The Economist on the decline of the MBA - http://www.economist.com/theworl...

"Some good things will follow from this. There will be fewer smart Alecs who think they know it all pouring into companies. There has been a bear market in management bullshit since the credit crunch began, but so far this has been on the demand side—managers have been too intent on staying in work to talk much jargon. In 2010 the decline of the MBA will cut off the supply of bullshit at source. Pretentious ideas about business will be in retreat."

FCC admits CableCARD a failure, vows to try something else - http://arstechnica.com/tech-po...
Davis Freeberg, Mark Layton, Louis Gray and 3 other people liked this
CableCard is a failure mainly because the cable industry has done everything in their power to block it. The only people I know who use cable cards are Tivo owners like myself and people who have it built into their TV sets. If every HD set had a cable card slow, then people would jump on that sucker. Of course, another problem with CableCard is that they charge you $50 or so to install it, when it's literally as easy as plugging in the card and reading the resulting number back to the cable company.
- Otto
I went and picked up the cable cards I'm using for Comcast at their Richmond District office in SF. The painful part was trying to explain how to activate them to customer service since they weren't very experienced.

This is a good essay, but I feel compelled to point out the other end of the spectrum: A neighborhood full of kids with no parental supervision or guidance just leads to the formation of street gangs.

- Joel Webber
Also worth reading: http://freerangekids.wordpress.com/
- Joel Webber
Joel: In the suburban neighborhood where I live, the only kids I see "exploring" are those who seem to have no parental guidance whatsoever.
- Gabe
Gabe: I'm sure that problem exists as well, though perhaps Erica's assessment might go partway towards explaining it. When I was growing up in suburban Atlanta, I'm sure I and my friends looked as though we were running amok, but we had plenty of parental guidance. These things are, as always, more complex than they seem on the surface, but do I see plenty of evidence of "helicopter parents" robbing their children of the ability to, well, be kids.
- Joel Webber
When I was growing up, I basically did whatever I wanted, as long as I was home by dark -- and I was taught to walk on the sidewalk. When driving around my neighborhood at night, it's not uncommon to come across groups of kids strolling down the middle of the street. I tend to think the these are more like feral kids and free-range kids.
- Gabe
Wow.

Yeah, feral sounds like an apt description in that case.

Toby has had an amazing year. But I don't think he stands much chance at the Heisman. He is finishing strong, whereas Cal's Best has done the opposite, but he is not a national name and Stanford may not win the conference, let alone be in the national title hunt.

Louis, really? He's been a key component (along with Luck this year and of course, Harbaugh) in one of the biggest turnarounds of an NCAA football team I can recall and he produces yards like nobody's business (got a school high record 2 weeks ago). National name or not, a player that has done that much for a team should definitely be considered seriously.

While they're at it, I wish Google would look at pushing LZMA over DEFLATE for compression. It offers significant savings and speedy decompression. I believe Yahoo added a JS API for using it in BrowserPlus, but I really wish there was an Accept-Encoding: lzma, gzip that would allow servers to send back LZMA encoded data. Google could also incorporate it into SPDY for header compression.

- Pistos
Orion it is.
- Adi
Feeling all zen with Grasslands
- Mike Bracco
Oh no. Sorry, as much as I like Grasslands, I can't apportion 25% of my CPU cycles to moving clouds. *goes back to classic*
- Pistos
Excellent !
- Wang Yip
Orion FTW!

I like the Orion theme!
- TheHenry
Well, I've now been converted to Steampunk. AJ's script was blocking the new text background.
- CAJ, somewhere else
Orion and Steampunk...nice! Can I haz a CyberPunk?
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
I like Grasslands. Very cheerful. Good to brighten the mood when you stroll over to FriendFeed
- Nathan Chase
Cool new themes! Curtis, you're using an old version.
- AJ Batac
AJ, I'm using the one with Themes support I just downloaded today.
- CAJ, somewhere else
Using Steampunk for now.

Grasslands is pretty cool looking, but when I comment on a post, the comment field is hidden in the grass. :D
- Josh Haley
Nice job! These are some pretty spiffy themes. I would have commented earlier, but I was busy shooting ducks. I switched from Helvetica to Steampunk for now. I still want my old school monochrome monitor black screen and green text theme :P
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
"old school monochrome monitor black screen and green text theme"? oh hellzyeah! can we also get an amber monochrome version?? they can be called "Hercules Green" and "Hercules Amber"! :D
- Joe Silence is not Santa
oooooo...I like that...Hercules Green and Hercules Amber

Grasslands has sun and clouds in Opera, but not in Firefox.
- Peter
Peter I see the sun and the clouds even in Firefox
- Niki Costantini
Thank you, "Grasslands" theme is Great
- Nimaa
It seems that one firefox is not like another firefox. It doesn't really bother me, I still prefer 'fresh', or perhaps 'orion'.
- Peter
Love the new themes. But when can we upload our own image?
- Katy Barrilleaux
Extraordinary and eye candy.
- ashish
I like the Orion & Steampunk themes, but I keep going back to classic, largely due to its simplicity & lack of minor annoyances.
- Tanath
Steampunk & Grasslands are sweet. but in Grassland bottom grass effect must be under of writings
- Samir Kerimov
Ooo, nice. I'll try knot or grasslands for a while. Orion should be named "billions and billions." :-)
- Rick Cogley
Awesome!
- Garin Kilpatrick
they're perty
- sofarsoShawn
Loving Steampunk!

Cool, I like Orion and Duck Hunt is fun in a simple way... But I'm going to stick with Helvetica for now. Wouldn't mind a Blue variation of it.
- Grant Bierman
Just loaded the Orion theme. Nice!
- Rachel Luxemburg
Took a screencam of grasslands with Kol's puppy. http://ff.im/5kCWk
- Rick Cogley
Nice! But custom BG that can be uploaded by users would be awesome. Duck theme should be a widget that can be applied over any theme.
- Krishnamoorthy
Krishnamoorthy.K - http://duckmylife.com gives you a bookmarklet that lets you add duckhunt to any website.

Shiny. Trying Steampunk now :-D
- immaterial
Cordys Cloud application had the cloud+grass combination since about a year, and now this theme of FriendFeed makes my page look like my applications ;) mighty nice ;)
- Ashish Tiwari
Orion <3 :D
- Nia
Steampunk is very flavorful. It needs some rotating gears (the true reason for 3D CSS transforms)
- DGentry
Very nice. Wish I could toggle on/off the animation.
- Joel Lovato
+1 for being able to turn off animation. Better yet: Animation only when viewing the tab, turn it off when the tab goes out of focus.
- Pistos
I picked the "orion" theme thought it was fitting for me!
- orionstarr
Yeah! Orion!
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
I'd like,, I really would like to have a full black and green theme, like old vintage computer from the '80's, but with the power of new technology. SO, please, make me happy...
- Francesco OC
annnnd back to helvetica.....steampunk is too slow on my netbook. really really want vintage computer "hercules green" or amber theme guys! :)
- Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ
