Nukes and Burberries

In light of the events of the past couple of days, I had a rather odd thought this morning; it occurred to me that the only useful thing to come out of the LA riots 10 years ago may have been Rodney King's plaintive plea, "Can't we all just get along?" Granted, he's not a very savory character, but his remark in front of that mob of media may be more widely quoted than the mouthings of any other drunken loudmouth in recent memory. Anyway, I'll echo his phrase.

Salman Rushdie has an Op/Ed about the possible India-Pakistan war, with a suggestion for the international community. Another opinion piece offers suggestions for private/public cooperation in areas of cyber-security. A conflict of much smaller import, but one many of us apparently have, is embodied in the acronym "RTFM." Well, here's an article attempting to explain why we don't, and what companies are doing about it.

Jupiter Media just released their latest data showing traffic numbers for websites; here's an arbitrary analysis of some of those sites. For a better product than that offered there, you can do worse than Burberry; now may be your chance to buy stock in the coat-maker. Stockholder dividends paid in raincoats or brollies, perhaps?
