- Digg This, Huffington Post: What’s $200 Million Now Worth? – Advertising Age – The Media Guy – “Because, unlike Salon, which (naively, old-fashionedly) pays for its content, HuffPo has an ethically questionable content-generation scheme: It doesn’t pay most of its bloggers at all. Worse, it sometimes even lifts content wholesale from other sites that do pay for their own content, as the Chicago Reader’s Whet Moser noted in a few outraged blog posts that briefly made a ripple last month on Jim Romenesko’s media site as well as on Gawker (“Arianna Huffington’s Scuzzy Copying Pisses Off Chicagoans”). In other words, the Huffington Post is sort of the Napster-circa-2000 of content sites in that its business model, more or else, is: Only suckas pay for content, baby! And that’s gotta be worth something, right?”

Thomas Tempelmann – Applications – Find Any File – “This is a free program for Mac OS 10.4 and later that lets you search for files on your disks, primarily on HFS formatted ones.
Contrary to Spotlight, it does not use a database but instead uses the file system driver’s fast search operations.
This lets you search for file properties such as name, dates, size, etc., but not for file content (use Spotlight for that)!
Find Any File can find files that Spotlight doesn’t, e.g. those inside bundles and packages and in inside folders that are excluded from Spotlight search (i.e. system files).
And Find Any File is fast. Not always as fast as Spotlight, but faster than other, similar file search tools you might find for the Mac.”
- Jobs’ Health Message Makes Little Sense, Experts Say | Wired Science from Wired.com – “The third thread is the “straightforward” remedy for his “nutritional problem.” According to Lustig, that conflicts with the rest of Jobs’ statement. “Endocrine problems are not nutritional, and vice versa,” he said. “Hyperthyroidism can cause weight loss. Endocrine deficiency could cause weight loss. But they don’t rob your body of proteins, and the remedies aren’t nutritional.” Neither would nutrition suffice to treat cancer.”

- If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger, There’d Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats: Annals of Crime #56 – “Pittsburgh — With her door key for a weapon, Mrs. Hilda Hess of Pittsburgh strikes the fighting pose with which she whaled the tar out of a young thug who snatched her purse. Mrs. Hess, a former barmaid, chased the robber for several blocks, cornered him in an alley and gave him a going over until he returned her property. He then took to his heels. When he had vanished, Mrs. Hess looked in the purse and found that the sixty-some dollars she had in it had gone with the wind. (1947)”
