David Pogue on the Google Voice/Apple/AT&T Affair

post from Daring Fireball on 06 August 2009 10:14:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

Pogue simply nails it:

In short, what Apple and AT&T have accomplished with their heavy-handed, Soviet information-control style is not to bury these useful apps. Instead, Apple/AT&T have elevated them to martyr status — and, in effect, thrown down a worldwide challenge to programmers everywhere.

The Good Old Days of Swear Words on the iPhone

post from Daring Fireball on 06 August 2009 09:09:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

John Hughes Dies at 59

I don’t think you can overstate how influential his films were for my generation. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is, in my book, his masterpiece.

Reuters Gets It

post from Daring Fireball on 06 August 2009 07:53:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

Chris Aheam, president of media at Thomson Reuters:

I believe in the link economy. Please feel free to link to our stories ? it adds value to all producers of content. I believe you should play fair and encourage your readers to read-around to what others are producing if you use it and find it interesting.

I don?t believe you could or should charge others for simply linking to your content. Appropriate excerpting and referencing are not only acceptable, but encouraged. If someone wants to create a business on the back of others? original content, the parties should have a business relationship that benefits both.

Spot-on.
