• Comcast enters rebranding territory
  at The Boston Globe (via /.):

  W2 Group’s Weber said such a rebranding is “a bit old-fashioned’’ and a new name is unlikely to impress consumers. “I think the public is smarter than that now,’’ he said.

  Glad to hear them at least acknowledge that. Re-branding is a terrible idea unless you plan to back it up with real changes. As an unhappy-but-basically-locked-in Comcast customer, I hope this is the real thing.

  FemaleScienceProfessor:

  I miss the beauty of real books and the the variety of fonts and book designs. And I miss having a physical sense for how long a book is. The Kindle method of reporting the % of each book read is deeply unsatisfying. However, I find the Kindle pages very easy to read and navigate, and clicking to turn the page can be extremely handy when you have a large cat pinning down one your arms.
