Some Sunday morning reading to share even though I'm lazy and posting this in the afternoon (and also a bit of listening.)
Let the Crusades begin. The Pope quotes an historical document that knocks Islam. The Muslim world protests and asks for an apology. The Pope says he's sorry for upsetting people, but not for the remarks. More jumping up and down, calls for war, burning churches. I'm just asking here, but doesn't the overreaction sort of prove the point from the original quote?
Lots of blogging about video blogging lately. Should you, should you not. Scoble jumps into the fray. Weird assumption though, that it is for everybody. Anybody got any thoughts? My $.02, great if you want to, not if you don't. What's the big deal?
And speaking of video blogging and video in general, several warning shots fired across the bow of YouTube, and the practice of letting users post up copyrighted material. I've been predicting this for awhile.
On another, but related media front, a BBC report says most iPod users don't load up with content from iTunes. Is all of the DRM craziness simply sending customers to other sources? It is for me.
We now have three airlines banning most Dell and Apple laptops due to exploding battery fears. Will Lenovo be next?
Several conservatives in a Washington Monthly article say it is time for the Republicans to go. Interesting reading. Interesting thinking. Interesting.
Life imitating art. A body washes up on the set of CSI Miami. And it's not the first time.
And speaking of art (I better be careful here), if you're looking for some comedy and mobile tech podcast listening, check out the latest MobileTech Roundup. Hosts James Kendrick, Kevin Tofel, and Matt Miller, take a script from Mark "Sumocat" Sumimoto and turn in a comedy cacophony. I've got to get Kendrick cast in a play.
