A COMPANY that specialises in "ethics and workplace compliance training" sends me alarming news about a surge in workplace bullying. A study last year by the University of Phoenix claims that the recession has given "serial bullies" an excuse to mistreat employees, while many more normal managers have concluded that "bearing down on people" is the best way to do more with less. A 2007 study by Zog...
We've pointed out in the past that if you're "buying" ebooks on devices like the Kindle or the iPad, it's important to remember that you're not really "buying" the books, and you don't really own them . We're seeing that once again with a story on Consumerist about a woman who was locked out of the ebooks on her Kindle for a month :
This apparently has gone on for four weeks, involving approxi...
KARL CASE, he of the Case-Shiller home price index, has written an op-ed that seems calculated to reassure those thinking of buying a home. It closes: Housing is much of if not quite all of the business cycle. And so as someone who would like to see the American economy return to growth, I am hopeful (though not particularly optimistic) that housing markets will soon take a decisive turn for th...
The suit argues that the student wasn’t given adequate warning that attaching electrical clamps to his nipples could be dangerous. Earlier reportage on the case quoted students who accused the teacher of encouraging horseplay and making light of the dangers of mild shocks; the teacher later resigned but did not face criminal charges. [ Joey Cresta, Foster's Daily Democrat/Boston Herald (Dover, Ne...
THOSE of us who labour in the vineyards of journalism are so used to hearing bad news—another newspaper closed, another dozen colleagues sacked—that it comes as a shock to stumble across an optimist. Michael Mandel, a former economics editor of Business Week , argues that we are on the verge of a boom in "communications", including the media business. Up to a point, Lord Copper, up to a poin...
Az új, feltörekvő platformok a CMS alkalmazásoknál is változások indítottak el. Újra előtérbe kerül a centralizáció és a decentralizáció kérdés, bár sok esetben abban se lehetünk biztosak, hogy milyen értelemben beszélünk centralizációról. Technikai, szervezeti? Szervezeti értelemben fontosabb a kérdés, mint technikailag, a szervezeti átszervezés nagyobb költséggel és nagyobb profit csökkenéssel j...
What could go wrong with a Pakistani military delegation flying from D.C. to Tampa for a meeting with the U.S. Central Command? How about getting kicked off a flight after being mistaken for terrorists by a scared passenger?
Eight Pakistani military officers were in the U.S. for a meeting at Central Command in Tampa. But, unfamiliar with the American custom that dark-skinned people aren't allowe...
Sometimes the titles just write themselves. On Tuesday Virgin America and Loopt partnered to offer people two-for-one tickets to Cancun or Los Cabos from California. All you had to do was check in on Loopt at SFO, LAX or one of a variety of taco trucks in San Francisco and Los Angeles in a four hour window.
So how did it go? Loopt says 1,300 people checked in to a single taco truck in San Fran...

This day saw an acceleration of the Luftwaffe’s attempt at wiping out the RAF’s strength, particularly that of 11 Group, the airfields of which were under continuous attack.
Early that morning several groups of 30 plus air...

THIS borders on the too trivial to mention, but I've realised the Associated Press article about Vladimir Putin's crude language, which prompted a blog post from me on his penchant for earthiness, made a story out of his words only because it got them wrong. The piece criticises Mr Putin's "disparaging" attitude to political opposition. The snippet it cites is "What's good about the cont...
Whoa, this came out of left-field. Amazon just announced that its Video on demand service will be serving up $.99 ABC and Fox rentals just like Apple wait, no, these are $.99 per episode — like you actually own the content rather than just having a short window to watch. Plus, it’s not just limited to one platform as Amazon Video on demand is widely available a bunch of products. This could be h...

ALL right, now, no sniggering. You all remember the contretemps over the name of our blog . Well, Akbar Zeb, a distinguished Pakistani diplomat, has apparently lost the chance to serve as his country's ambassador to Saudi Arabia because of his name: in Arabic, zeb (or zub in the variant I learned) is a crude word for the male organ, and akbar means "the biggest". Sometimes the dick, sorr...

Carr leginkább azt írta meg, hogy ő miért nem hagyta ott a kiadóját. Indulatos, lendületes, érdekes - és egy csomó minden vitatható benne.
