I’ve been trying to track down the new E-Ink display covered Esquire magazine, which went on news stands today. Calling around to Barnes and Nobles around NYC, they seem to be all sold out - completely. Additionally, I was just told on the phone by an employee at the Union Square that earlier today some [...]

Found over on Current.com, an intense look at the Irtokte gun market in Mogadishu, Somolia, and how easy it is to buy an ak-47 Machine gun, or American m16.

The new fame: Internet celebrity
The Internet is setting a new standard for celebrity. Fame is no longer about getting “15 minutes,” it’s about becoming famous [...]
Could Last.fm be used by the music industry lawyers to find, track, and nail music piraters?
Here’s my thinking: a user downloads a pirated copy of a new, unreleased album from Bit Torrent, or any other file sharing site, puts it in their iTunes, and then starts listening. While they are listening, naturally, their Last.fm plugin [...]
Pushing forward on the viral, social, apparel front, CNN is now printing one-off headline T-shirts. Now, if you go to the homepage, you can click the little mini t-shirt icon next to a headline, and poof, get a black, white or grey T-shirt made with that headline, time-stamp, and CNN logo on it. Absolutely amazing.

Thanks to a link from Robert Scoble’s Scobleizer, I’m now fearing for my life. The New York Times just ran a piece on the blogger culture, where bloggers are paid by the post. They stress to the max to stay on top of the latest trends, churn out posts, and make their blog rise, or [...]
