“[K]nowledgeable sources say that Bloomberg’s cash offer is in the $2 million to $5 million range and that it has agreed to assume liabilities, including potential severance payments.[…] At its peak in 2000, BusinessWeek had a record 6,000 ad pages and operating profits of $100 million. Some analysts at the time valued the magazine at $1 billion.”

1) another sign of the waning power of print media.
2) more importantly, how that valuation failed to translate into digital.

don’t blame television; blame the ease with which we believe it. saying that “television lies” is like saying, “food kills.” yes, some foods will kill you. don’t eat them.

“Search Engine Optimization is not a legitimate form of marketing. It should not be undertaken by people with brains or souls. If someone charges you for SEO, you have been conned.”

Derek Powazek in the best SEO rant I’ve ever seen. (via davidkaneda)
I call bullshit. There are ways to enhance the utility of your site from the perspective of search engines. There just are. Some people are better at this than others, if only because they have more experience. There are entire businesses built on SEO (About.com) that couldn’t exist without SEO experts. If someone makes an absolute statement about virtually everything and you believe them, you have been conned.

i’m with mike. you can disagree with the morality of various SEO consultants, but you can’t deny that good SEO works for both companies and users. how do i know? empirical data. metrics. benchmarks. when i make changes, things happen.
EDIT: upon further review, i agree with his main points: build good websites and some SEOs are conmen. i agree that what we know as SEO is a necessary part of building a good website, just like good design & UX. however, i disagree that seo is “common sense.” the thriving SEO (and i would add, social media) industry - illegitimate or not - indicates that it’s not common sense. i’ve worked with enough intelligent clients to know that some things just don’t occur to people. perhaps they’re stuck in a paradigm. or perhaps most web designers couldn’t care less about search-friendly code because all they care about is how it looks. SEO. Social Media. Graphic design. User experience. Information architecture. these are disciplines, a solid combination of which makes a good website perform well.

The Dyson Air Multiplier Doesn’t Suck, It Blows | Editor’s Desk | Fast Company
“Normally, fans create moving air by chopping and pushing air, with angled, rotating blades. The Dyson Air Multiplier, by contrast, blows just a single sheet of air, from a thin opening towards the rear of it’s circular wing. (The fan is driven by a motor similar to those in jet turbines and turbochargers.)
The 16-degree slope of that wing creates negative pressure around the moving air sheet—thus sucking more air along for the ride. All told, the air emanating from the fan gets multiplied 15-fold. So, while the Dyson actually blows relatively little air, it eventually generates a substantial breeze—about 118 gallons of air per second, which is comparable to other, upper-tier fans. (By comparison, a Vornado 9” blade fan pushes around 35 gallons of air per second.) Since the fan isn’t chopping the air, the wind it generates doesn’t buffet you. It isn’t turbulent. It feels uncannily like a natural breeze.”

“When did the Nobel Peace Prize become the Grammy for best new artist?”

Correction: The Artist We Encourage To Be the Best New Artist
the Nobel Peace Prize isn’t necessarily awarded for what one has accomplished, but an encouragement to do the good things you’ve said you would do. in this light, it makes perfect sense that Obama won. he set the bar pretty high for himself.
however, while it justifies obama’s prize, it lends no credibility whatsoever to the award itself.
