"Connecting the dots," is a weighty metaphor. Oliver Stone abused the concept. The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, emphasized the gravity of doing so competently. With the information that comes to us in our profession, floods over the transom, we need to take shortcuts. I rely on the pithy e-mail that lands regularly in my in-box from the ABA Journal Weekly...
It may seem a little strange to see the nation's top-selling print newspaper pairing with an online news aggregator and social networking site, but today's announcement of a partnership between USA TODAY and Fark.com is just further proof of print's ongoing quest to expand in the digital space. Starting today, USATODAY.com's Tech section will exclusively host and sponsor Fark's Geek page , which in...
First up, from Across the Curve: Heightened concerns about the global banking sector are front and center today. There are two press articles to note. The first is the FAZ story warning that the two regional banks that hold a majority stake in West LB indicate they are prepared to let the bank become insolvent.

Whether you use it as a nanny cam or for any other covert purpose, it can sit innocuously on your desk or adorn your wall, looking innocently like a clock which it functions as. This sophisticated DVR works on motion sensor technology and so does not cause any unnecessary battery drain. It provides up to 20 hours of actual video and can last for a year on a stand by basis with just one full charge....
Wow, I’m sensing another TechMeme Storm rising (and a certain analyst would call it a circle j***, but that’s another matter). Robert Scoble says he was wrong when he said In 2006 he wouldn’t use any news aggregator or feeds that aren’t full text . I think the Scobleizer is wrong now that he says he was wrong. :-) His key argument is that his reading habits changed, he relies...
In 2006 I wrote that I wouldn’t use any news aggregator or feeds that aren’t full text. I was wrong. See, I often do get it wrong. Or, even if I’m right today, I can be proven wrong tomorrow by market changes. What changed since 2006? 1. I have moved about 70% of my reading behavior to iPhone [...]
