Dave Winer: "I don't think you guys are correctly parsing Eric Kidd's essay. ... Hey I'm 48 not 27 and I'm concerned too. I've been saying we're squeezed betw Microsoft and Open Source for years. It's the truth." [The Scobleizer Weblog]

Why I'm against anonymous blogs: "I wasn't saying that people shouldn't blog anonymously (or psydonymously), I'm just saying that I don't like anonymous blogs, and with a handful of exceptions, I don't read them." [The Aardvark Speaks]

Playing Blogshares -- Comment()
I have been playing at Blogshares a bit too much. Last time I played a computer game so much was about 15 years ago, right after I went back to studies after doing my 11 months of service in the Finnish army. Then I played a lot of different games, like Nethack, Minesweeper, a submarine strategy game, etc. Now I have 840 blogs in my portfolio at Blogshares, and my total worth is currently $60,505,020.17. I have to stop playing this game. Is there a group for addicted Blogshares players?

Putting down Internet Explorer on Mac -- Comment()
Daring Fireball writes: "Mac IE 5 shipped in 2000. It was both better than any other browser, and it was bundled with the Mac OS. With no competition, and no upgrades to sell, what motivation did Microsoft have to continue to move the product forward? None. And so today?s IE 5.2 is not much different than the IE 5.0 of three years ago. There have been a few nice little features added, but nothing major."

The freedom to tape? 'I wrote this piece for CIO Insight, arguing that companies ought to let customers spy on their customer service agents. But I wonder: When you get a recording while on hold that says, "Calls may be monitored to assure quality assurance," doesn't the passive voice already authorize you, the customer, to tape as well?' [Lessig Blog]
