Business as usual for Apple…
Ultimately, initial talks between Apple and Facebook failed, because of Facebook terms that CEO Steve Jobs described as "onerous," according to numerous reports.. Nevertheless, Apple reportedly tried to implement Facebook integration into Ping without authorization, according to AllThingsD. But it didn’t take long for Facebook to figure out Apple’s ploy, and Ping was soon cut off from Facebook.
Facebook and Apple are reportedly still in discussions over Ping, but it’s unclear how long the negotiations will take or whether they will be successful.

 So there’s an article out there on the wild wild world of web claiming that India and Russia are now the #1 and #2 producers of malware. The data is from Network Box, and the data (what data there is) is actually pretty interesting. I have the one nit that saying “virus producers” implies “virus authors”, but looking at the data I don’t think that’s what they mean. Instead, it looks like they are making the determination based on source of origin for attacks.

Can you read blogs and write e-mail while watching TV? I do. And I must. For with all the information available these days, and my personal unwillingness to miss out on conversations or media consumption, I’ve done more than embrace what many call "continuous partial attention".

What I’m seeing after the first day of tweaking my syndication settings
- Blogger => Google Buzz: instant (Buzz appears to use dynamic content queries)
- Blogger => Twitter via Twitterfeed: still a seemingly arbitrary subset of blog posts showing up in Twitter
- Blogger => Facebook (via Facebook page/note subscription to my blog’s XML syndication feed): worked once, after initial set-up; no updates since then
