New Mantra: Do a little evil

What really pisses me off about the decision by Google to filter search results and blogs in exchange for access to the market in China is that it comes a mere week after their much publicized effort to fight a DOJ subpeona for search keywords and URL’s (and no, not any private data from users).

Trapped in the Wrong Government School

“Granted, Tapang broke the rules. The rules said her grandson, because of where he lived, wasn’t entitled to the quality education Fremont Union schools provide. But which is worse: a system that traps students in bad schools, or a grandmother who lies to save her grandson from being denied a decent education? I asked her, “Isn’t it creepy that they […]

Iran just happens to be a really good example right now of why it’s important (for any organization) to be able […]

Not again, sigh

CRM replacing traditional marketing

When I first read this paper about CRM (link via CRM Blog) I thought it was a square peg round hole kind of thing, the notion that CRM was replacing traditional marketing. However, in reading it again it became clear what Prof. Payne is talking about, summed up nicely in the intro:Thus the focus is […]

Congress wants a rating system

“he (Sen. Ted Stevens R-AK) put the adult entertainment industry on notice that if it didn’t come up with a rating system, Congress would do one for them.”I guess he wasn’t talking about a rating system of “Good”, “Better”, and “Best”.Link: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060124-6035.html
