  1. The truth about Orkut.com
    
    (Corante:Many-to-Many)
  2. Orkut.com turns out to be a master's thesis project?
    
    In my previous screeds on this topic I just couldn't shake the creepiness of the whole social software category that seems to be developing. I think there's something important to be learned by studying the ways in which we humans form networks and cliques and communities. But it's the whole dot-com style mania simmering in the Friendsters, Tribe.nets, Ryze, etc., etc., etc. that's just annoying. One thing orkut did teach us: there's definitely a mob-mentality/hivemind vibe flowing through many parts of the blogosphere, aka 'da echo chamber.' Sign up for this! All the cool kids are doing it! Don't be left behind! What would really be cool is if we find out the master's thesis project isn't a school project at all... it's a marketing plan for, yup, a social software company. After all, didn't Google start under similar circumstances? Stay tuned.

  1. Workplace data theft runs rampant
    
    (BBC)
  2. Research into intellectual property theft found that almost 70% of people have stolen key information from work. "The surprising thing is the level to which people believe this is acceptable." said Chris Watson of data forensics firm Ibas. Women were 20% more likely to think that taking key documents and files was acceptable but men were 28% more likely to go through with the theft.
    
    Given the lack of loyalty upper management continues to show to workers, even as those upper managers pay themselves more and more money, how can you blame workers for pilfering information that was, in many cases, the results of their own efforts. (treo)

  1. Breast for Success
    
    (Slate)
  2. Who else is having a blast on The Apprentice? The girls! They are kicking the men's butts by celebrating their own. They've stolen Ally McBeal's resum… but lost the self-doubt ...[b]ut overall, the sex for power bargain is working for them. They are on their way up. There is a perfect synergy between what the young women want and what the old men have, and all the show's sparks comes from that truth.
    
    Can we get off of this breast theme? First Janet's not-so-itty-bitty-titty-heard-round-the-world, and now this? I think the writer greatly overstates her case here when she calls the slatterns on "The Apprentice" beautiful, after all, this is not "America's Top Model." From what I've seen of the show, the women have been winning, not because they're so sexy, or very good at any of the business tasks they've been given. The women have been winning because the men simply have been that bad. People seem to be focusing on the boobs and missing the reality of the situation.

    Don't like what's going on with these "social software" plays? orkut, Friendster, Ryze, Tribe.net, etc., etc? Well, now you can roll your own. I still don't get it. It seems like it lays the groundwork for a real "Matrix," which could be good, or bad depending on your POV, but in reality all what we're really looking at is a networked address book, that you can share with friends ... and thousands of strangers. Now what's so cool about that?

  1. Columbine-style attack averted
    
    (SF Gate)
  2. [T]he suspects planned to target African American students in their attack. The unidentified white suspects, a freshman and a sophomore, were planning to rob local sporting goods stores, steal weapons, storm the school's cafeteria and shoot students during the lunch hour today, authorities said.
    
    I guess I'll never understand white hatred for black people. I mean, what have we done? Did we put white people in chains? Have we lynched white people? Have we degraded and exploited white people for entertainment and profit ... ad nauseum and ad infinitum? It's stunning, really, this thing, white hatred. We -- seem (not that I completely agree) -- to get the short-end of every possible stick, so exactly what are we taking away from white folk? Given the realities, it's much easier to make a case for black hatred. We certainly have a boatload of reasons, at any level of society you wish to examine. Now in this particular Elk Grove case, I'm really hard-pressed to figure out exactly what black people did to these high-school students that would make them want to kill, but I'm sure whatever the reason is I still won't get it.

  1. Race only skin deep
    
    (Mercury News)
  2. It was a highly technical genetics experiment involving polymerase chain reactions and gel electrophoresis. But it yielded deep revelations that forced the identity-conscious teens to re-evaluate their differences. And it prompted students to ponder a perplexing question: Does race exist? ...Most geneticists attribute human differences to environmental adaptations, not race.
    
    So, following this line of reason, bigots don't practice "racism," they practice "environmentalism!" If it's an "'ism" it can't be good.

  1. NYC Hip-Hop mogul sounds off on politics
    
    (NY Daily News)
  2. Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simmons: "A room of 700 people and almost everyone was white! The Republicans would look more inclusive." ...[E]vent organizer Laurie David, wife of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star Larry David, tried to be diplomatic, "My only thought was, it's great Russell Simmons is here and I'm pleased to see him."
    
    Wow, Laurie, you're so sincere. That sounds more like something Larry would say ... on the show. In fact, imagining what this scene looked like in real life, I envision a set-up straight off of the "Curb..." set. Well, however you look at the parts, the sum total is still the same: the Republicans, by and large, care nothing about African American issues, and the Democrats only pretend to care until election day; the minute they step out of the voting booth, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. Don't listen to what they say. Just watch what they do.

  1. GarageBand Kicks Out the Jams
    
    (Wired News)
  2. Technologies like GarageBand mark a return to the time before recorded music, when a lot of people had a piano at home and took as much pleasure in making music as listening to it.
    
    I know that "religious battles" over which OS is better are stupid and neverending, but when was the last time you heard people rave about anything coming out of the Windows church? When have you ever heard anyone using Windows and "creativity" in the same sentence ... besides this one, of course? The more time people spend creating their own music, writing their own stories, and making their own movies, the less time they'd spend consuming prefabricated corporate "entertainment." Forget about the music industry and Hollywood: entertain yourself and your friends.

  1. Clarett wins lawsuit against NFL
    
    (ESPN.com)
  2. A federal judge opened the door for Ohio State sensation Maurice Clarett and teenage football stars to turn pro, declaring Thursday that an NFL rule barring their eligibility violates antitrust law and "must be sacked."
    
    It will be interesting to see what kind of plan the NFL develops to exploit the situation. You hear a lot of self-righteous blather from the League's talking heads, but at the end of the day, all they seem to care about is how they can take advantage of the situation and make dumptruck-loads of money. The question to ask is does the NFL really care about young, high-school students, or does it care more about cold, hard cash? Cha-ching!

Half-a-second of partially-exposed flesh warrants an FCC investigation? Surely those boobs have more to do with their time -- and our tax dollars -- than investigating the sudden appearance of a real boob, good size, no silicone or saline, nicely shaped... hmmm... you know what, Janet, you go girl!
