Scripting News

Google PR sends a message that they have a new News service. Maybe I’m slow this morning, or maybe I’m spoiled, but what’s the big deal. I thought they already had this. My personal aggregator is better, it shows me what I’m interested in, it’s not one size fits all. Help me figure this out. I’m sure there’s something innovative here, I just don’t see it.

0.They did already have this feature, it has been a public beta for a while, but it wasn’t featured on the front page and was undergoing revisions.
1. You just need a web browser to use it, not an install of Radio.
2. All the feeds are already there, you don’t have to find them and subscribe to them.
3. It groups stories on the same subject together.

*4. The search feature lets you are intersted in right NOW, not what you were interested in whenever you last updated your newsfeed subscriptions.*

The front page is nice, but judging from the way the product evolved during the beta, the news search feature is the main point, not the standard front page.

Scroll down to the bottom of the front page of news.google.com. Read the fine print. It says “This page was generated entirely by computer algorithms without human editors.” Think about that. Use the search functionality. Think what they can built on this foundation.

IBM, MS reject MySQL

“So far, I still see MySQL and some of the other open-source databases as really niche players,” said Sheryl Tullis, product manager for the SQL Server database at Microsoft.

Lets see, it isn’t as good as more established products, but it is good enough for a lot of tasks and it is a whole hell of alot cheaper. Sounds superficially like a typical disruptive technology.

model / smoker?

I’m looking for a few interesting models for a fetish site I’m working on. You should be interesting looking, easy in front of the camera, a smoker and 18 or over to late 20’s, or at least look like it. Decent $ and some easy fun work are part of the deal.

No mention of whether the model is responsible for her own smoking materials.

Hershey Barred – How Pennsylvania

Hershey Barred – How Pennsylvania officials screwed poor kids out of $1 billion by stopping the sale of the candy-maker. By Daniel Gross

Here was an instance where all fiduciaries performed as they were supposed to. The trust sought to diversify its assets so the beneficiaries wouldn’t be too dependent on a single stock. The management and board of Hershey, acceding to the desires of a controlling shareholder, initiated and aggressively pursued a process that likely would have resulted in their losing their own jobs. The investment banker pursued and rounded up a highly attractive offer.

Russell Crow is looking like

Russell Crow is looking like a real dork.

First, he acts up in a bar and is restrained in a headlock by a woman until he calms down.

More recently, he tried to pick a fight in a bar with a couple of guys and would likely have gotten his ass kicked had his personal trainer not bailed him out. His trainer, by the way, is a woman.

I think he should just give up on the whole tough guy thing, because it obviously isn’t working for him.
