Noites com Lua, Vénus e Júpiter
Halloween Sky Show: On Oct. 31st, the crescent Moon will sneak up on Venus for a close encounter of startling beauty. [...]
On Nov. 1st, Venus and the Moon emerge from the twilight side-by-side, Venus on the right, the Moon on the left [...]
The show continues on Nov. 2nd with Venus, the still-slender crescent Moon, and Jupiter arrayed in a broad line across the southwestern sky [...]
Nightfall on Nov. 3rd reveals the Moon transported to Jupiter [...]
As hard as it may be to believe, these nights of dark beauty are just a hint of things to come. The real show begins one month after Halloween when Venus, the Moon, and Jupiter converge on a tiny patch of sky no bigger than the end of your thumb held at arm's length: sky map. Dec. 1st is the best night to look, even better than Halloween.

O difícil jogo entre políticos e jornalistas
Journalists cry foul as politicians put the boot in: Half-time brought no respite in the ill feeling between the two sides and early in the second half the referee brought hostilities to an abrupt end.
His decision, which came after 55 minutes, with the score 6-2 for the politicians, was sparked after a Glasgow Labour councillor reportedly ran the length of the field and brought down a journalist. This triggered a general melee with some reports of punches being thrown by players on both sides.
Afterwards, according to sources, one politician who went into the opposition dressing to try to say “no hard feelings” was shown the door. A post-match lunch for the two sides turned into a rather one-sided affair when only one journalist turned up.

Wassup?
Who's behind the "Wassup 2008" Obama ad? Not Budweiser. The man with the answers? Charles Stone III, the director of the original “Wassup” commercial and the movie Drumline (and the guy who answers the phone in the first frame of the video). He decided to make it about two weeks ago, he told me, with a crew of about 50 volunteers (all professionals working pro bono). They put it together in 9 days.
It was all possible, Stone says, because Budweiser never owned the rights to the idea. He’d originally made it as a short film independent of the brand, and Budweiser had only leased the rights, paying a mere $37,000 for five years of use. Back then, people gave him a hard time about the low price. Now Stone, a diehard Obama supporter, says it’s more than paid off. “That I’m able to use an idea distributed by a huge company, who made a lot of money off it, so that now when I put out what I want to say, it’s recognizable, and it sparks -- that’s worth $1 million to me.”

Rogério Santos sobre esta entrevista a Chris "Cauda Longa" Anderson (e, já que estamos nos gurus, "Fechem os jornais")
[act.: Revenue Crisis: Here Come The Pro Accounts: Sorry Chris, but free is out again.
Thank economy-wary investors like Sequoia Capital, which terrified its portfolio of startups with a "RIP Good Times" earlier this month. Startups "need to become cash flow positive," Sequoia declared. They must recognize the "need for profitability." "Cash is king."
Sequoia isn't the only VC firm preaching the precepts of profit, so startups are starting to return to a business concept many thought had faded into the past -- asking customers to pay for things. Namely: Pro accounts, plus accounts, premium features, enterprise editions, and white label versions.]

User Privacy Settings By Geography: A Flickr Study: Red spots note users who have photo sharing turned off (private), green shows users who have photo sharing turned on (public).
The results are fascinating. The US is widely public except for users who seem to be hovering around Utah, and varies by state. Europe, by contrast, is largely private, and more so as you move north. The Middle East is wide open. South East Asia is mixed. India is private.

O problema das falsas confissões
The case for videotaping interrogations: Of the 220 wrongful convictions in the U.S. that have been overturned based on DNA evidence, nearly 25% involved a false confession or false incriminating statements, according to the Innocence Project. In each of those cases, DNA proved that the confession was false.
Threats and coercion sometimes lead innocent people to confess, but even the calmest, most standardized interrogations can lead to a false confession or admission. Those who are mentally ill or mentally disabled may be particularly vulnerable, but anyone can be dazed when confronted by police officers who claim to hold unshakable evidence of one's guilt. Some confess to crimes because they want to please authority figures or to protect another person. Some actually come to believe they are guilty, or confess to do penance for some unrelated bad behavior. Innocent people come to believe that they will receive a harsher sentence -- even the death penalty -- if they don't confess.

