- Which SVP At Yahoo Quit Today? By Michael Arrington | Techcrunch.com. “The Yahoo resignation parade is getting so popular that Wired contributing editor Matt Honan created a Do-It-Yourself Resignation Letter, just fill in the blanks and hit submit (nice subject line on that email, by the way).”
- The iPhone’s Next Frontier: Porn By Jeremy Caplan | Time.com. “Apple may be golden because of the iPhone, but the soon-to-be-updated device is also increasingly the source of forbidden fruit.

- What the diverging fates of Yahoo!, eBay and Amazon say about the internet By The Economist. “AND so Yahoo! survives. The internet company—which, at the age of 14, is one of the oldest—appears in the end to have rebuffed Microsoft, the software Goliath that wanted to buy it. It has done so, in part, by surrendering to Google, the younger internet company that is its main rival. In a vague deal apparently designed to confuse antitrust regulators, Yahoo! is letting Google, the biggest force in web-search advertising, place text ads next to some of Yahoo!’s own search results. Google thus controls some or all of the ads on all the big search engines except Microsoft’s. Yahoo! lives, but on the web’s equivalent of life support.”
