Newspaper to Charge People to Comment →
marco: (via nostrich, sasquatchmedia) From tomorrow, the Sun Chronicle, a Massachusetts paper, will charge would-be commenters a nominal one-off fee of 99 cents. But it has to be paid by credit card, which means providing a real name and address. And the name on the credit card will be the name that will appear on comments. So it’s goodbye to anonymity. This is an excellent idea, and...

Error 503: Microsoft Kin Unavailable →
If Microsoft really only sold 503 Kins, that’s very sad… They even had commercials! But, it’s also super funny since, you know, 503 is a HTTP status code that means your server is failing. :-)

Joe Wilcox’s iPhone 4 Reality Distortion Field
Joe Wilcox’s, This blog post could save you from Steve Jobs’ iPhone 4 Reality Distortion Field, reactionary post to the iPhone 4 announcement flowed through my stream several times yesterday; so I read it; and it’s awkward. Wilcox focuses on five areas he felt Jobs distorted reality for consumers: dimensions, screen, camera, HD video, and front-facing camera. I’m more convinced that Joe...

Scientists in the US have succeeded in developing the first synthetic living cell. The researchers constructed a bacterium’s “genetic software” and transplanted it into a host cell. The resulting microbe then looked and behaved like the species “dictated” by the synthetic DNA. The advance, published in Science, has been hailed as a scientific landmark, but critics say...

The Market Plunge →
There’s a lot of talk about machine to machine interaction coming into our lives. Yesterday afternoon at 2:45pm, we saw what that looks like. For the people who make their living trading in these markets, it was a sick feeling in their stomaches. For the rest of us, I don’t think this is too much of a big deal.

Apple Downloads >> Mac App Store? →
A few weeks ago, Apple ruffled feathers in the developer community by quietly removing the link to the Downloads section from its formerly high-profile location in the main navigation bar on its home page. This disappointed many of us, as it will likely lead to far fewer casual visitors to the Downloads section, and consequently, far fewer click-throughs to our product pages. Recently, The...
