The New York Times > Opinion > Op-Ed Columnist: Geo-Greening by Example

It's a shame that Karl Rove and not Thomas Friedman is the primary policy wonk in the White House right now. The price our kids will pay...The New York Times > Opinion > Op-Ed Columnist: Geo-Greening by Example

The New York Times > Health > Huge Genome Project Is Proposed to Fight Cancer

Why should there be a struggle to find the money to find a nine year effort to create a database of cancer dna data for the purpose of gaining amazing insight for cancer researchers? Congress can make sure that Terri Schiavo has a bill to prolong her life, but can they help our researchers to eradicate cancer?

This guy founded Palm and Handspring and is supposedly a very smart guy. It will be very interesting to follow the progress of the business and to hear the Audible version of their book 'On Intelligence'.

These are way cool... Apple - Mac mini

I want one of these with a 40" flat panel LCD HDTV. The combo with cable DSL is the ultimate entertainment/PC setup. Apple - Mac mini

PC Mini

I really want to get a PC Mini, but they don't exist yet. This idea from Apple, the Mac Mini, is ahead of its time. The concept is a small pc that fits in your entertainment center. With this device hooked up to cable and a 30 LCD flatscreen you have the ultimate entertainment center. You can view you PC and HDTV simultaneously. You can stream bittorrent files and record TV. You can view digital photos and edit your videos. Hook up your wireless keyboard and you're doing it all from your bed... I'm definitely going to get a PC Mini and hopefully a 30" flat screen television in the near future.PC Mini

Wired 12.10: The Long Tail

This article and it's outlook is creating a fair amount of buzz. The premise is what I told Amazon when I interviewed there for position as the Sr. PM for Digital Music. They didn't believe that the market for indie was that promising... Wired 12.10: The Long Tail

Scripting News: 3/3/2005: This is a great quote from someone who's been there and gets it.

Scripting News: 3/3/2005: "I've gotten a lot of email from reporters asking how I know that Mark Lucovsky, Microsoft's distinguished operating system architect, is now working at Google. Well, I have good sources. And you could always read his blog, about life at Google. He says: 'Microsoft used to know how to ship software, but the world has changed. The companies that 'know how to ship software' are the ones to watch. They have embraced the network, deeply understand the concept of 'software as a service,' and know how to deliver incredible value to their customers efficiently and quickly.'"

The genie is out of the bottle

This week's Newsweek cover has a "photo illustration" of Martha Stewart. This image is a composite of multiple images and is not called out as such. This is symbolic of the trend toward reality becoming far less real. In courts, business and the media the line between what is a real image and what is composed is now definitely obscured.MSNBC - Martha Breaks Out

From Scripting News: 3/2/2005

Scripting News: 3/2/2005: "Okay, we don't know for a fact that Google is working on an operating system, but the tea leaves are pretty damned clear. Why else would they have hired Microsoft's operating system architect, Mark Lucovsky? Surely not to write a spreadsheet or word processor."

This would make a lot of sense, since their current business model has holes in it. Yesterday the e-Retail analyst Carrie Johnson asked "How many of you have clicked on one of those right side bar ads?". That's a great question and one that I'm sure is being asked by a lot of the Google advertisers. With the brain trust at Google and the marketcap, they've got an opportunity which will be very interesting to watch.

This is a great magazine, which I recently subscribed to (print edition) with a great article on celebrities arriving at the Academy Awards in their Prius... Right on, and now we just have to get political leadership to think the same way!Worthwhile: Prius -- The "Kleenex" of Green Car Brands
