Weekly Links List.

Maybe I should start doing a once a week post, probably on Friday, of the good/interesting articles I read randomly throughout the week… This week’s is really short since I just came up with the idea but I’ll be more on the ball next week for sure. Here’s the start:
Where the Boys Aren’t (Business Week)— “Time Inc.’s research found that men spend more time with new media than women, which may account for the decline [in number of men reading printed material].”
Torrential Reign (Fortune) — About Bram Cohen’s BitTorrent software and how it made it a cinch to pirate films on the Internet.
Why Apple & Intel & VT will kick ass (Blog)— “With VT… forget dual boot. You will be able to run OSX & Windows (or linux or whatever) in parallel simultaneously on the same machine. This is huge! This means that your next PC purchase can be an Apple, so you can use the stupid tools work MAKES you use, but you can use OSX for everything you want to use, so you can get shit DONE. This is a much cooler demo than Xen running Linux & plan9 running together…”
Left Alone: On the lure of private life in a time of public peril (MotherJones) access code mjz4et, it’s long— “It is as if society were divided into two classes of Romans, those who maintain an unabashed faith in empire, and the more politically fastidious, who only want an imperial style of life: a Tuscan villa, a perfect crepe, an out-of-this-world bath.”
Renaissance Radiance, Gilded in Gothic (NY Times) — Fra Angelico exhibition at the Met! Guess where I’m going in two weeks… “The Metropolitan Museum’s sublime exhibition of the Renaissance painter Fra Angelico is the show of a lifetime.”
