Amber MacArthur invited me to be on Net at Night to discuss Twitter and the refrigerator I hooked up to a computer to tweet the temperature. It was an awesome experience and would like to thank Amber, Leo, and Dane. I will let you know when I finish my next electronic gadget that does something/anything on the internet.

From Slashdot:
A team of computer scientists from the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, CA are claiming to have found an “effectively perfect” method for blocking spam. The new system deciphers the templates a botnet is using to create spam and then teaches filters what to look for.

From Wired:
The automaker plans to invest $246 million in a factory that will start producing motors in 2013. GM says the move will ensure it keeps abreast of advancements in technology and delivers the highest quality at the lowest cost. With the Chevrolet Volt range-extended electric vehicle coming this year and its next-gen two-mode hybrid vehicles slated for 2013, GM says it must make batteries, motors and the related electronic systems “core technologies.”

From Om:
Floating ads are common on the fixed-line web, of course, and their expansion to mobile was surely inevitable. But given the tiny screen sizes of most mobile phones, they’re sure to be even more irritating than they are on the traditional Internet. Annoying ads can be effective, of course — there’s a reason why Netflix continues to use those horrible pop-ups — and Crisp touts the fact that users can simply close the ads, unlike most banners on the mobile web. But while Adhesion may be a much-needed tool for publishers looking to generate revenues as they bring their content to mobile (GigaOM Pro, sub. required), it will also give users yet another reason (GigaOM Pro, sub. required) to wait until they get to a PC to access the Internet.

From TechCrunch:
According to a recent NY Times article, in the 1952-53 season, more than 30% of American households watched NBC during prime time, according to Nielsen. In fact, up until twenty years ago, you could buy a 30-second spot on CBS, NBC or ABC and reach “everyone.” Today, NBC’s prime time reach is 5%. Sure, NBC is lagging CBS and ABC, but neither the Tiffany network nor Disney’s counterpart is faring much better. The secret’s out: fewer people watch TV and teenagers spend every waking minute connected to the Internet, increasingly through the mobile web.
