POPSBut They Are Not The First To Fake The New York Times Other headlines declared that the "Maximum Wage Law Succeeds," "Nationalised Oil to Fund Climate Change Efforts" and "Nation Sets Its Sights On Building Sane Economy." There is also a full page fake advertisement on page three from the world's largest publicly traded oil company Exxon Mobil saying the company applauded the end of the Iraq war and that peace is "an idea the world can profit from". In a pamphlet handed out to volunteers when they picked up copies of the newspaper to distribute there was a "Frequently Asked Questions" section. In response to "who made this?" it said: "Who knows? Rumors are it's a group of writers from several mainstream dailies - including The New York Times." The Yes Men, who were the subject of a book and documentary in 2004, have pulled off pranks including posing as Exxon Mobil and National Petroleum Council representatives to deliver a speech at a Canadian oil conference.

POPSWriters really spoof it up. but wouldn't it cool if this was true? Hundreds of independent writers, artists, and activists are claiming credit for an elaborate project, 6 months in the making, in which 1.2 million copies of a "special edition" of the New York Times were distributed in cities across the U.S. by thousands of volunteers. The papers, dated July 4th of next year, were headlined with long-awaited news: "IRAQ WAR ENDS". The edition, which bears the same look and feel as the real deal, includes stories describing what the future could hold: national health care, the abolition of corporate lobbying, a maximum wage for CEOs, etc. There was also a spoof site, at http://www.nytimes-se.com/.

POPSA future of a DIY of everything The question is if this will force customers to get involved in even more decisions. Maybe they will get bored soon and turn the slogan 'Just do it' into 'Just do it (for me - I cannot bother anymoreto be a designer myself)'?

POPSBad news for the long tail It turns out that the long tail may not have any silver lining - online music sales effectively run down to zero faster than expected and winners take even more. It looks like the future really is going to be one or two megastars and a whole lot of one hit youtube amateurs.

POPSLucy, the oldest hominid skeleton When we were at the museum visiting Body Worlds 2, volunteers were making plaster molds of dinosaur teeth and other interesting things. We picked up a cast of Lucy's footprint. My daughter is taking it for show and tell today. In preparation I looked up some facts on Lucy. I had no idea she was so tiny. She is shorter than my 5-year-old! Her footprint is so twee.

POPS'Junk' DNA proves functional Over evolutionary time, these repeats were dispersed within different species, creating new regulatory sites throughout these genomes. Thus, the set of genes controlled by these transcription factors is likely to significantly differ from species to species and may be a major driver for evolution. This research also shows that these repeats are anything but "junk DNA," since they provide a great source of evolutionary variability and might hold the key to some of the important physical differences that distinguish humans from all other species. The GIS study also highlighted the functional importance of portions of the genome that are rich in repetitive sequences.

POPSThe last, best day for newspapers I used to work at the Post and it was exciting to walk by the office yesterday and see a line of people clamoring for the paper. But I think it's the last, best day for the printed paper. I wonder if the Post will ever sell so many copies again? People like souvenirs of history, but how often does history happen? Before deadline? And able to get on the front page of the paper? It's just not that often. When it happens again in 10, 15, 20 years, will the lines be as long? I'm optimistic about the future of journalism. But I think the physical printed project, though probably not destined to go away completely, is still set to decline in numbers for very many years.

POPSNewspaper Not Dead - At Least for Today A total run on newspapers as people snatch them up for mementos. Somehow storing the internet article on your hard drive is not quite the same as sticking the front page of the newspaper in a box in the attic.

POPSBurying the lead And yet they had a "****-me" story. But they chose to bury not only the lead but the entire dog: "Obama's Straight-Ahead Style". Why not just call it "Nothing To See Here, Folks. Another Direct-To-Birdcage Production"? There is no explanation for the Chronicle's action if they're in the newspaper business (ie, in attracting readers, selling copies, etc.). But it makes perfect sense if they're in the ideological PR business in hopes of electing politicians sufficiently grateful to include them in the next $700 billion bailout.

POPSMonitor to End Its Daily Print Edition This is beginning of the end of newspapers in paper. About time. Point of no return. I don't think others will last much longer. Progress can be delayed by some saboteurs, but cannot be stopped.

POPS"Obama Wins!," declares newspaper "So, “each copy must be read by 100 different and distinct people. This places an enormous burden on our intrepid readers. However, it is a burden that we must insist you carry. So, please, read quickly, care for the physical condition of the paper and pass it on to your next chosen reader.”
