- There are apparently 400,000 'cracked' iPhones in China — that is, iPhone users using unauthorised carriers. It's a nice illustration of what Thomas Barnett says in this op-ed: 'Today America sees a very different world than the rest of the planet does: We want it instantly tidied up with no terrorists and no autocrats and no environmental damage — a "getting it right at all costs" grand strategy. Meanwhile, that young, ambitious non-Western chunk of humanity focuses on an entirely different agenda a "getting ahead at all costs" grand strategy.'
- A few weeks ago I cringed at the very idea of trying to make 'hip' ADF recruiting ads. But the US Navy shows it might just be possible.
