I really wanted to shoot for a new DX, but at this price, it is just too damn attractive. And the new form factor should make it easier to hold with one hand.

“According to the findings, seven out of 10 Americans could have landed their dream job last month if they had known where they see themselves in five years, and the number of unemployed could be reduced from 14.6 million to 5 million if everyone simply greeted potential employers with firmer handshakes, maintained eye contact, and stopped fiddling with their hair and face so much.” —
Funnier because we are interviewing candidates today and tomorrow.
“The Kindle as razor. Buy any 8 bestselling books on the Kindle ($10 each) and get a paperback Kindle for free.” —
I was going to call bullshit on Seth’s more recent post on the $139 Kindle (he says it is $90 too expensive) but he is 100% on the money: the Kindle at this stage is a powerful candidate for a razor and cartridges business model (don’t make money on the Kindle, use it as a gimmick to sell eBooks).
Amazon rolls out smaller, lighter, WiFi-only Kindle for $139

It is weak that the Aston Martins are under-represented, especially since they couldn’t even get a hold of a DB-5.
Lovely: how can you trust these leaked documents to be accurate when REPORTERS that were embedded with troops during these incidents find holes in the reports?
Two problems:
1. These are raw data, and war is fluid. You can’t pick just one report and assume everything in it is accurate and absolute (funny thing, that is the same of every work document I have read for the past 20 years or so!). You can’t get a full picture unless you have ALL documents at hand that deal with that particular incident.
2. These documents aren’t authenticated, and their contents have not been signed digitally. This means that you can’t tell who authored them, and if there has been any tampering with their contents since the document was published. What stops some reckless individual from peppering these reports with inaccuracies or blatant lies? There is no way for us to determine that the report is intact, or that it is even legitimate. All that we know is that so many thousand reports were leaked through an anonymous source.
So basically, we know nothing. What stops a clever group of individuals from holing up in a basement for three months and cranking out a few thousands of fake “leaked” reports on whatever and dump them on wikileaks in one shot?
