Attention Santa Barbarians (and Lost Angelinos) 
| | While the title is the same as the luncheon talk I gave at the Berkman Center last month, the subject is somewhat different. I'll talk more about infrastructure issues (such as what we mean by that noun, and how citizen can build out what the cable/phone duopoly cannot do alone) — and about the Live Web. |
| | It's open to the public. See you there. |
Apple vs. Apple, part N
| | Yesterday I heard from an Apple enterprise customer who had recently bought 80 Macbooks. Ten of them, so far, have had to bo back for heat, shut-down or freezing problems. This customer wondered if they were taking a risk buying another 300 of the things. I told them they clearly were, and suggested holding off on the purchase ‹ since, far as I know, Apple has not acknowledged the problem or dealt with it in a serious way. |
| | Gotta say I'm amazed at Apple's persistent silence on this issue... |
| | There's only one reasonable solution, once Apple licks the technical problem: a full-scale trade-in of lemons for working machines. Anything less will fail to restore a full measure of good will. |
The NewsMill at work
| | What's this about? Did Newsweek actually run a different cover story outside the U.S.? I'm no fan of Chomsky, but is there not a better example of manufacturing consent? |
Good question
| | Joe Andrieu: If, at the end of the day, Attention is to be monetized directly, how do we distinguish the PayPerPost's from more legitimate efforts? |
