• Vizio reboots the PC: a quiet American success story takes on sleeping giants | The Verge Vielversprechend. "Preloading stock Windows isn't a permanent advantage, of course, and Matt thinks Vizio is about to kick off a trend. “My guess is that you might see some people follow us when they realize how consumers really feel about a clean image,” he says. What he doesn't say is that it might be hard to match Vizio's pricing without taking sticker and crapware money — hard because Vizio has years of supply chain and operational experience building, distributing, and selling TVs at lower prices than its huge competitors."

• Geht sterben (10) « Stefan Niggemeier "»Spiegel Online«, »Zeit Online« und diverse räudige Blogs legen den Entwurf ihren Lesern per Link vor. Die »Süddeutsche Zeitung« teilt ihren Lesern mit, dass ihr der Entwurf vorliegt.

  Vermutlich ist der SZ-Leser mit dieser Information glücklich und stolz auf sein Blatt. Und falls wider Erwarten unter den Lesern von sueddeutsche.de der Ruf laut würde, auch das Original lesen zu können, könnte der Online-Chefredakteur vielleicht notfalls den Text ausdrucken, einscannen, vom Bildschirm abfotografieren und twittern, ähnlich wie neulich, »ausnahmsweise umsonst«."
