Microsoft’s vision of the future
If a decent 90 minute indie costs $2m on the low end…
More Cuban.

But I don't think anyone knows what it's selling. I guess the point is that Microsoft is working on things that we should look forward to?

Great article from The New York Times on Elisabeth Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch's eldest child who recently purchased Reveille Productions, the producers of The Office and Ugly Betty, for around $125 million. “Why I love TV, and I see it in print journalism too, is that the audience will tell you that ...

Interesting post on rules for startups, which every successful dotcommer seems to be posting nowadays, but this one rule made me giggle: 8. As far as technology, go with what you know.
