- Apple’s Blogger Amnesty Program ★
-
Fake Steve:
In the wake of our devastating loss to Nick dePlume of Think Secret (photo) we are considering rolling out an amnesty program to other Apple bloggers in which they would accept a cash payment in return for a promise never to write another word about Apple for as long as they live. Naturally after this they too could claim victory and hail themselves as champions of the First Amendment.
- New Two-Minute Teaser for Season Four of ‘Lost’ ★
-
I caught up on the entirety of the first three seasons over the summer, on DVD and via iTunes. Can’t wait for the new season — I loved the season three cliffhanger.
- Wii Options Market ★
-
Wii console scarcity in the U.S. has led to a black market outside Best Buys.
(A DF reader in Germany told me Wiis aren’t hard to get in Europe — speculating, reasonably, that because the Euro is strong and the dollar is weak, Nintendo is doing something smart by satisfying European demand first.)
- Tesla Plans to Launch Roadster With ‘Beta’ Transmission ★
-
Public beta for cars.
- Don Rickles: Mr. Warmth ★
-
If you haven’t watched it already, set your TiVo to record it — it’s great.
- Has Google Peaked? ★
-
2005 Slate story from Adam Penenberg speculating that Google had peaked. Since then, Google stock has more than doubled.
- NY Times Story on Think Secret/Apple Deal ★
-
Brad Stone, reporting for The New York Times, doesn’t get any answers either:
Mr. Ciarelli, a senior at Harvard, would not comment on whether Apple had given him money to persuade him to cease publishing. But he said he was pleased with the outcome of the > negotiations.
“We’ve been able to reach a positive solution,” he said in a telephone interview.
The accompanying photo is from 2005, when the lawsuit began. Love the way it makes it look like Ciarelli sits around outside on icy Boston winter days.
