Grab it before it heads behind The New Yorker’s firewall, Anthony Lane’s marvellous overview of the history of 3-D, taking us right through to Avatar and Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (did you know that this film was shot in 2-D, and converted to 3-D during post-production? Cheater!), and speculating beyond.
It’s difficult to condense the [...]
Steve Job is considered one of the great showmen in the business (showpersons?), and the reputation is, I think, well-deserved. I’ve watched him live many times, and saw that the secret of his success on stage is no accidental talent. As one first hand, in-depth article points out, in U.K.’s The Guardian:
Steve starts his preparation [...]
While blogging the previous post on the decline in ad spending in the first half of 2009, I found a story that struck me as even more depressing.
The interesting aspect for the future of publishing is that “watching video on the Internet averaged 3 hours and 11 minutes among viewers 2 plus, while mobile viewing [...]
Like most of my friends and family, I was dimly aware of Susan Boyle last week from stories I was ignoring in various media.
Then while reading the Saturday New York Times I stumbled upon “Unlikely Singer Is YouTube Sensation,” and finally got a handle on what all the fuss was about. I watched the YouTube [...]
The Wall Street Journal has just reported that:
“The Securities and Exchange Commission has opened an inquiry into Apple Inc.’s disclosures about Chief Executive Steve Jobs’s health, a person familiar with the matter said.

I know you’re getting plenty of info and speculation on this topic all over the Web in the last 24 hours, but the topic remains extremely important to the future of publishing and I feel the need to continue to provide some pointers.
Today’s is from the Wall Street Journal (subscription probably required for this story).

I just received this alert from Mark Anderson, as part of my subscription to Strategic News Service.

To All SNS Members:
Steve jobs took a leave from Apple, announced this afternoon. In his email to employees, he said:
“Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, [...]
I was greatly inspired today to encounter this quotation from YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley at the MIPCOM Conference in Cannes, France on October 15th:
“There is no old media. There is no new media. There is one media with one common purpose; to inform, move and inspire the world through information, art and entertainment.”
MIPCOM is [...]
By now it’s widely-accepted that few if any publicly-traded companies are as inextricably linked to the fate and fortune of their commander-in-chief as is Apple Computer and its CEO Steve Jobs.
It’s almost a fairy-tale story: the early growth of the company, Steve’s adoption of and then ousting by that soft drink man followed by his [...]
I’m catching up on my old New Yorker magazines. I prefer the print version because the best articles are long, and, I think, far more enjoyable to read in print than on the Web (although The New Yorker has become increasingly generous in sharing most of its content on the Web). Today I read a [...]
