That escalated quickly. As Facebook’s stock continues to plummet, now half of where it started, the New York Times bluntly laid the blame for it on the company’s CFO, David Ebersman. Now everyone seems to have an opinion about the man who has seen much less of the spotlight. Andrew Ross Sorkin, the writer of the original article, said: Mr. Ebersman’s name, however, is mentioned only occasionally, usually in passing and typically only among Silicon Valley’s cognoscenti. And yet if there is one single individual more responsible than any other for the staggering mispricing of Facebook’s…

The New York Times Company tried. They failed. Now, media group IAC plans on taking a crack at making About.com a profitable company. The source for user-generated guides was hit hard by the Google Panda Update in February, 2011. The “low quality bulk content” algorithm change in the search giant sent About.com and sites like it plummeting in the search rankings, their primary playing arena and the source of the majority of their traffic. The ads served on pages found in search generated a lot of revenue, but Panda changed things for the company. According to Techcrunch: Alexa ranks About.com…
I don’t care if it’s untested. I don’t care if it appears unstable even when going slower than I can job. I don’t care that it’s bulky, ugly, and probably at least a little bit dangerous (even for a bike). None of this matters. Shut up and take my money. Please. According to News.com.au: It has already had manned flights of up to 15ft at 50km/h, weaving through trees, buildings and under bridges.

Their latest round of talks with various entertainment brokers would give their set top box the ability to integrate traditional cable feeds. It’s a matter of compromise. Apple has been trying for years to break into the television industry, even contemplating licensing content directly and competing with cable operators. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em… The walled-garden of the television industry has long been reluctant…
