Links for Wednesday July 23^th, 2008

• Beijing 2008 Preparations - Three Weeks to Go - The Big Picture - Boston.com: The facilities that China has constructed for the Olympics look fairly impressive.

• jkOnTheRun: First look at the Live Mesh client on Mac OS X: I have written about this before, but I'm surprised to see that Microsoft is making Live Mesh cross-platform. Not sure how this sells Windows licenses, but it looks cool nonetheless.

• A Big Thank You and Big News! | POPSUGAR - Celebrity Gossip: I think there is a strong argument to be made for insourcing things that give an organization value, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

• Fraser Speirs – Demographics Is Destiny: It boggles the mind to think that there will be more active users on iPhone OS than Mac OS X. But it's all good, so long as Apple doesn't give OS X the short shrift.
