- An alternate universe: A report on Microsoft’s launch of the “Surface with Windows RT.” Clumsy imitation is not a good business stratgy.
- Truth, Lies, and ‘Doxxing’: The Real Moral of the Gawker/Reddit Story: The analysis at the end isn’t anything to write home about, but these three cases of exposing private information are really interesting for thinking about defamation.
- NYPD Cop Busted Before He Can Kidnap, Cook, and Eat Women: Um, stay classy, NYPD? Pretty please…
- Things Holly and I have argued about this week: I was in hysterics as I read these stories.
- Shoeshine stand torched in celebration: “Morons set [the shoeshine stand of Larry Moore, the dapper, homeless shoe shiner of Market Street] ablaze because … well, there’s nothing that says World Series celebration like burning down a homeless man’s only source of income.” Yeah, that’s sarcasm. The good news is that more than enough money has already been raised to repair the damage done.
- MIT Gangnam Style: I’m pretty sure that Paul Hsieh’s MIT experience was exactly like this… but you have to watch to the end!
- Supreme Court denies Personhood Oklahoma case: Atlee Breeland of Parents Against Personhood has an excellent analysis of the Supreme Court’s refusal to hear Personhood Oklahoma’s appeal.
