This is such a great breakdown on this story. Not that I would expect any less from Gruber. Here is my take on what happened:

1. WSJ gets a tip from hospital.
2. WSJ confirms with multiple sources and records from hospital.
3. WSJ goes to Apple with story.
4. Apple makes deal for exclusive if WSJ does not source and times release to print per Apple’s direction.
5. Voila.

This is the only thing that makes sense to me.

“When you’re available, set your status to Available. When you’re busy or away from your computer, set your status to Away.”

I’m often surprised at how bad I am at remembering this. I bet you are too. Some good tips here.

“Indie folk and rock singer Sufjan Stevens has avid fans in many countries who are desperate to hear one of his latest songs.

But to do that, they have to get to Alec Duffy’s apartment in Brooklyn.”

Agree or not, it’s an interesting direction the song’s owner has chosen to take. (via Coudal)

Fascinating article with plenty of lessons we “Englishmen” can learn.

Words can’t explain the awesome.

This had a real effect on me and will change the way I approach a book for the rest of my life.

Thank you Steve.

Very good explanation as to why netbooks are not the future. (via DF)
