Stealing MySpace: Julia Angwin @ Kepler Books

Stealing MySpace: Julia Angwin Kepler's Books - Menlo Park, CA MySpace is one of the most visited Internet destinations in America, displaying more than 40 billion webpage views per month and generating nearly $1 billion annually for Rupert Murdoch's online empire. Even by the standards of the Internet age, the MySpace saga is an astounding growth story.In Stealing MySpace, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for the Wall Street Journal, Julia Angwin, chronicles the rise of this Internet powerhouse. With an unerring eye, Angwin details how MySpace took the Internet by storm by grabbing the best ideas from around the Web, encouraging pinup stars such as Tila Tequila to make their home on its pages and giving everyone freedom to experiment with online identities -- including using somebody else's identity.Venturing beyond the business aspects of the story, Angwin also explores the Internet culture, a voyeuristic world, and she dishes on the epic real-world battle for control of a virtual empire.

Windows 7: Gadgets, Stickies, Calculator, and Screenshots

techxonline says,
"This video shows off several new features in the Windows 7 Beta.
Gadgets are very similar to the ones in Vista, except that the annoying Sidebar has been removed.
Sticky Notes are similar to the Stickies which have been in Mac for years. My main gripe with this application is that you need to have it open for the stickies to remain, wasting space in your task bar.
The calculator has gotten a makeover, and taken the extremely simple application into a somewhat useful application.
The "Snipping Tool" is the tool used to take screenshots. I have long been against the print-screen key, and this is a major improvement. However, I believe that Microsoft could further improve this by using intuitive keyboard shortcuts to select a window, window element (e.g. pane, start menu), select by cropping your desktop, or take a picture of your entire desktop."
