Going rogue inside a big company (a la Best Buy) - (37signals)
How can you apply Getting Real-ish ideas inside a big company? Here’s an idea: Go rogue. Pick something and do it under the radar. Create something in a few weeks that normally takes a few months. Do something in a way that works better than the status quo (or shows the promise of working better), Then you won’t need to convince anyone with words — the results will speak for themselves.

A.I.G.s Bailout Terms Revealed - Mergers, Acquisitions, Venture Capital, Hedge Funds -- DealBook - New York Times
“There is now going to be a feast, as buyers rush to pick up A.I.G.’s assets at fire-sale prices. This is a shame, really, since the company was a good competitor abroad for America, particularly in China. Now that Chinese business will probably just be sold to the Chinese at a bargain price.”

OpenDNS Blog » Google turns the page… in a bad way.
In short, Google and Dell have teamed up to install some software on Dell computers that borders on being spyware. I say spyware because it’s hard to figure out what it is and is even harder to remove. It also breaks all kinds of OpenDNS functionality.
