Max Blumental reports on The Daily Beast that Sarah Palin may have quit her job today because she was trying to avert a major, yet-to-be-disclosed corruption scandal. The gist of the rumor is that an Alaska building company called Spenard Building Supplies (SBS) was awarded a contract by Palin to build a hockey arena in Wasilla, AK, and in return, SBS helped construct Palin’s home: Many political observers in Alaska are fixated on rumors that ...

Okay, it’s not exactly the Camp David Summit that took place in 2000 between the Israelis and the Palestinians, but sometimes the littlest gestures can go a long way. A couple of days ago, upon hearing that Microsoft had officially joined Twitter, the official Linux account sent out a tweet welcoming them. “Welcome to Twitter, @Microsoft!,” they said. The tweet sat unanswered for over a day, and it seemed like Microsoft may never answer. But ...

Recently, I’ve noticed something. If you send me an email, the likelihood that I’m going to respond is pretty small. But if you send me a message on Twitter, the likelihood that I’ll respond is much higher. Certainly, part of it is that I get less messages on Twitter. But you might be surprised at how close it’s getting in volume when you add @replies to direct messages. The bigger factor for me, is the ...

Retweeting, as we’ve mentioned before (see HOW TO: Retweet on Twitter), is an increasingly popular way to share content on the web. Twitter is such a powerful tool for sharing media, in fact, that the former market leaders are racing to keep up. News sharing site Digg recently added short URLs and attempted to append a toolbar to those short URL clicks (Diggbar was later scaled back), while serendipitous sharing site StumbleUpon also got into ...

After 30 years, Compuserve is finally, totally, mostly dead (the email addresses still work). I was always a local BBS and GEnie guy, but there's no doubting the power and influence of Compuserve in introducing the idea of networked communications to a generation, and proving the business-case for commercial online activity: The original CompuServe service, first offered in 1979, was shut down this past week by its current owner, AOL. The service, which provided its ...

中国工业和信息化部明确表示绿坝强制预装令的实施只是时间问题。金惠公司开发的绿坝软件目前所知的是只有Windows 32位版，不支持64位电脑，Mac和Linux系统。 但现在绿坝开发商金惠表示他们正在测试Mac版绿坝，未来苹果商店也将遵循政府命令预装过滤程序。苹果公司拒绝对此发表评论，在中国苹果电脑广泛应用于设计领域。

movesguy sends us to The Daily Galaxy for comments by Stephen Hawking about how humans are evolving in a different way than any species before us. Quoting: "'At first, evolution proceeded by natural selection, from random mutations. This Darwinian phase, lasted about three and a half billion years, and produced us, beings who developed language, to exchange information. I think it is legitimate to take a broader view, and include externally transmitted information, as well ...

روز به روز بر محبوبیت توییتر افزوده میشود، دیگر کمتر شخص مشهور و کاربر اینترنت را میتوان یافت که حسابی در توییتر نداشته باشد، هر روز لحظهنگاشتهایی با موضوعات مختلف ننویسد و توییتر خود را با شیوههای مختلف به روز نکند. اما هر کاربر توییتر بعد از مدتی فعالیت در توییتر متوجه میشود که دچار محدودیت خاصی است: با گذشت زمان ما با دنبال کردن توییتر اشخاص مختلف، حسابی توییتر خودمان را شلوغ میکنیم، طوری ...
