Dumbest TV Biz Mistakes →

It’s been an embarrassing decade for TV networks, as the Hollywood Reporter proves with its list of the aughties’ biggest industry mistakes: Hollywood writers’ strike: It was unnecessary and “mutually destructive”—and for viewers, “has there ever been a longer 14 weeks?” ABC’s rejection of CSI: The show has scored $6 billion for CBS and prompted spurned producer Jerry Bruckheimer to walk out...

Why Your New Year's Resolutions Will Fail →

The New Year’s ritual of resolving to lose weight, get organized, and give up smoking is not only pointless—78% of resolutions fail—but may actually do harm, psychologists say, as broken resolutions leave people feeling dispirited and powerless.

Tighter Security Means No More JetBlue TV →

The latest casualty of the TSA’s updated airline security regulations: JetBlue LiveTV programming, at least on flights that originate outside the US. The TV service—a “distinguishing feature” of the airline, as Vimeo founder Jakob Lodwick points out—has been disabled in the wake of Northwest Flight 253, and along with it the rest of the airline’s entertainment. At least one pilot (whom...

AT&T Halts iPhone Web Sales to NYC →

AT&T has stopped selling the iPhone online to customers in New York City. The first explanation, from an AT&T rep, is that the company’s New York network couldn’t handle any more data-hungry iPhones because the city doesn’t have enough towers. New York “is not ready for the iPhone,” the rep told the Consumerist. Then the story changed to a wave of fraudulent...

Dear Professor,

This year I will be submitting my 7-page paper on “How Should An Ethical Leader Act” through the popular micro-blogging site Twitter. Due to its convenience and enhanced form of instantaneous communication, I believe Twitter will be an innovative way for you to grade papers 140 characters at a time. Thanks in advance, knew you’d understand. Sincerely, Keith #keithspaper

Least Happy State: New York →

New Yorkers are the least happy Americans, according to a new study. Researchers compared residents’ self-reported happiness with “objective” measures of wellbeing, like sunshine, congestion, and air quality—and found, to their apparent surprise, that the two matched up. The states with the highest reported happiness, including sunny places like Hawaii and Florida, also ranked highest on the...
