Links for Saturday February 6^th, 2010

• YouTube - GoogleNexusOne's Channel: Google has been posting some "behind the scenes" videos of the Nexus One. While I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff (and I wish that Apple would peel back the curtain a little bit more), I have found that these videos lacking of the "meat" — the actual thought, work, design choices, etc. that went into the creation of the Nexus One. Maybe the later videos will be better.

• Happy camper: Here's one positive review of the Google Nexus One.

• Rage Against The Machine top UK singles chart: Old news now, but amazing nonetheless. There is more on Wikipedia proper.

• Apple Confidential: The Acquisition Of NEXT: Interesting article about Apple's acquisition of NeXT, including a rough sequence of events. It's amazing that the deal went from start to finish in a little under a month. Also interesting:

  "Amelio now admits that Apple overpaid for NeXT, but it had little choice given the dire straits the company was in at the time."

  I'd say, in hindsight, that Apple got a great deal on NeXT.
