Words Journalists Use That People Never Say →
Among my favorite cliches that people never use in natural conversation: Critics contend Strib: “Critics contend that young, developing businesses and smaller websites could be saddled with expensive litigation costs.” Journo Dad: “Critics contend that you kids don’t hop into the tub when you’re supposed to.”

Muck Rack: Journalists owe it to their readers not... →

There’s no question in my mind that piracy exists, that people around the world are enjoying creative content without paying for it, and even that some criminals are profiting by redistributing it.

CNNMoney Tech Tumblr: Enough with the giant... →
The iPhone takes a lot of flack from tech blogs for maintaining their smaller screen size, but I like the ability to use my phone using only one hand and being able to reach over 90% of the screen using only my thumb.  I think the UI designers at Apple already know these advantages though… via cnnmoneytech: All these huge new phones are giving me a bad case of “smartphone thumb.” The...
