It’s True, Anything Is Possible

1:50AM Matt Buchanan | On the list of things I believed I would never, ever read, Walt Mossberg, of the Walt Street Journal, saying this about Windows doesn’t fall very far behind a long op/ed by Glenn Beck describing Obama’s healthcare reform as “brilliant”. More »

Wall Street Journal iPhone And BlackBerry App Free Lunch Is Over

2:49AM Matt Buchanan | Well, this is a shame, if inevitable: The Wall Street Journal will soon start charging non-subscribers two US bucks a week to use its iPhone app, which is currently free (and better than the NYT app). Even subscribers will have to pony up an extra buck a week for the privilege. More »

Newspapers Are Slow With Their Immature Humour, Too

7:20AM John Herrman | I’ll give the WSJ a pass on their late Wii Motion Plus review, because it’s only been a week, and it’s pretty good. But a three-year-old, faux-unintentional “Wii” pun? Get with the program! (Disclaimer: I giggled, like a child.) [WSJ] More »

10:28AM Wilson Rothman | WSJ’s Nick Wingfield interviewed the headhunter who brought Tim Cook to Apple. Back in 1998, it was Jobs who had to convince Cook—a cyclist with a “cool, unflappable demeanor”—to leave Compaq. Good play, dude. [WSJ] More »

Get the Wall Street Journal Free on Your BlackBerry, Even If You Aren’t Gordon Gekko

4:40AM Matt Buchanan | I only read two sections of the WSJ, partly because it’s behind a pay wall, though there are ways around it. Their new Mobile Reader for BlackBerry drops the entire paper for free, constantly updated, right to your phone in an interface that actually works.

Predictable Yet Still Entertaining: John Dvorak Calls Out NYT and WSJ for Shilling Apple

4:04AM Brian Lam | Yes he does. Every Apple launch, at least one tech journalist goes meta and calls out other journalists for being Apple shills. Meanwhile, PC Mag gives the iPhone a 4/5 rating with Editor’s Choice, John likes Macs, and there’s an icon on his column for “More iPhone coverage”. Oh people, don’t you know he’s just getting you riled up to get attention and links?…I guess that worked. Man, the guy is a genius. [PC Mag]
