"An anti-virus and internet security company is built on trust and trust alone. Once users lose faith in a company it cannot exist (see Arthur Anderson). Only time will tell whether or not Symantec committed corporate suicide today. The lesson that other companies can learn from this is (a) if you make a mistake, admit it immediately and provide current information to your users and (b) allow discussions to exist on your message board or else the negative PR will hurt you more than the comments from unhappy users."

"Pigeons may sometimes appear to randomly target city sculptures with their droppings, but according to a new Japanese study they also have the potential to become discerning art critics. Researchers at Tokyo's Keio University say they have found that the birds have "advanced perceptive abilities" and can distinguish between "good" and "bad" paintings, recognizing beauty the way humans do."
