“This is no secret to Henry Hirschel, an IT direc­tor on the hunt for a new job, who has found a way around the black hole: Using Google Ana­lyt­ics and tri­an­gu­la­tion tech­niques, he can tell if a hir­ing man­ager or recruiter has read his Word­Press blog, checked out his web­site or looked at his LinkedIn pro­file. He mon­i­tors these three web prop­er­ties every day as part of his job search activities. ”

“Just to under­score a very impor­tant, related point: all of the above-listed peo­ple are exam­ples of America’s Great Mer­i­toc­racy, hav­ing achieved what they have solely on the basis of their tal­ent, skill and hard work — The Amer­i­can Way. By con­trast, Sonia Sotomayor — who grew up in a Puerto Rican fam­ily in Bronx hous­ing projects; whose father had a third-grade edu­ca­tion, did not speak Eng­lish and died when she was 9; whose mother worked as a tele­phone oper­a­tor and a nurse; and who then became vale­dic­to­rian of her high school, summa cum laude at Prince­ton, a grad­u­ate of Yale Law School, and ulti­mately a Supreme Court Jus­tice — is some­one who had a whole litany of unfair advan­tages handed to her and is the poster child for un-American, merit-less advance­ment.” Indeed.

“The facts that the Jour­nal give as ratio­nale for the iPhone being a bad deal for AT&T could eas­ily be made into a good deal propo­si­tion for AT&T. Do you think any other car­rier would like a chance to carry the iPhone?”

Quick and sim­ple but smart rules.

“A report by the US’s top gen­eral in Afghanistan is expected to admit the cur­rent strat­egy is not work­ing. Gen­eral Stan­ley McChrystal’s report is also expected to say that pro­tect­ing the Afghan peo­ple against the Tal­iban must be the US’s top pri­or­ity. But the report will not con­tain any rec­om­men­da­tions on troop numbers.”

Just what it says.

“Nearly a year after the fed­eral res­cue of the nation’s biggest banks, tax­pay­ers have begun see­ing prof­its from the hun­dreds of bil­lions of dol­lars in aid that many crit­ics thought might never be seen again. The prof­its, col­lected from eight of the biggest banks that have fully repaid their oblig­a­tions to the gov­ern­ment, come to about $4 bil­lion, or the equiv­a­lent of about 15 per­cent annu­ally, accord­ing to cal­cu­la­tions com­piled for The New York Times.” Cool.

“And he’s all, “I guess you saw that ‘Dear Gru­ber: You’ve Been Pwned’ thing I wrote last week over at Fake Steve. Haven’t seen a link to it from Dar­ing Fire­ball, so just check­ing to make sure you’re cool with that.”” I laughed.

“The TV indus­try has as lit­tle as two years to cre­ate viable dig­i­tal busi­nesses or face a ver­sion of the “iTunes moment” that saw the music busi­ness cede the online future to Apple, accord­ing to Ash­ley High­field.” Less than that I bet and Hulu seems to be a pretty good plan. Also the prob­lem is lightly dif­fer­ent tv isn’t as widely pirated.

“If Google dig­i­tizes the world’s books, how will it keep track of what you read? For librar­i­ans, many of whom are work­ing with Google to dig­i­tize their col­lec­tions of books, it’s a thorny ques­tion. That’s because librar­i­ans and the online world have dif­fer­ent stan­dards for deal­ing with user infor­ma­tion. Many libraries rou­tinely delete bor­rower infor­ma­tion, and orga­ni­za­tions such as the Amer­i­can Library Asso­ci­a­tion have fought hard to pre­serve the pri­vacy of their patrons in the face of laws such as the U.S. Patriot Act.”
