EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - This isn't New York. It is the Meadowlands Sports Complex, home to Giants Stadium, where Live Earth "New York" is taking place. Tens of thousands of sweaty, sunburnt yet energetic individuals surround me under a mostly clear sky with a temperature in the 90s. Overhead flies a small prop plane circling [...]

BOSTON - I'm about 30 minutes away from heading to New York City for Saturday's Live Earth concert. When I realized I'd be on the coast for the summer, I quickly snatched tickets up from TicketMonsterMaster on the upper level for about $100/pop after fees, taxes, etc. Because Amtrak is more expensive than flying, and flying [...]

Perhaps it's because I'm not in "the media know" but, to be perfectly honest, I don't get what all of the hype is about. Every time I open my e-mail, my media updates include at least one article on how Google is buying up minor companies, or tracking my shoe purchases, or entering some market [...]

"full access to YouTube"? SInce when did the iPhone have that? It does not have Flash installed in the browser and so cannot access, fully, the YouTube web site. Only specific videos, reencoded using Quicktime, are available. Speaking of Quicktime, I tried to watch [...]

Don't get me wrong: I'm absolutely thrilled that my two favorite tech companies are playing well together. [Apple + Google] But some of the features Google is offering up for the iPhone seem a little questionable to me. First, there's Google Maps. This is one of the features I think is absolute genius. I have the [...]

This news is a week old...I wanted to see if anything notable would happen. Then again, what else can be done to Dan Rather? For anyone who has not noticed the FIRESTORM of controversy surrounding his most recent media faux pas, here is the offending quotation: "The mistake was to try to bring the [...]

I haven't heard anyone offer the advice that you shouldn't participate in social networking sites. But show reasonable restraint, or an employer will think that you don't have good judgment. Posting pictures [...]

In reading articles/blogs last week, I noticed a lot of talk about Facebook in the professional world. Being completely embedded in undergraduate academia, this was news to me-but very, very cool. See, everything I hear about breaking into the "real world" is that you should delete Facebook/MySpace pages immediately or the contents therein will be [...]
