POPSWas Zappos forced to sell by venture capitalisists? A big hesitancy i've always had about raising venture capital money is that i would lose control of decision making for Amplify and Clipmarks - in regards to things related to user experience as well as if/when to raise money and/or sell the company. That said, additional resources sure would help. At this point i think we've raised about $136M less than Ning :)

POPSWall Street celebrates bonuses, schools beg for supplies We see stories like “Recession Pinches Back-to-School Budgets” http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/03/eveningnews/main5361456.shtml and “School budgets dip, class sizes grow” http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32156424/ns/us_news-education/ along with reports of Wall Street reaping fat bonuses after being bailed out with taxpayer dollars. Sure, the bailouts were necessary to keep the economy afloat. Or so we are led to believe. And while the wisdom of a Wall Street bailout is being debated there is no debate about whether or not our schools need more money. Should public schools needs be ranked second to Wall Street because schools don’t turn a profit? Actually, if your head is on straight, you can clearly see how schools do turn a profit, but you need to value education above making money in order to see it. If you do, here’s an online charity that connects you to classrooms in need: http://www.donorschoose.org/

POPSThe Graying of Abortionists "Of course Salon.com says this is because of anti-abortion "terrorism" like the murder of Dr. Tiller last week. But I'm pretty sure this drop off didn't start last Sunday. And what this actually shows is that societal pressures are working. So that's the good news. The bad news is that abortion is a multi-million dollar industry and as long as they're paying, some shell of a human with an online medical degree will step up and agree to rip babies limb from limb for money. And when these hacks hurt women with botched abortions Salon.com, I'm sure, will blame you. That's right. You for stigmatizing abortion and making it so difficult to fill those spots. "

POPSShortened URLs are convenient – and trackable More: For all the convenience of short URLs, some Internet security experts worry that they could be used to camouflage spam and phishing attacks and redirect people to malicious Web sites. “People have no way to know where they’re going,” said Patrik Runald, chief security advisor at F-Secure Security Labs, a maker of security software. “These services are great and they serve a purpose, but at the same time, there is a darker side.” And if a shortening site shuts down, any links funneled through it would be lost forever, Mr. Runald said.

POPSNo cash? Barter for services with "dibits"
In the First Great Depression, the use of local community currencies ("script") exploded across the United States. Roosevelt sent a senior member of his Cabinet (I think it was John Foster Dulles, the Secretary of the Interior) to tour the country to find out what was going on. After a few months research, the Secetrary returned to report that the local "script" currencies were thriving and were starting to turn things around. But then he told the President that if the Federal Government lost control of the money system, it would lose control of the country. Local currencies were then outlawed and the New Deal, according to which the Federal Government borrowed and dispersed all monies, was hatched. Obama is trying the same trick in his new New Deal. If it does not succeed -- and our findings indicated that success is unlikely -- then he might be open to letting people create and trade in their own local bartar currencies, as well as give each other interest-free credits.

POPSObama is Regressive on Marijuana Laws What a pity. Obama is not for decriminalizing possession of marijuana. But I'm not surprised. With having already to contend with being called a socialist literally every day, rolling back the marijuana laws would be portrayed as very radical. Still, criminalizing marijuana possession, incarcerating people for it, is insanity and it's unjust. I couldn't live with myself if I were in his position and not speak out against them.

POPSWhy Obama Chose Al Arabiya We sure hope so, Mr. Rubin. Not only is Alhurra a waste of money for all the reasons listed above, but no one watches it because everyone knows it just a US-funded BS propaganda channel. Meanwhile, making good on my headline, I give you The Atlantic's Mar Ambinder : CBS News bureau chief Chris Isham reminded me that Al-Arabiya, among other networks in the region, is the pan-Arab voice of political and cultural reform. So it's an auspicious choice by whomever at the White House had the foresight to schedule this interview. It's progressive and people watch it.

POPSAtheists combat religion on buses "Religion is accustomed to getting a free ride - automatic tax breaks, unearned 'respect' and the right not to be 'offended', the right to brainwash children," Professor Dawkins said. "Even on the buses, nobody thinks twice when they see a religious slogan plastered across the side. This campaign to put alternative slogans on London buses will make people think - and thinking is anathema to religion." His outspoken comments are backed by BHA chief executive Hanne Stinson, who said the advert would be welcomed as a "breath of fresh air" by many. "If it raises a smile as well as making people think, so much the better."

POPSComputer visuses hit one million They say it is due to an increasingly professional digital criminal underground. Doesn't that just mean they're making increasing amounts of money? Looks like Vista is as infectious as Windows has ever been. I suppose it pays to become more well versed on the capability, and mechanisms of computer viruses, and watch out for them in addition to relying on antivirus programs. If my programs have found a virus trojan etc, I can't delete it until I've found out what I can about it. I don't remember having any real trouble since I started using firefox, but I'd be surprised if any could compete with some of the operator errors I've had to fix. It can be hard to fix something when the answer can be found on line, and the computer won't boot.
