- sobooks startet die closed-beta | Pia Ziefle | Autorin "Das ist spannend für Leser*innen, aber ganz besonders für Autor*innen. Die diskutieren nämlich ganz gern über ihre Texte, aber im Augenblick müssen sie sich kurz nach dem Veröffentlichungstermin eines Buches vervielfachen, um auf twitter / facebook / g+ / lovelybooks und all den Blogs am Ball bleiben zu können. Den Überblick zu behalten, mit wem in welchem Kanal welcher Diskussionsstand erreicht wurde, ist beinahe unmöglich. Aber nicht nur das. Kaum 24 Stunden später sind die schönen langen Stränge in den Netzwerken alle verschwunden, überholt von neuen Themen und Katzenbildern. Sobooks schafft eine so einfache wie neue Lösung: die Diskussion bleibt im Buch – und somit auch für neue Leser*innen zugänglich."
- The Copyright Monopoly Can Only Be Enforced With Mass Wiretapping, And Must Therefore Be Torpedoed "Today, noncommercial distribution of works under the copyright monopoly take place in our private communications, intermixed with our most private data that leave and arrive at our devices. You can’t tell one type of data from the other without looking at all of it, so the only way to discover copyright monopoly violations is by mass wiretapping and mass surveillance."

- Drei Mini-Tipps: Backup mit PhotoSync, Push mit Twitter und Verpixeln mit Skitch – iPhoneBlog.de "Der Workaround fiel mir erneut auf, weil Apples 5GB-Gratis-Account für Sicherheitskopien völlig unzureichend ausfällt. Das iCloud-Benutzerkonto sollte mindestens den verfügbaren Speicherplatz bieten, den die darauf registrierten Geräte aufweisen und beim Kauf neuer iPhones und iPads eigenständig mitwachsen." Yep.

- 5 fun and terrifying things about working for Jeff Bezos "He may know more about your job than you do. A former supply chain executive recalled the time that his team delivered a presentation, nine months in the making, to Bezos. “Bezos read the paper, said, ‘You’re all wrong,’ stood up, and started writing on the whiteboard.” According to the executive, “He had no background in control theory, no background in operating systems… [but] every stinking thing he put down was correct and true. It would be easier to stomach if we could prove he was wrong, but we couldn’t… He had this unbelievable ability to be incredibly intelligent about things he had nothing to do with, and he was totally ruthless about communicating it.”"

- Warum Paypal beim Crowdfunding Unsinn ist - WSJ.de "Paypal ließ den Risikomanager Tomer Barel schreiben, dass Crowdfunding auch zum Missbrauch verleiten könne und die Kunden davor geschützt werden sollten. Barel wies außerdem darauf hin, dass einige Wettbewerber Crowdfunding-Zahlungen gar nicht erst weiterleiteten. Um wen es sich dabei handelt, ließ er freilich offen. Dafür räumte Paypal ein, dass man jede Crowdfunding-Kampagne einer Risikoanalyse unterziet – für ein Unternehmen, das sich als reinen Zahlungsdienstleister versteht ein unüblicher Schritt."

Total dollars also increased modestly, though they are nowhere near the crazy sums invested in 2001."

It's very similar to the company's One tracker, but with a wristband so you don't have to clip it to your pants.

Pandora, which doesn’t have such deals, relies on rights granted by government entities, limiting service to the U.S., Australia and New Zealand."
