“Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you’re wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn’t love you anymore.”

- Lady Gaga

Just wait sweetie. I can think of a long line of former stars who woke up on the wrong side of their careers. Enjoy it while it lasts.

“

Among other things, the investigation revealed that Facebook’s founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, took private Facebook member login information and used it to break into the private email accounts of those members. […]

Facebook has not denied that this incident took place. Facebook also has not denied that Mark later hacked into the servers of a competitor, ConnectU, and changed some user information.

Sounds like old media is finally getting it.

Rush Limbaugh equates Nancy “Bin” Pelosi to terrorist leaders - Media Matters for America

This is a man who, in 2008, signed a deal for $50 million per year for the next eight years:

Mullah Nancy bin Pelosi. She’s no different than these mullahs and these imams who convince all these people to put bombs on their kids and send them out there to blow up.

“

In printed books, the two-page spread was our canvas. It’s easy to think similarly about the iPad. Let’s not. The canvas of the iPad must be considered in a way that acknowledge the physical boundaries of the device, while also embracing the effective limitlessness of space just beyond those edges.

We’re going to see new forms of storytelling emerge from this canvas. This is an opportunity to redefine modes of conversation between reader and content. And that’s one hell of an opportunity if making content is your thing.

Some web 2.Oh-No startup with too much VC to shake a brothel at should create a blogging platform with a UI that looks like The Internet in Johnny Mnemonic. It would be terrible, but lots of nostalgic ”remember what we thought this would look like?” fun to dork around with before the investors find new shiny to chase after.
