A little over a month ago I commented on Paul Krugman’s blog — he wrote about the “fruits of globalization” (and that is something I have spent well over 3 decades discussing with my father).

My comment on his blog was not about the “fruits of globalization” per se — but rather about the fact that the PDF he mentioned cost less via Amazon.COM than via the publisher of the book itself.

I don’t know why my comment wasn’t printed — it probably tipped off some kind of spam-filter because I didn’t use PG-13 talk or something like that. But even my poor language or the censorship of reader comments by some pencil-pusher at the New York Times are not what this is about, either. So now you may be thinking (or even crying out loud):

Where’s the beef?!?

Oh — sorry about that, chief. Well, last week while I wasn’t looking, Mr. Krugman pulled a fast one — he wrote something that I know something about while I wasn’t watching! :O

Oh, well, too late now. It’s all over now, baby blue. This may be the last time — I don’t know. Give my regards to Esther Dyson — I think she’s onto something (probably because she was 10 years ahead of the market about 5 years ago; 20 years ahead of the market 10 years ago — maybe someday we’ll catch up with her).

I’d sure like to….

btw: look NYT — no links!

WOW

The Yahoo management must be off its rocker!

Thing 1 & Thing 2

Google & Yahoo are now “partners”? Well: “Howdy, partners”. If I ever want to see a “one-size fits-all” ppc ad, I’ll look you up, OK?

Other Things

In related news: there’s talk that clicks no longer matter — for more coverage, see e.g. Paid Content and/or the somewhat more colorful simeons.wordpress.com.
