  1. The importance of hyping stealth marketing. on Dr. Pepper Tries New Astroturf Method · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nothing is cuter than an MBA putting together a "viral" marketing plan, and then holding a press conference about it. A. Spokesman has seen this before. http://www.corporatebabble.com/comics.jsp?catid=19 &contid=51

  2. Cool by algorithm? No, just common. on Web Log 'Word Bursts' Could Identify New Crazes · · Score: 1

    Cool doesn't necessarily have to be unknown, but how could it be determined by an algorithmic formula? Common does not mean cool.

  3. Re:$127,000 on Dave Barry Answers Alert Slashdot Readers' Questions · · Score: 1

    According to his fee scale, an extra digit slipped in.

  4. The News is... on Apple Accuses Worker of Leaks · · Score: 1

    The news is "Employer sues employee." Getting mad is not news, but filing a suit certainly is. Most skirmishes don't make the papers until some formal action serves as a triggering event. That's why settlements are so popular, and usually unpublicized.

  5. Re:Science is open to everyone on Who Owns Science? · · Score: 1

    Right, but one of the nice consequences is that the traditional news media will have faster, better access to journal writings, and science writers at newspapers will be able to churn more good stuff to the surface. See the Babbler's Daily Briefing at www.corporatebabble.com The overall effect will be an acceleration of the scientific process... and its digestation by the mainstream world.
