Financial Reform Another Talking Point for Obama & Democrats
Jessica Rettig
President Obama signed another major piece of legislation, as Democrats in Congress declared victory in their financial reform fight. What started as a bipartisan initiative to end the risky, and ultimately damaging, Wall Street practices that led to the nation's Great Recession passed with little Republican support
Before the Wall Street Crisis, There Was 'Poverty, Inc.'
Caitlin Huey-Burns
For the most part, the narrative of the economic crisis has featured teetering banks from Wall Street to Main Street, a tide of bad mortgages, and countless distressed, middle-class homeowners.

Restraining the Profit Itch
Robert C. Koehler
The gap between the diffuse human yearning for a decent world and the organized agenda of the corporatocracy, has never, in my lifetime, been wider. What the BP Oil Spill has yet to reach are the headquarters of corporate power and the consciences ensconced therein. The arrogance of the great capitalists remains undamaged
America Has Two Sets of Rules
Arianna Huffington
The bracing reality that America has two sets of rules -- one for the corporate class and another for the middle class -- has never been more indisputable. The middle class, by and large, plays by the rules, then watches as its jobs disappear -- and the Senate takes a break instead of extending unemployment benefits. The corporate class games the system

Apple TV's Meager Offerings Are Due to Business, Not Tech
This week’s big Apple announcement featured one big disappointment: Apple TV’s relative lack of, well, TV. Out of all of the hundreds of channels available on cable and satellite, only ABC and Fox agreed to offer their programs for rent on Apple TV. The fact that Steve Jobs is the largest single shareholder in, and on the board of, Disney — owner of ABC — perfectly illustrates this digital divide.
How Apple Just Disrupted the Cable Guys
People in Silicon Valley have focused on the set-top box as the lever to attack the cable industry. Cable boxes blow, but that's a losing battle. So why is Apple TV different?

Screw Viral Videos. You Heard Me. Pass It On
Online video creators, advertisers and producers have an unhealthy fascination with viral videos, and that obsession is dragging down the entire industry. Why? Because viral videos are, at their core, no better than a fluffernutter white-bread sandwich, delivering little or no value to anyone.
Google Saves E-Mail With 'Priority' Message Filtering

The Oxford English Dictionary Definitions of 'Print' and 'Digital'
