It’s an emerging rule of thumb that suggests that if you get a group of 100 people online then one will create content, 10 will “interact” with it (commenting or offering improvements) and the other 89 will just view it.

Daily Shows John Hodgman explains the internet and more July 20, 2006

This Daily Show clip kicks the point through with a double-foot-to-face-stomp-of-fury that the internet is not a big truck. The clip stars our favorite Apple PC vs. Mac commercial actor and Daily Show “resident expert”, John Hodgman, and tells us in G.E.D. terms what Net Neutrality really is. The best part? The throwout to the Apple ads, and the huge audience reaction afterwards. – Jason Chen

New ipod nanos in August July 20, 2006
Posted by farshadf in iPod.add a comment
Gizmodo “Fans feeling a little tired with Apple’s not-refreshed-since-September iPod nano could be pleasantly surprised with rumors pointing to an August release of the next version of the nano. Those notorious leakers that Apple hates so, so much have said that the updated nano will be revealed at the Worldwide Developer’s Conference, along with an iTunes Music Store movie rental service. The nano is expected to be released in several different colors, and at least one of which will be in an alloy metal enclosure, like the reader-donated mockup here shows. Additionally, the capacity of the nano is expected to increase quite a bit, supposedly topping out at either 6GB or 8GB.
In related iPod news, the true video iPod has been pushed back until at least January because of continued technical difficulties. In the meantime, expect current 5G iPod models to see an increased storage capacity to placate antsy consumers, possibly topping out at 80GB. These iPods aren’t expected to be announced in August, however.” – Nicholas Deleon
