POPSBo Diddley: R.I.P. Sad to see this great music legend go. Glad that he was able to enjoy the fruits of his labor that finally came when he was well into his later years. Thanks, Bo...Rock n' Roll owes you a debt of gratitude for your gift.

POPSChina and India Agree to Closer Ties Whoa...the two fastest growing super economies moving closer together on the military front. Note to team Bush: better put a little more giddyup in the Pakistan stabilization plan...

POPSWhat CNET could have been Former CMO of CNET takes stock following the sale to CBS. Integration of a company with a very different culture is always difficult. In this case, he points to the acquisition of ZDNet as the catalyst that brought about the demise of CNET's innovative spirit and strategic compass.

POPSHe's eaten 23,000 Big Macs since 1972 Not quite sure which of these two facts is more alarming: the volume of Big Macs or the compulsive receipt collecting. I hope for his sake he's compulsive about taking Lipitor as well...Yikes.

POPS"But what if I fail?" I really like this illustration/comic I found on Andrew Chen's blog. It is so simply executed yet taps into an incredibly powerful idea that can limit ones success...

POPSPutin To Feature In Judo Video Interesting quote. Wonder if Putin thinks the U.S. perceived him (Russia) as being weak when he began his term. At any rate, its clear who would win a real wrestling match between he and W ;)

POPSWoz: "Jobs stole from me, but i admire him" I wonder how Woz would feel about SJ if he never made his bazillions. That said, his quote about Jobs' vision with regard to the iPod music platform just blows me away. Tough not to drink the Kool-aid that Jobs pours...

POPSFacebook to open-source platform This is an exciting time as the web 2.0 companies jostle not only with each other, but with the big three: Yahoo!, Google, and Microsoft. In what feels like a good old NASCAR race, the FB/MS team just fell into a drafting position behind the Open Socials...but its still early in the race.

POPSMIT develops camera-like fabric. But... Okay, pretty cool...but why is the "dream" of brilliant inventions like this always geared towards military use? How about a jacket that can help sight impaired people to navigate around obstacles better for starters? C'mon MIT, you're better than that.

POPSThe iPod of e-Readers? Hmm. Not sure about this one. Form factor not very inventive and I've heard Kindle's iPhone app is quite adequate for filling in the gaps when you have short chunks of time to read for a few minutes. I give them credit for going after a fast growing niche, but they've got their work cut out for them IMO.

POPSComScore Ranks Google No. 1 for First Time Good news for Google, but we have high expectations for big G. What i find intriguing is the fact that users spend more time with Yahoo!. These guys have been portrayed as that gang that couldn't shoot strait but damn, they must be doing something right. I still think the MS deal gets done to unlock the hidden value in Y!, especially now; they do not want Carl I. stirring the pot inside their kitchen...

POPSAmazing Miracle on the Hudson Animation This is what Mike Arrington of techcrunch had to say: "Computer animation of the entire flight path of US Airways 1549, overlayed with air traffic control audio. The whole thing takes only about 2 minutes. Really gives you a sense of how little time there was to react."
