Of course, a mention in the NYT is also a nice thing for a musician.

Flickr Kills Yahoo! Photos - Poorly In My Opinion

Yeah, I'm sorry, but this is a piss-poor way to shut down a photo service. You're Yahoo. You should a) keep the photos themselves online at those URLs forever, and b) Offer a one-click import to Flickr option.

May 1 is now officially ‘Loyalty Day’ in the U.S.

Are they kidding? Is this an April 1 joke? Well, at least it makes a nice change from the other 364 Fear Days. update: I overreacted, this has been the name of May 1 in the U.S. since the red scare days of 1958. But it's still shocking.

Overheard

“Oh boy! Another great opportunity for personal growth!”

...who said it?

“I’m not bitter about what happened to me as a child, and my mother was instrumental in keeping me from being so. ... She taught me to be grateful for my life regardless of what that entailed, and that’s directly related to the image of Christ on the cross and the example of sacrifice that he gave us. What she taught me is that the deliverance God offers you from pain is not no pain—it’s that the pain is actually a gift. What’s the option? God doesn’t really give you another choice.”

...who said it?

After over a decade of user testing, it is clear that the way we search the web is similar to the way we would search our home for valuables as it was burning to the ground. Frantically.

...who said it?

“We must shift the focus of companies back to the customer and away from shareholder value ... The shift necessitates a fundamental change in our prevailing theory of the firm… The current theory holds that the singular goal of the corporation should be shareholder value maximization. Instead, companies should place customers at the center of the firm and focus on delighting them, while earning an acceptable return for shareholders.”

...who said it?

“We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.”

...who said it?
