New Email From Steve Jobs: 'Life Is Fragile'

New Email From Steve Jobs: 'Life Is Fragile': "James wrote to Steve:
Thank you, you're awesome.
I lost my girlfriend on April 23, 2008 from melanoma which spread rapidly to her liver, 48 hours after we found out it spread to her liver she sadly passed away....she was only 24 and I think about her every day. I am so grateful you took time out to do this. My girlfriend and I are from Cupertino, since childhood, and it's really nice to see the hometown hero take time out to do this.
Once again, thank you so much.
Sincerely,
James
A few hours later, Steve wrote back*:
Your most welcome, James. I'm sorry about your girlfriend. Life is fragile.

That is an incredible e-mail to Steve Jobs.

Khuzami is the shit - Goldman Sachs is the fan !

Things You Should Know About the GS Case: "Robert Khuzami is a bad ass, no-nonsense, thorough, award winning Prosecutor: This guy is the real deal — he buShould sted terrorist rings, broke up the mob, took down security frauds. He is now the director of SEC enforcement. He is fearless, and was awarded the Attorney General’s Exceptional Service Award (1996), for “extraordinary courage and voluntary risk of life in performing an act resulting in direct benefits to the Department of Justice or the nation.”

When you prosecute mass murderers who use guns and bombs and threaten your life, and you kick their asses anyway, you ain’t afraid of a group of billionaire bankers and their spreadsheets. He is the shit. My advice to anyone on Wall Street in his cross hairs: If you are indicted in a case by Khuzami, do yourself a big favor: Settle."

My allergy to prosecutors is perhaps unfortunate, but it's robust, and deep in my system... but this case really could benefit from the guy that sounds like the real deal.

Teri Garr - Master of the Silver Lining

Actress Terri Garr Battles Multiple Sclerosis Your America Reader's Digest: "A lifelong performer, Garr was used to fans' applause. But these days, there is a different reward that has nothing to do with Hollywood opening nights. It's ordinary people, some in wheelchairs, waiting to shake her hand. People saying that because of her, their symptoms will no longer get in the way of their dreams. Sometimes, Garr tells them about her mom. Sometimes, she mentions 'EGBOK.' Sometimes, she just squeezes a hand and says, 'Everything's going to be OK.'"

Gov. Jan Brewer Signs Controversial Arizona Immigration Bill: Decision Not 'Made Lightly'

How is it that you cannot understand the humanity of this situation.

National Day of Prayer: Franklin Graham Deserved to Be Booted

National Day of Prayer: Franklin Graham Deserved to Be Booted: "In 1999, Dobson's NDP Task Force said that every one of its volunteers 'must be a Christian' with a 'personal relationship with Christ."

"...With a tone of surprise -- or was it indignation? -- in her voice, [Fox morning host Gretchen] Carlson noted that the Pentagon was considering excommunicating Graham from the prayer event. She asked Graham if this signaled "an assault against Christianity, against prayer."

Carlson is deep-dish rightie wind-tunnel.

The Wall Street Crime Wave

William Black Warns That Financial Reform Bill Won't Stop The Wall Street Crime Wave: "'Once you understand the implications of massively fraudulent practices,' said James Galbraith, a progressive economist at the University of Texas, 'it changes the professional community that has the principal say about interpreting the crisis.'

Economists, he said, should move into the background -- and 'criminologists to the forefront.'"

Now there is an adequate perception.

"Criminologists ask 'fundamentally different types of questions' than the ones being asked.

'First we ask: Does this business activity, the way they're conducting it, make any sense for an honest firm? And we see many activities that make no sense for an honest firm.'

One example is the 'liar's loans.' With something like 90 percent of them turning out to be fraudulent, they are not profitable loans to make -- unless you're getting paid based on volume, and unless the idea is to sell them off to someone else."

Yeowee!

Mister Nobody

Duke Special and the books that rock - Times Online: "“I was reading The Book of Illusions, about a silent-movie star who led a very colourful life but disappeared at the zenith of his powers in the late 1920s. He leaves behind 12 films and the book describes one of the films in detail, about a man who is given this potion that makes him gradually disappear. I found it a really intriguing scenario. I was in a studio recording a different song, waiting for the engineer to fiddle around, and I started playing around with this concept. A song called Mr Nobody came out. ”" - Iggy Pop

Value-added Features in E-books

The iPad, the Kindle, and the future of books : The New Yorker: "David Rosenthal, the publisher of Simon & Schuster, says that his company is racing “to embed audio and video and other value-added features in e-books. It could be an author discussing his book, or a clip from a movie that touches on the book’s topic.” The other major publishers are working on similar projects, experimenting with music, video from news clips, and animation. Publishers hope that consumers will be willing to pay more for the added features. The iPad, Rosenthal says, “has opened up the possibility that we are no longer dealing with a static book. You have tremendous possibilities.”"

Four Forks

The iPad, the Kindle, and the future of books: "“Bookselling is an eight-inch pie that keeps getting more forks coming into it. For us, the first fork was the chains. The second fork was people reading less. The third fork was Amazon. Now it’s digital downloads.”"

The iPad Saves The Book's Ass

To Save Publishing One Must Kill The Kindle: "Publishing exists in a continual state of forecasting its own demise; at one major house, there is a running joke that the second book published on the Gutenberg press was about the death of the publishing business."

The Vanishing Publishing Paradigm

The iPad, the Kindle, and the future of books: The New Yorker: "Traditionally, publishers have sold books to stores, with the wholesale price for hardcovers set at fifty per cent of the cover price. Authors are paid royalties at a rate of about fifteen per cent of the cover price. On a twenty-six-dollar book, the publisher receives thirteen dollars, out of which it pays all the costs of making the book. The author gets $3.90 in royalties. Bookstores return about forty per cent of the hardcovers they buy; this accounts for $5.20 per book. Another $3 goes to overhead costs and the price of producing and shipping the book—leaving, in the best case, about a dollar of profit per book.

Though this situation is less than ideal, it has persisted, more or less unchanged, for decades."

Uh.. Senator can’t explain why he opposes financial reform

Wall Street-backed senator can’t explain why he opposes financial reform, asks reporter what’s wrong with it:
"When asked what areas he thought should be fixed, he replied: 'Well, what areas do you think should be fixed? I mean, you know, tell me. And then I'll get a team and go fix it.'

Even the Globe struggled to explain Brown's position: He appeared to oppose the creation of a consumer protection agency within the Federal Reserve. 'It’s more government, it’s more government regulation at a time when businesses are trying just to pay their bills,' he said. 'Is that good? . . . If it’s an area we need to fix, then I’m certainly open to it. But I haven’t heard that that’s the biggest thing that’s problematic with it.'

Liberal bloggers immediately jumped down Brown's throat, pointing out that he received a veritable truckload of cash from the financial services industry just before his election."
