POPSWill You Speak Up or "Give Obama a Chance"? We need to stay involve--I already don't like the appointment of an AIPAC pro-hardline-Israeli guy like Rahm Emanuel as Chief of Staff--not a good sign that Obama will be listening to Progressives with open mind when you CoS is a hack!

POPSThe "miracle" of securitization This quiet little piece is probably the sharpest analysis of what actually went wrong with our financial system that I've read. Here's a money quote: ``Securitization was based on the premise that a fool was born every minute,'' Joseph Stiglitz, a professor of economics at Columbia University in New York, told a congressional committee on Oct. 21. ``Globalization meant that there was a global landscape on which they could search for those fools -- and they found them everywhere.''

POPS"Will We Soon find Life in the Heavens?" 'let's hope there's intelligent life somewhere up in Space 'cos there's bugger all down here on earth" continues In the coming months, two new tools will greatly expand astrobiologists' capacity to hear and see other promising signs of life. Later this summer, the nonprofit SETI Institute, named with the acronym for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, will begin listening for alien broadcasts on the new $50 million Allen Telescope Array. A spread of 42 radio dishes in California's Cascade Mountains, the array is the first such facility built specifically to listen for E.T. "We're looking for life that's clever enough to hold up its side of the conversation," says Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute. The array, half funded by Microsoft mogul Paul Allen, will search for alien signals at a clip "hundreds to thousands times faster" than current SETI projects, says Shostak.

POPSMarkets Fall: Government Throws Away More Money
You don't have to be a lawyer to know if someone is lying -- But when a lawyer catches a witness in a lie it is often the beginning of the end. What caught my eye in this clip is: the government (USA) "will begin paying interest on the reserves that banks leave on deposit." Humm....we print the money...we give the money to the banks at super low interest rates...now the banks can give us back the money and charge us interest!? The next big part of the plan is to buy unsecured loans for threatened banks that may go out of business. Humm...Note: Other countries are buying assets or Number One Preferred Stock...meaning they get paid first if these banks fail. Also, rather than seeking to "inspire confidence," some suggest it would be better to dole out the cash for every new loan the banks make...which is what we want them to actually do. Other lies: "optional," warrents; & "mark to market," valuations. While our house burns, these alleged "firefighters," are steali

POPSThe Escapist 161 on indie games I've noticed that indie games are making a lot of signals on the blogs lately. I haven't found much time to play them, prolly cos' I'm reading during my free time. ;) The Escapist's issue this week on indies actually has a couple of articles from the perspective of people making indie games, it's got a fair bit of business insight. Some of the criticisms of the market's failure to provide free savannah for any and every roaming indie creation reminds me of the criticisms aimed at Scott McCloud's Reinventing Comics. The big businesses have a way of corralling user eyeballs to their own products, and despite the wilderness of the internet it's not a fair ecosystem.
