Another example of 'High Broderism' made into a political party, like Bloomberg's try or the 'No Labels' party. When one party's response to a cut finger is to recommend to cut off the patient's hand and the other party's recommendation is to cut the patient's arm off at the shoulder, these 'centralists' would compromise and just cut the patient's arm off at the elbow instead of getting out the band-aide.

a G-1 Google phone, that it did not integrate with office mail systems. Consumer Reposts had that as a minus, and for many smartphone users it could be. But why would I wish to tie my personal phone to the office's systems?
Office issued cell-phones are called 'Ball-and-Chain' for a reason.
It is not like it is unheard of as in magazines and comics. But those are not books, simply... reading material. I have old pulp sci-fi paperbacks with adverts on the back cover, inside the front and back covers and inserts. I have seen this with old classics as well as other pulp genres. Some publishing houses even did this with hardbacks. I seem to remember some publishing lines doing this even more recently, although that fad seems to have been relegated to other reading material, like magazines and comics.
My issue with this is just how obtrusive will this be. Will we see ebook adverts that are un-skippable? Don't care which company pulls this, I'd rather vote with my pocket-book elsewhere.
Holding oneself to some standard usually invokes such words as Top, Best, or Gold. Trying to say "At least they were better than X (for values of X like Iran, N. Korea, Nazis, Stalin, Spanish Inquisition,...) is a cop-out.
As for 'not poking the bear', you do realize that in some areas just breathing qualifies? For a US-centric example, consider 'Driving While Black/Latino'. Being a woman in Saudi Arabia (or Iran) certainly qualifies.
That is one part that puzzles me. This embedded ads patent does seems set to violate every rule of design, official and unofficial, for the UI.
I can see it if Microsoft came up with this. They'd be roasted up one side and down the other. (The attitude that MS would not get roasted is my primary point of contention with the parent.) The flames would be especially intense if they were to implement this, adding another layer of FUBAR to the OS.
Apple could get away with doing it. No one else could. Now if Apple wants to do it, Microsoft will be making double profit (1) switching users (2) royalties.
Fixed it for ya.
If Microsoft would do anything of this nature, they will get called on it. The only defenders that I can think of would be Ballmer and the rest of the MS marketing team.
Apple, OTOH, has the non-corporate defenders to get away with this. They could install this on every Mac, iPhone and iPod complete with 'you will brick your device if this is modded away' utilities, and Apple fans will still say combinations of "Jobs is brilliant!", "Apple needs this to compete." and "MS/LINUX Biter!"
If they win, the Chamber of Commerce gets a 'legal' stick that they can use to beat down environmentalists, climate scientists and anti-pollution protesters.

From Wikipedia,
It is the only indictment brought by the grand jury, and Fitzgerald has stated that he does not expect to be indicting anyone else, citing repeatedly Libby's obstruction of justice as a main impediment to finding out what happened in investigating the leak of Valerie Wilson's classified, covert CIA identity.
The only black eye in the face of justice that I can discover is Libby's sentence being commuted. Amazing how that works out to the benefit of the V.P. and the WH, does it not?
But this much is certain: On Saturday, as protesters packed the streets and the presidential palace changed hands for the second time in two days, Venezuelan TV viewers were left in the dark. Instead of news, most got cartoons, reruns and Pretty Woman.
The next day, with Chavez safely back in the palace, none of the country's main Sunday newspapers appeared.
"It was a media coup, a complete blackout," said journalism professor Antonio Almeida, who teaches at the Central University of Venezuela. "Instead of informing the public they covered up the facts."
The media's Saturday blackout contrasted sharply with the blanket coverage of events Thursday leading up to the coup. That included dramatic footage of the repression of a massive antigovernment march in which at least 15 people, including one photographer, were killed and hundreds injured. .... There was no denying an ugly climate of intimidation Saturday by Chavez supporters, as well as looting. On the other hand, there were no reports of journalists being hurt.
Ferreres, Venevision's president, denied the media delegation was pressured to censor its reporting. "We received no instructions either from the de facto government, nor any government," he said. "No one tells us what we can and cannot do."
Privately, however, Venezuelan journalists from several media outlets say news desks stopped taking their stories. Citing concerns over job reprisals, they agreed to speak on condition that their names not be used.
All this [media stakes in ousting Chavez] helps explain why, in the days leading up to the April coup, Venevisión, RCTV, Globovisión and Televen replaced regular programming with relentless anti-Chávez speeches, interrupted only for commercials calling on viewers to take to the streets: "Not one step backward. Out! Leave now!" The ads were sponsored by the oil industry, but the stations carried them free, as "public service announcements." ... Izarra says he received clear instructions: "No information on Chávez, his followers, his ministers, and all others that could in any way be related to him." He watched with horror as his bosses actively suppressed breaking news. Izarra says that on the day of the coup, RCTV had a report from a US affiliate that Chávez had not resigned but had been kidnapped and jailed. It didn't make the news. Mexico, Argentina and France condemned the coup and refused to recognize the new government. RCTV knew but didn't tell.

Not certain how big a deal this is. Even MS Office 2013 is not fully compatible with Office 2003-2007 format documents.
from Krugman's blog, 5- 7- and 10-year bonds have negative yields. Investors are paying the government to buy these things instead of going into stocks.

This ruling also limits the Commerce Clause.
"This is the Roberts Court. And here, we’ve got a pro-business Court that interprets laws as constitutional when it can. Roberts found a way to keep this law in-bounds — without abandoning his conservative principles on the expansion of federal power. The conservatives “disappointed” with Roberts today are being silly and can’t see the long game here. The Commerce Clause has been limited AND the Court looks non-partisan. Beat that with a stick."
