He wrote a post about what he thought was an err in the British Periodical The Economist, where he was actually in err.

| No One’s Perfect Dept: How Steve Jobs Missed the Music Revolution | | 2008-06-12 20:46:00 | | On the heels of Apple’s announcement of a $199 iPhone and the company’s continuing surge, it’s instructive to recall that CEO Steve Jobs isn’t always right. Enter the year 2001 into your Apple Time Machine to a period when the company was recording a $195 million loss — the only loss suffered since Jobs’ return to One Infinity Loop. The problem: iMac sales were dropping, partly because they lacked CD burners. Jobs had forseen the computer transforming into a control center for the entertainment digital hub, but his bet was that digital video — not music — was going to be a key to the iMac’s future success. He missed even what his own customers were showing him. “The rush to digital was especially marked in dorm rooms and, though college kids were a big source of iMac sales, Apple had no jukebox software for managing collections of digital music,” writes Wired editor Leander Kahney in his new book, Inside Steve’s Brain.obs later recalled he “felt like a dope” | | By: Brain Power | | |

| From the Quick Hits Dept.: Transferring Feeds Between Accounts | | 2008-03-11 10:30:00 | | Alright, so we're a little behind on announcing this feature as well. It's been live for weeks and is a real time-saver for everyone involved: the new, self-service Feed Transfer capability. As more and more people build blogs and burn feeds, changes in content ownership and control lead to the desire to move a FeedBurner feed from one account to another. In ye goode olde days, someone who wanted to transfer a feed to another account used to a submit a request to us, and then a staffer in our own Central Planning and Command-Line Voodoo department would verify the accounts and then complete the actual feed transfer. Reliable, but time-consuming and tedious for all parties involved.
Away with workaday drudgery! If you own a feed, you may now transfer it to anyone you like simply by using the Transfer Feed… link, which is listed on your feed's details page and is handily pictured below:
Just provide the email address of the person you wish to transfer this feed to and FeedBurn | | By: Fun Maza | | |

| | | Dept. of Making Money: July 2007 Update | | 2007-08-02 18:04:02 | |
After getting involved in several other monetization programs and projects, I was able to almost double my June earnings.
I got a lot more page views and new readers, and tons of new subscribers! Thank you to everyone who visits and sticks around to enjoy my content. I appreciate you!
July was an extremely busy month, but August will be slow, as far as paid posting goes. Not only am I working a lot of extra hours in the upcoming 2 weeks, but I will be moving/on vacation for 3 weeks beginning in August.
I hope to see an increase in paid advertisements on the site instead; and want to really focus on making that move.
If you have any suggestions on how to make myself more attractive to link ad providers, graphical ad advertisers, etc., let me know!

| | Stupid Rappers Dept.: Remy Ma | | 2007-07-16 06:59:35 | | As of tonight, she’s plead not guilty to the charges related to this shooting. What is really wrong with people? Shooting your FRIEND?
A foul-mouthed Bronx rapper surrendered to police yesterday after she allegedly shot a pal in the Meatpacking District during a spat over $2,000, law enforcement sources said.
“Please don’t let me die!” Makeda Barnes-Joseph had screamed as she lay bleeding on the ground next to her car in the trendy neighborhood.
“Am I going to die?” Barnes-Joseph cried at 3:50 a.m. on W. 14th St. near Washington St.
Before she was taken off in an ambulance, she identified her attacker as Remy Ma - best known as the former leading lady of rapper Fat Joe’s Terror Squad, police sources said.
The hip-hop hothead sped away in a Cadillac Escalade, but she crashed a few blocks away and then fled on foot, police sources said.
Supposedly, she felt that Makeda stole 2K from her purse. Now I might beat somebody up about stealing 2K from | | By: thepinkc | | |

| | Dept. of Making Money: Merchant Accounts | | 2007-07-10 22:26:40 | | Why do I need a merchant account? Almost everyone uses credit and debit cards today! When you own a business, you do not want to lose out on sales because you don’t have the capabilities to accept debit or credit cards.
How does a merchant account work?. A merchant account helps businesses accept, process and receive payments for credit and debit card payments.
What kind of businesses can use merchant accounts? All kinds of businesses! Have you ever been out to dinner in a restaurant and paid with your credit or debit card? Those restaurants have merchant accounts. Do you shop at small shops and stores in your town? They have merchant accounts, too! No matter what size or where the business is, they can all use merchant accounts.
What are the benefits to me and my business? Simply, there are two major benefits: 1) Increased sales - if you limit customers to just paying cash, those who do not carry cash will not be able to frequent your business. 2) Repeat customers - everyone li | | By: thepinkc | | |

Lately I've come across with this very inspirational story that you cannot miss, and it is real. I felt a gush of energy flow through my body and I'm ready to challenge everything again after reading this story.

| | Dept. of Messed up Dinner: How to get an ice cold Coke | | 2007-07-04 23:21:25 | |
My youngest brothers love drinking hot soda. Not me. Yuck.
So, I put a Coke in the fridge last night to have today with my 4th of July dinner (KFC). This afternoon, I got up to go get my lunch, I’ll be doggoned - my soda was GONE! I know I didn’t drink it; and I didn’t have enough money to spend $2 on a soda from KFC PLUS get my 4th of July dinner. (Note to self: hide soda from brothers, they’ll drink it hot or cold)
A little searching on the internet provided the directions I needed to chill a hot soda while I ran down the street to get some food:
It would take 20-25 minutes in the freezer to get a Coke sufficiently cold enough to enjoy. But, if you put a soda in a bucket of ice, that would halve that time. If you put water in that ice, it’d be cold (+- 5c) enough to drink in about 4-6 minutes, and if you put salt in that water, you’d reduce the chill time to just over 2 minutes. Agitating the can in the water, rolling it around, reduces the c | | By: thepinkc | | |

In one instance, hacker tools for stealing passwords and other files were found on two internal Homeland Security computer systems. The agency's headquarters sought forensic help from the department's own Security Operations Center and the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team it operates with Carnegie Mellon University. In other cases, computer workstations in the Coast Guard and the Transportation Security Administration were infected with malicious software detected trying to communicate with outsiders; laptops were discovered missing; and agency Web sites suffered break-ins.

| | Defense Dept. Blocking MySpace, YouTube | | 2007-05-14 16:44:06 | |
DENVER (AP) - Soldiers serving overseas will lose some of their online links to friends and loved ones back home under a Department of Defense policy that a high-ranking Army official said would take effect Monday.
The Defense Department will begin blocking access “worldwide” to YouTube, MySpace and 11 other popular Web sites on its computers and networks, according to a memo sent Friday by Gen. B.B. Bell, the U.S. Forces Korea commander.
This comes as no surprise, well, actually there is a bit of a surprise involved, and that’s why it hasn’t been done already, there is too much information coming out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the military has always censored communication from troops to home, and vice versa, to some degree…
The armed services have long barred members of the military from sharing information that could jeopardize their missions or safety, whether electronically or by other means.
