

It seems weird to see an off-center keyboard but I guess it's necessary with the other controls on this laptop.

The whole "you are outperforming lydia" part seems a bit cruel considering it's someone's finances you are talking about. Is Facebook really the right venue to let your friends know they've made poor investment decisions?

Re: What Twitter and Facebook Can Learn From Phish

nice article- i'm surprised you made it all the way through without throwing in an "expanding exponentially" line. phish's popularity as a non-mainstream band keeps them from becoming mainstream simply because all the shows sell out quickly before a casual fan has time to decide to go check them out live. plus they genre hop which makes it hard to explain their sound to a non-fan. but the main point is that they spread via word of mouth.

Re: How to Deal with People who are Stealing your Content

CraziestGadgets.com — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:29:43 -0000

I find this a little trickier in my genre (gadgets). The discovery of the gadget and reporting on it first is most important. Often I'll find a new gadget, write it up with a link to the manufacturer or a retailer's page and then find another blog has 'scooped' the gadget without listing my site as a source when it's pretty obvious they took the idea from me. Even a tiny "via" or "source" at the bottom linking to me is fine but many sites don't do this.

I find a lot of the content scrapers actually link back to me, which is not ideal but acceptable. As long as they link, Google should hopefully (or eventually) get it right.

Re: Lost Remote: The Business of Journalism

You can't expect the Tribune to say something like "we were second" on a story like this. This reeks a bit of tooting their own horn and expecting readers to believe they are they have authority but the fact remains that TMZ broke the story. Claiming they had the "fastest, most credible information" is a bit of a stretch.

Newspapers have to realize their strength is depth of coverage and not speed of reporting.

You can send in your own dog's fur to this company and they will knit it up for you or send you the dog yarn. I think my dog sheds enough to clothe half of Vermont.
