Jason Calacanis has a stunning link to Sam Zell, a newspaper owner who seems utterly clueless. There sure are lots of them... 

Engadget says that the Apple TV requires HD. Just like the iPhone, someone didn't think about the world outside the United States where HDTV is not nearly as available. Plus, it doesn't currently support anything other than Apple's standard media formats. Why not just let people plonk on any QuickTime plugins they want? Utterly retarded. 

Tom Croucher has pictures of the latest Ask.com adverts. They've had these silly things on the Tube. I really dislike technology adverts that don't talk about the damn product. This reminds me of the adverts that SanDisk put up a while back for their Sansa MP3 players - which made a big deal out of the fact that they aren't iPods. Yeah, we get it. You don't have as many users. Why exactly should I care? Perhaps if you told me about all the great features your product has I might use it. I presume that if you are advertising your product without explaining the advantages your site has over your competition, you don't have any advantages. I guess the Ask.com folks really are desperate.
