As I said in my blog, regarding Ebert's post...

Ebert may not be an expert in politics, but he's an expert in the world of spectacles.

And Sarah Palin is -to a great extent- a spectacular phenomenon.

I couldn't think of many who are better qualified than Ebert to comment on her magical appearance.

It's also possible that in her religious fervour she was trying to tell Vladimir Putin, by way of paraphrasing Jesus Christ (talking to Peter, from the cross) "I can see your house from here" :-)

Good judgement, wisdom and common sense are rare traits *at any age*.

Just make a little calculation: average age of the first rank officials for $FRE $FNM $LHB $AIG. (not to mention those in the White House, FED, SEC, DOJ)

Barack Obama may be a little green, but he seems to have that rare ingredient -if not sufficiently developed- one thing's for sure: no matter how much long we wait for McCain to grow older, those traits won't surface in him, and there's even less hope that could possibly happen in Gov. Palin. (now that's green, emerald green)

The very fact that McCain selected Ms Palin, to become President of the most powerful nation on earth, with a non-zero chance he may not be able to finish his term, that alone is enough proof for me that good judgement and wisdom take the back seat in the straight talk express.

By my book, that alone makes Obama the *much lesser* of two evils.

Microsoft can't talk about privacy with a straight face.

The very notion of "computer virus" is by all figures an almost exclusive feature of Microsoft's software.

The many holes that have plagued -- and continue to plague -- their software are the single largest threat to online privacy in the entire world, exposing customers private data, identity and businesses. (and as of last week, out of this world too, if you consider the viruses identified in Space Station One)

Shame on Microsoft.

I think one of the biggest news is the release of Joel Postman's new book "SocialCorp: Social Media Goes Corporate".

I have a copy the author sent me and it's really a must have for anyone doing serious business.

It's lightyears ahead of the current "personal branding" echo chamber.
