What Would Google Do? [Audiobook]
Publisher: HarperAudio | ISBN: 0061726338 | 2009 | MP3 128kbps | 747MB
This scattered collection of rambling rants lauding Google's abilities to harness the power of the Internet Age generally misses the mark. Blog impresario Jarvis uses the company's success to trace aspects of the new customer-driven, user-generated, niche-market-oriented, customized and collaborative world. While his insights are stimulating, Jarvis's tone is acerbic and condescending; equally off-putting is his pervasive name-dropping. The book picks up in a section on media, where the author finally launches a fascinating discussion of how businesses—especially media and entertainment industries—can continue to evolve and profit by using Google's strategies. Unfortunately, Jarvis may have lost the reader by that point as his attempt to cover too many topics reads more like a series of frenzied blog posts than a manifesto for the Internet age. (Jan.)

Jeff Jarvis
Jarvis, columnist and blogger about media, presents his ideas for surviving and prospering in the Internet age, with its new set of rules for emerging technologies as well as industries such as retail, manufacturing, and service. We learn that customers are now in charge, people anywhere can find each other and join forces to support a company’s efforts or oppose them, life and business are more public, conversation has replaced marketing, and openness is the key to success. Jarvis’ other laws include being a platform (help users create products, businesses, communities, and networks of their own); hand over control to anyone; middlemen are doomed; and your worst customer is your best friend, and your best customer is your partner.

VA - Johnny Boy Would Love This...A Tribute To John Martyn (2011)
2 CDs | Release: 2011 | Label: Hole in the Rain Music Ltd | MP3 320 Kbps | 314 MB Genre: Folk, Indie, Pop, Rock, Singer-Songwriters
Expansive 30-song tribute album to the mind-bending British folkie who passed away in 2009…four decades of pioneering acoustic music that incorporated “Echoplexed” psychedelica and jazz touches made Martyn an iconic, cult figure among critics, fans and his peers …In the works for a few years, the project includes a number of notable participants including Beck, David Gray, Snow Patrol, Lisa Hannigan, Beth Orton, Robert Smith of the Cure, Phil Collins, Paolo Nutini …Martyn’s discography will, no doubt, continue to receive Deluxe treatments as unreleased material is unearthed, but Johnny Boy Would Love This brings him to a younger demographic of artists alongside more established performers like Beth Orton and Joe Bonamassa, all proving the enduring resonance of his work. Just as Island Records label mate Nick Drake has enjoyed considerable cult success decades after committing suicide in 1974, Martyn deserves similar consideration, and Johnny Boy Would Love This could well be the breakthrough that inspires others to look at his rich, varied and often heartbreaking body of work.

For generations, intelligent investors have built wealth by applying Benjamin Graham’s classic value investing principles. The approach is as powerful as ever, but the arrival of a new global investment terrain–with its differing politico-economic systems, rising markets, and increasing collisions–is creating both historic challenges and opportunities for value investors. Now, Jeffrey Towson shows how to uncover unprecedented value opportunities in today’s colliding, chaotic, and wildly mispriced new global marketplace.
Sen. Patrick Leahy on Tuesday unveiled an overhaul to a 25-year-old digital privacy law that would require the government to obtain warrants before accesssing email and other cloud-based data.

Sony's public mea culpa and subsequent "welcome back" rewards plan: Too little, too late? That's the question we have to ask ourselves in the wake of last night's big press briefing by Sony Corp. executive deputy president Kazuo Hirai. Following a deep bow and an equally deep apology, Hirai announced plans for new PlayStation Network security measures—including restricting password changes to a verified email address or the same console the account is tied to—as well as new infrastructure on Sony's side: Firewalls, a switch to a new data center, and the creation of a Chief Security Officer position within Sony's executive hierarchy.
