Influence: The Power of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini

It was interesting to learn why certain techniques work.

Or Microsoft and Twitter having drama over the use of the name Vine

QOTD - "just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu"

Forgot to add http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivore_(software) and possibly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON

or Amazon? Cloud service, like Google Reader, plus Kindle support would be nice

G+ looks interesting but I expect Google Docs to support mindmaps soon based on the tour

Anyone want to wager when Google Mindmaps will debut?

Not aware of any existing services but during the recent tornadoes in AL, I was wondering why someone has built a google map/twitter mashup that would allow tweeting a sighting and either allow the person to specify the location or use the device's GPS readings. An account could be setup (@tornado_bot) and a service could pull the coordinates from its tweet-stream. If you follow it and are nearby, it could notify you of the danger(via direct message). Also, a way to specify possible direction and speed would be really beneficial.

Saddam and the Nazis surrendered, bin Laden did not. The rules of engagement are clear, which also hold true for metro police actions, in that lethal force is authorized when the other party brandishes a weapon. If he had not had a weapon, if he had raised his hands instead of an AK then he would have faced trial but that is not how things went down.
