• One on One: Fred Wilson, Union Square Ventures: Good interview with Fred Wilson. Includes this near the end:

  "So you use Android and not the iPhone?
  Yes. It’s a political statement.

  In what respect?
  I just don’t like some of the decisions that Apple has made. I’m not making a big stink about it. I get the whole thing with Flash, but it angers me when I go to a Web page with a Flash video and I can’t watch it. Plus the whole porn thing. I’m a free speech bigot. I don’t like censorship; I just don’t think it’s a good thing."

  While I don't miss Flash whatsoever, the greater sense of censorship is really starting to grate.

• Futurama characters as X-Men: Very well done.

• Apple Reverses Block Of Oscar Wilde Graphic Novel’s Gay Kissing: These "mistakes" are just going to keep happening, due to the nature of the "curated" App Store model. And for every one, Apple's image will continue to suffer.

• The Iraqi who saved Norway from oil: A great success story for Norway, and interesting how it all came about.

• How sharp is the iPhone 4.0’s screen?: Be sure to comare the full-size picture of the 3GS screen with the one of the iPhone 4. The benefit provided by the new Retina Display is really dramatic.
