Lessons From Steve Jobs
The Ririan Project present 10 Golden Lessons From Steve Jobs. Good stuff.
Amazon Steps In It
While simultaneously promoting itself as an enabler of Web 2.0 technologies — the web as a platform, Amazon (technically Alexa) is suing Statsaholic.
ZDNet notes:
Who can blame (Bezos) for being uncomfortable? Here he is sitting in a room full of small developers who depend on open APIs and mashups, and at any moment the crowd could [...]
The Zimmers – My Generation

Ethics and Shiny Badges
O’Reilly started it, the New York Times plastered it on the front page, Jarvis is dead-on and Gruber has the cliff notes version.
