- Punditry: Will Microsoft buy flaws?

As a follow-up to that post, I pinged a few security research pros, asking whether they agreed its inevitable will start buying bugs. The responses: Dan...

Microsoft-bashing is all sorts of fun – it must be given the number of folks...

- Gillmor-speak gets redacted into minutiae-as-clarity, for once

So far it's looked remarkably like ongoing affronts to antitrust law on 3 continents. They are backstabbing partners with Zune, and dumping millions of subsidy money on...

- Journalism of all kinds and the process of growing
- Nicholas Lemann of The New Yorker has contributed a thoughtful piece to the debate over what a citizen journalism might look like, Amateur Hour: Journalism without journalists. My guess is that the blogosphere will take it badly, minimizing the argument as another "journalism vs. bloggers" rant. It's not....

- The uncouth vocal utterance of the people
- While it's obviously dangerous to read too much into a musical comedy skit, I like to think of Anna Russell's backwards to the Folksong as a searing indictment of the follies of punditry.
