The Wall Street Journal: Niche Audience Vs. The Free Public World Lately, I've been reading a lot of news reports about Rupert Murdoch's intentions to lift the pay wall from The Wall Street Journal online and I've been wondering if this is a good idea. During the course of my research about the proposed plan, I even came across two Motley Fool's reporters who were battling out the pros and cons of the idea. Back on November 15, Rich Smith wrote: "Brand: Peop... |

Technology: Smarter Days It has been two weeks since I got my new smartphone, the Palm Centro. I won't bore you with an extended tech review -- I think it's a great gadget, but I dislike the Web browser -- but I can review how my daily life has changed since I got it. The Centro is not only my latest phone, it is the first smartphone I have owned. Since getting my phone, I am in greater touch with friends. Daily, I have ... |

Marketing: Lessons From Beer Mmmmm Beer. There's nothing like a cold sip to wash things down smoothly. When recently, in passing, I asked a group people about their views on beer, I was offered a spectrum of different views: it's a comfort factor, an every day drink, the beginning of (or perhaps the end to) a wild night out, a lazy Saturday afternoon in front of the TV, a frat boy's drink, and for some (like a loquacious grou... |

Media: Wikipedia, Plagiarism, And Procrastination Shortcut-seeking high school and college students are not alone. Someone else plagiarized a passage from Wikipedia. The lifted material didn't appear in a midterm essay, though. Instead, according to an article in yesterday's New York Times, nearly five paragraphs of an archived Wikipedia article about the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia showed up nearly word-for-word in the book “... |

Technology: Hacking The IPhone For Espionage No, it's not enough that you can hack your iPhone to operate on the T-Mobile network, or launch third-party applications, or play games. No, someone had to go and demonstrate how you can -- quite easily, with some know-how -- turn an iPhone, or any smartphone, into a full-blown spy gadget. Go warm up your missile-laden Aston Martin, and then watch security expert Rik Farrow show you how it's done:... |

Education: Dazed And Confused Over Metrics What determines a good school? Usually the quantitative data -- most frequently standardized test scores and graduation rates -- carry the most weight in answering that question. On the qualitative side, there's student and parent satisfaction and teacher morale, among other factors. The key, as in all professions, is determining metrics -- figuring out how all of these different factors should be... |

Entrepreneurship: Online Dating Gets More Vain? Online daters live and die by interpreting profile photographs. Sure, interests and hobbies are great, but when it comes to that crucial moment (to contact, or not to contact?) it's the photo that matters. Is it recent? Is it full-body? Is it even real? This week's Startup of the Week award goes to a site that's adding a new dimension to online matchmaking by actually allowing users to search for ... |

Starbucks Goes Red For The Holidays With the holiday season beginning, retailers everywhere are donning their cheer inducing gear, organizing sales, and encouraging people to engage in frenzied bouts of spending – the current recession aside of course. And there's nothing more holidayish than red. In keeping with the holiday spirit, or perhaps more aptly in the creation of it, Starbucks has unleashed its line of red cups for th... |

Technology: Revision3 And Blip.TV BFF! Web video companies Revision3 and blip.TV have formed a partnership to share content, with each website posting a portion of the other company's videos. As the Internet TV space continues to evolve it is inevitable that such partnerships will happen. As another Web video exec, Azureus CEO Gilles BianRosa, told me, "The market isn't really firmly established. It is easier to identify competitors wh... |

Sustainability: A Holiday For Your Trash Today is America Recycles Day. Yeah, I just found that out this morning, too. And surprise, surprise, Americans don't recycle enough. A recent Staples survey found that only 23 percent of respondents recycle their old electronics, while 41 percent either throw them in the trash or don't get rid of them at all. (What about the other 36 percent?) I definitely fall in that latter category and I blame... |

Gore announced an alliance between his firm, Generation Investment Management and the legendary Silicon Valley venture firm, Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers.

Marketing: The Manliest Soup On Earth I don't consider myself a particularly "manly" man, but when I watch the ads for Campbell's Chunky soup, I can't help but feel beguiled by the sweat-reeking, ass-kicking aura of machismo that (apparently) defines Campbell's Chunky. Of course, they're not serious about all this, right? Eating Chunky doesn't make you more of a man. Does it? Actually, it seems a lot of people think it might. Sinc... |

Tech Monday: First Look At The Google Mobile OS The Google Phone isn't really a Google Phone or GPhone after all. What it will be is an open-source operating system for mobile phones. The project is called Android and it's a a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications. From the Google info page about Android: The Open Handset Alliance, a group of more than 30 technology and mobile com... |

Technology: What's Cooking At Apple? When unfulfilled Apple rumors don't die, there's usually a good reason. Having moved on from the iPhone, the tech rumor mill is now churning up new whispers of a game-changing Apple product: an ultra-thin MacBook. Ultra-thin laptops are nothing new. So why should we care? Apple traditionally makes quick changes in its product lines; even seminal product re-designs happen inside of 18 months or... |
