Links for 1/12/2011

Here is a list of stuff I was reading about today.

  1. One of the big news stories of the day was the video released by Sarah Palin. Palin really dropped the ball with this one, and Ezra Klein explains her missed opportunity.
  2. Not sure the answer to Saturday’s shooting is to have more people carrying guns, especially Congressmen.
  3. Looks like things may finally be turing around for the US economy. And the Dow Jones was at its highest level since September 2008.
  4. Apple released a beta version of iOS 4.3, with some cool new features for the iPad, especially the swipe up to reveal the multitasking tray. Also, I’m glad they are allowing the option to change the side-switch back to rotation lock.
  5. If you use Omnifocus, here is a great wish list for version 2, expected sometime this year.
  6. A first look at The Girl with the Dragoon Tattoo.
  7. And finally, Bazinga!
