Wer mit kritischen Staatsanwälten und Strafverteidigern spricht, weiß, dass das geflügelte Wort von der “objektivsten Behörde” eine Illusion ist, die allenfalls dazu taugt, naiven Studenten davon zu erzählen. Die gesetzliche Regel stellt schon lange die Ausnahme dar. Die Mehrzahl der Staatsanwälte verteidigt nicht das Recht, sondern allein die Anklage: rein taktisch wird mehr angeklagt, als die Sache hergibt …, die U-Haft wird zur Aussagegewinnung missbraucht, Belastungszeugen werden geschont und Entlastungszeugen hart attackiert. Die Unschuldsvermutung und ...

Updated 10:00 a.m. Jerry Yang isn’t formally stepping down as Yahoo’s chief executive until a successor is found, but Wall Street is already throwing him a going-away party — to the tune of $2.3 billion. That’s how much Yahoo’s market value increased in pre-market trading Tuesday morning, as investors reacted to the previous night’s news that Mr. [...]

Given Citigroup's stated plans, a massive headcount reduction announced today is sure to include a fair share of IT jobs. The financial giant said on Monday it was planning to reduce headcount by a staggering 52,000 employees over the next few months -- the largest reduction by a company since IBM 's layoffs of 60,000 employees back in 1993, and the 50,000 cuts by Sears that same year, says executive outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & ...

The Wall Street Journal has some advice — we're guessing unsolicited — for Walt Disney CEO Robert Iger: Maybe it's time to buy Electronic Arts. Why? Well, the price might be right (right now) given that EA's stock has taken a pretty serious hit lately, partly due to general economic turmoil and on second quarter corporate earnings from the Madden publisher that WSJ calls "disappointing." Why does it makes sense? WSJ notes two potential "win-wins." ...

Well, okay, I don’t know what number this case would be if there were cases, but it’d be high. The other day Jeremiah Owyang tweet’d about Frank Eliason at Comcast who is the twitter/social media go-to guy for all things Comcast service (can you imagine the traffic?). I was so impressed with what he was doing that I wrote a blog post on it, you can find it here. My blog posts immediately ping twitter ...

In the quest for URL shortener dominance in this era of the microblog and limited message space, BudURL comes out swinging. Going toe to toe with other URL shrinkers, BudURL combines metrics with URL shortening. I am always wary of tools that try to combine metrics with social media, like Twitter Grader and Twitter Follower Friend Ratio. The main reason for this is the risk that people who don’t understand the nature of social media ...
