Maybe just shave a bit 
Raising the bra
| | That's the headline that comes to mind when I read Bill Gates' most famous recent speech. It's like, blah blah networking blah blah storage blah blah tablets, blah blah RFID, blah blah templates, blah blah RSS, blah blah spam, blah blah MSDN... Huh? wtf? Rewind.... |
| | That RSS item launches the longest section of the speech: seven paragraphs that read to me like they were ghosted by Ross Mayfield. I just went to Ross's blog and he quotes five of those same 'graphs. Coincidence? |
Additional definition for Scobleization
| | Notice that Scoble is sounding more and more like Microsoft's press secretary? (I mean that as a compliment, btw.) |
Gang up again
A picture is worth a thousand spins
| | Chris Nolan: Osama Bin Laden is having a pretty good month. |
Coincidence?
| | In the next several hours (I'm writing this at 2:10am Pacific Time) the setting crescent Moon will pass near (or, depending on your location, directly across) the bright "star" Venus. Together they will do their best to depict the symbol of Islam and the flags of eleven countries from Malaysia to Turkey. Coincidentally, the Muslim world will feature some of the best locations for viewing this sunset show. We'll miss it here in America. |
| | For those with binoculars or telescopes, the visible shape of Venus is an identical crescent. From our perspective here on Earth, the spheres of both the Moon and Venus are placed at identical angles to the Sun. Except for their illuminated smiles, we face their shadowed sides. |
