You are probably familiar with the “Cows and Governments” peice, where all kinds of governments are compared to one another by using two cows for comparison. Well, this is my takeoff on this aiming at the Web 2.0 sites and the Internet sphere.
Google: You have two cows. One is sponored and the other is irrelevant.

An open letter to all iPhone customers from Steve Jobs
I have received hundreds of emails from iPhone customers who are upset about Apple dropping the price of iPhone by $200 two months after it went on sale. After reading every one of these emails, I have some observations and conclusions.
First, I am sure that we are making the correct decision to lower the price of the 8GB iPhone from $599 to $399, and that now is the right time to do it. iPhone is a breakthrough product, and we have the chance to ‘go for it’ this holiday season. iPhone is so far ahead of the competition, and now it will be affordable by even more customers. It benefits both Apple and every iPhone user to get as many new customers as possible in the iPhone ‘tent’. We strongly believe the $399 price will help us do just that this holiday season.
Second, being in technology for 30+ years I can attest to the fact that the technology road is bumpy. There is always change and improvement, and there is always someone who bought a product before a particular cutoff date and misses the new price or the new operating system or the new whatever. This is life in the technology lane. If you always wait for the next price cut or to buy the new improved model, you’ll never buy any technology product because there is always something better and less expensive on the horizon. The good news is that if you buy products from companies that support them well, like Apple tries to do, you will receive years of useful and satisfying service from them even as newer models are introduced.

Da Vinci’s Last Supper - a new conspiracy theory
New claims that Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper contains a hidden image of a woman holding a child are provoking a storm of interest. The figure allegedly appears when the 15th Century mural painting is superimposed with its mirror image, and both are made partially transparent.
Mr Pesci, an Italian amateur scholar, discovered the finding and claims that the superimposed image shows a goblet in front of Jesus Christ - perhaps a depiction of his blessing of bread and wine - and transforms two of the people sitting at the table into knights.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future
Baz Lurhman wrote a song for the class of 97, telling them all they should wear sunscreen, and giving them other useful tips for the future. I came across a similar list of tips for high-schoolers, written by Charles Sykes, where he explains what is the real world like, and what kids should be prepared for, as well as stumbled over another list by Dave Barry.
I love these tips, so I decided I should aggregate them all in one place and also searched for a few more tips and hacks from people who already passed a few things in their life, and gathered what you should learn from them. Have fun:

The Internet really crashed this time!
A while ago, a great video about how the Internet has crashed, started circling the web, but it was just a funny little clip (very funny clip, by the way), and I don’t think anyone took it seriously.
Today, some of our favorite sites have really crashed, due to a major power outage in San Francisco. If you want to see some more info about it, check out the post in Mashable.
