Wall Street Journal 2.0 or Can Newspapers Survive the Web?
You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows and you sure don’t have to count circulation figures and ad pages to know that internet has been a disasterous paradigm buster for newspapers in particular and print journalism in general.

What’s Apple Up To Now?
Speculation about Apple’s highly-hyped “It’s Showtime” marketing event tomorrow is running about as feverish as a third-grade classroom during a chicken pox epidemic.