Ironia à francesa: na luta contra a pirataria, quem ganha são os ISPs?
Répression des internautes ou rémunération des artistes? Contre l’avis du Parlement européen, qui à voté le 24 septembre 2008 à 88% en faveur d’un amendement réaffirmant qu’aucune restriction à la liberté d’information et d’expression ne pouvait être imposée sans décision préalable des autorités judiciaires, la ministre de la culture Christine Albanel a exposé, ce mardi 21 octobre, devant la commission des affaires culturelles du Sénat, les principes de la loi Création et Internet. Ce projet de loi sera présenté le mercredi 29 octobre en urgence au Sénat, et prévoit d’instaurer la «riposte graduée», processus par lequel une autorité administrative, la Haute Autorité pour la diffusion des œuvres et la protection des droits sur Internet (Hadopi), pourra couper jusqu’à 1 000 accès Internet par jour, sur requête des ayants droit de l’industrie culturelle. Un projet jugé «monstrueux» par l’association de défense des consommateurs UFC - Que choisir, qui s’étonne que la France légifère seule, en parallèle et à l’encontre des décisions européennes [...]
Pour les usagers d’Internet soupçonnés de n’avoir pas su empêcher que leur accès au Web serve à mettre à disposition une œuvre protégée par le droit d’auteur, l’Hadopi appliquera des sanctions allant de l’avertissement écrit à la suspension de la connexion, pour une durée variable d’un mois à un an, cependant que le titulaire de la ligne incriminée continuera de payer l’abonnement à son fournisseur d’accès.

Nothing short of a complete overhaul of the industry—fewer carriers, fewer flights, and far higher prices—will keep the world flying.

O absurdo
Economist Sorry for Comparing Bankers to Persecuted Jews: One of Germany's leading economists, Ifo research institute president Hans-Werner Sinn, has apologized for comparing the current criticism of banking managers in the financial crisis to the persecution of Jews in 1930s Germany. His comments had provoked a barrage of criticism. [...]
Ifo President Hans-Werner Sinn had told Berlin daily Tagesspiegel in an interview published on Monday: "In every crisis, people look for someone to blame, for scapegoats. During the global economic crisis of 1929 as well, no one wanted to believe in an anonymous systemic failure. Then it hit Jews in Germany, today it is managers." [...]
On Monday Sinn responded to the criticism by writing an open letter to the president of the Central Council of Jews, Charlotte Knobloch, apologizing for his remark.
"I in no way intended to compare the fate of the Jews after 1933 with the current situation of managers. Such a comparison would be absurd," Sinn wrote.

Enterrados em dados e números corrigidos
The First Disaster Of The Internet Age: To be clear, the Internet has done many important and useful things for the world financial system. Earnings calls are available to all comers, not just analysts; electronic trading has driven commissions to near zero; trading can happen wirelessly from anywhere at any time. Investors can track stock picks and stock pickers on Web-based scoreboards. These innovations were long overdue. But by accident, the Internet was also an enabler of the current credit crisis. It brought us together, but it also did the reverse, creating communities with narrow affinities. These are often echo chambers where people can find others like themselves—scrapbook makers or train-spotters or builders of exotic new products for the now $668 trillion (not a misprint) derivatives market.
At the same time, in making information free, the Internet has buried us in data, keeping most people from seeing the building credit storm. Rather than turning the world into a global village of empowered investors, the resulting data fog helped some Wall Street wiseguys hijack the global economy as easily as playing videogames—with instant messages and trillions of dollars in complex derivatives.
600,000,000,000,000? It's a number no one questions, but the size of the derivatives market is not as shocking as it looks: The total world market value of derivatives—the money these promises are actually worth today—is more in the neighborhood of $15 trillion. That is still huge, slightly larger than the U.S. economy.

Mainstream News Organizations Entering the Web’s Link Economy Will Shift the Balance of Power and Wealth: If news orgs like the NYT, Washington Post, and hundreds of newspaper sites start linking to news and other content around the web in a big way, on their front pages (as the NYT plans) and across their sites, it will have a HUGE impact on the web’s link economy. These news orgs may have been slow to realize how linking drives content distribution and allocates attention and advertising wealth. But now that they’ve figured it out, they can completely disrupt the balance of power.

E não se pode modificá-los?...
10 reasons why newspapers won't reinvent news
1. Newspapers' core audience still doesn't want change, but they're aging and they like a product that nobody else wants.
2. The culture of newspaper management is a dysfunctional relic of a low-bandwidth, monopoly era.
3. The culture of newsroom leadership contains a fatal 20th century flaw: A fundamental belief that equates all new trends with dangerous "fads."
4. No budget for research, development or training means most newspapers can't see what's coming, don't have the necessary tools for survival and couldn't use those new tools effectively anyway
5. Newspapers don't "own" enough creative technological expertise [...] to constitute a viable tech infrastructure.
6. Inertia, uncertainty and toxic paralysis rule most newspaper companies.
7. Individual ad-reps still make more money selling print ads than Web ads.
8. Newspapers have already lost one of their key selling points: Social currency.
9. The connection between quality and profitability has been broken irreparably.
10. Finally: Newspaper companies hate modern journalism.

Contra-acção industrial
Campaigner calls for end to unpaid work in the media: Last week a Canadian newspaper called for journalism students to do the work of its reporters in the event of industrial action.
Meanwhile in the UK, freelance campaigner Mark Watson entered the next phase in his campaign to end such practices, in particular employing journalists on an unpaid basis under the guise of work experience.
Watson, whose own background is in television work, last week submitted his proposals to the Low Pay Commission, which will release a report on working conditions in the media next year.
