Amazon Speculation
Based on nothing, save a gut feeling–if you look at all the p.r. this quarter–much of it happening before the earnings release… you have to think, they blew q2. Maybe even a big miss. My theory, foreign sales (half of … Continue reading
Last Day in China
Just gonna go hit The Bund and Nanjing Lo today. Be back late tomorrow. Well, OK, tomorrow evening./International Dateline.
Aha! Itunes Transporter Updated
This… might just do the trick. When I get back… Hi again from Lijiang, off to leap after tigers.
Know that Feeling You Get
When you’re in a Chinese city, and there’s no wifi, so you’re forced to update from a PC in the business center–but the business center’s like I.E. only, and it also has some kind of weird “download controller” thing that’s … Continue reading

Since I’m sure Everyone Cares
You can SSH through the Great Firewall of China. So, just missing one little email password, but otherwise I’m good to go.You people will just have to wait for twitter updates, though.
Disagreeing With $149 as a Magic Number
Reading about the Nook’s sorta impressive price-drop, there’s speculation that $149 is the magic price point. While I absolutely agree with Guy that Sony/Kobo/Irex–oops, sorry/Whatever-the-hell-Borders-is-selling are even toastier than before, I don’t think $149 is that magic number. As a … Continue reading
Callaghan Would Be The Rare One for This Year
Miss Callaghan is the book that Chase and his publisher both had to pay a fine for in 1942. Ignoring what the ruling mentions, I tend to think it was one little scene near the end of Part One that … Continue reading
