Comcast not fined, but must stop blocking P2P traffic (4)
on CrunchGear (647) permalinkHere’s an update to the story about the FCC versus Comcast that we posted on Wednesday. The FCC has officially ruled today and it turns out that Comcast will not be fined for throttling peer-to-peer network traffic, but it will have to stop discriminating against certain internet traffic until the company comes up with a compliance plan “to fully disclose its practices” to customers. Bloomberg reports that the five-member FCC panel voted 3-2 against Comcast. ...Contribute comment

How "EOM" Makes Your Email More Efficient [Email] (124)
on Lifehacker (6610) permalinkYesterday, I sent a quick email to let people know what time I was arriving on site. It was something simple like: "Brad will be there at 9:30AM. Thanks! EOM". Within seconds a reply came back "What does EOM mean?" In my smartypants way I responded: "End of message. Used it to save you the time of opening the message and having to reply, which by virtue of you replying has defeated its purpose.

Opinion: What Productivity Studies Really Show (47)
on Lifehacker (6610) permalinkEvery time a new research study around personal productivity and office culture appears, we dutifully post the "proof" that information overload, email distractions, and multitasking are keeping you from getting work done—but are they? Sure, many of these findings seem very feasible, but it's hard not to think they're published only as a crutch for a larger commercial or media message—either "the internet is destroying your life!" or "you need to buy this product."

- rnordman said: A contrarian - which I like!
- Tim said: I like this one. Count me as a skeptic as well regarding the productivity dangers of the Internet and email. Used properly, they are tools that substantially accelerate individual productivity. I wonder how many studies and articles were written describing the horrific effects of the steam engine at the start of the Industrial Revolution?
- Skrud said: Pretty good read taking a critical look at studies boasting various "productivity" problems and enhancements.

This Is The World The Machines Made [Space Porn] (7)

But it's not a giant set for the new Terminator movie, it's the remains of the Bolivian rainforest, after massive clear-cutting. The red areas are the places where vegetation still exists.

Startup Job Site Gets Backing From Y Combinator, Relauches As Startuply (30)

She's trapped in a dead-end relationship with the blue guy, but she's helping Nite Owl fly his freak flag by having an affair with him! It makes me wonder if ...Contribute comment
