Caught @chr1sa on Press:here discussing his book: "Free". Disappointed to find that there is no free ePub download :(
A note on Chris's blog at thelongtail.com reads: "FREE will be available in all digital forms--ebook, web book, and audiobook--for free shortly after the hardcover is published on July 7th (exact dates will be announced in the posts at left as each form is released). The ebook and web book will be free for a limited time and limited to certain geographic regions as determined by each national publisher; the unabridged audiobook will be available free forever, available in all regions." Sounds great, but I just heard about the book today.

Why aren't netflix PS3 streaming movies actually HD? I'd be willing to wait an hour or more for a full-sized mpeg to buffer if the quality were actually 720p or 1080p. They wouldn't be able to call it "Netflix Instant", but "Netflix Pretty Soon and Crystal Clear" would be just fine.

Newborns are like 5 node finite-state machines. The 5 states are simple and well-defined, but the transition paths between them are complex, mysterious and require much effort to divert away from the "frantic crying" state.

Blockbuster Culture's Next Rise or Fall: The Impact of Recommender Systems on Sales Diversity (PDF) http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3...
"Abstract: This paper examines the effect of recommender systems on the diversity of sales. Two anecdotal views exist about such effects. Some believe recommenders help consumers discover new products and thus increase sales diversity. Others believe recommenders only reinforce the popularity of already popular products. This paper seeks to reconcile these seemingly incompatible views. We explore the question in two ways. First, modeling recommender systems analytically allows us to explore their path dependent effects. Second, turning to simulation, we increase the realism of our results by combining choice models with actual implementations of recommender systems. We arrive at three main results. First, some well known recommenders can lead to a reduction in sales diversity. Because common recommenders (e.g., collaborative filters) recommend products based on sales and ratings, they cannot recommend products with limited historical data, even if they would be rated favorably.

I challenge anyone to find the most popular rented movies of last week on Blockbuster.com. You can list them all, but not the most popular!
