The United States Constitution, while providing the basis of our government, is one hell of a complex, at times, infuriating document that will be debated to the end of time.

As such, it’s a perfect gold mine for comedians to dissect, which is exactly what’s happening at What The Constitution Means to You next week! A great panel of comedians (including stand-ups, improvisers, writers, actors, etc.) will attempt to make sense of constitutional precedents and decisions in order to become a “Chief Justice of Comedy”, as presided by host Max Sosna-Spear, “SCOTUS Justice” Carrie Poppy, and actual UCLA law professor Adam Winkler.

Sound pretty neat? Sure does. So, go get your tickets right now right here.

[圖]蘋果疑似防止新品洩露 禁用了爆料達人Rambo的開發者賬號

訪問:

蘋果在線商店(中國)

在他發布的這篇博文中,Rambo並未提及他通過Apple Beta軟件來尋找尚未發布的蘋果新���品線索，然後將他的這些發現發佈在9to5Mac媒體上。而這可能是他被蘋果拒之門外的主要原因。

蘋果對新產品有著嚴苛的保密措施，在其歷史上曾對洩密者和爆料者採取過嚴厲的措施。 2007年，蘋果要求關閉了Think Secret博客，原因是記者Nick Ciarelli在該渠道上發布了獨家的蘋果新聞報導。在2010年，在iPhone 4發布數月前外媒Gizmodo獲得了意外丟失的iPhone 4原型，並提前分享了拆解視頻，隨後蘋果採取強硬措施，刪除相關文章並支付了5000美元。

此後，蘋果在洩密和謠傳方面採取了更嚴苛的措施。首席執行官蒂姆·庫克（Tim Cook）表示，將對公司產品線的保密性加倍，但部分的細節仍在洩漏-通常被埋在蘋果自己的代碼中。

在過去幾年中，Rambo在蘋果代碼中發掘出了一些獨家蘋果新聞。通過深入探究iOS和macOS的新測試版內部，他發現有關iPhone，iPad和Mac上的新軟件和硬件功能的詳細信息，從而降低了蘋果新品發布的震撼效果。例如在新款AirPods Pro發布之前，Rambo就從代碼中找到了圖像。

蘭博說，蘋果不會特別告訴他為什麼他的帳戶仍然被鎖定。隨後外媒cultofmac就此事詢問了蘋果公司的公關團隊，目前尚未得到回复。在cultofmac採訪中，Rambo認為就是這個原因導致他的賬號被鎖定。

Rambo表示：“我不能非常肯定的說，因此蘋果官方從未明確對我說什麼。但是我認為肯定和我的爆料行為有關係。”Rambo表示，過去幾個月來，他與蘋果公司的一名員工交談有關其鎖定帳戶的所有嘗試均告失敗。據Rambo稱，他得到的唯一信息是他的帳戶“出於安全原因而被禁用”，並且Apple仍在調查情況。

不幸的是，Rambo的應用程序也無法更新。他此前為蘋果WWDC開發者大會��建了一款非官方的Mac應用程序；此外還有一款動漫公仔製作器ChibiStudi，目前在iOS平台上有超過10萬的活躍用戶。而且他為Mac開發的AirPods應用程序AirBuddy，也擁有上萬用戶。 Rambo表示在蘋果恢復他的開發者賬號之前，無法更新任意應用程序。

Pour some out for the sites that aren't here

Some of the best things ever seen or used on the web can't be saved. They're already gone. These are some of them, nominated by Kottke readers.

Google Reader. On the one hand, Google kind of ruined RSS, up until then the best distribution method for serial content, by turning it into a product. At the end, some of the best RSS readers weren't even RSS readers, just frontends for Google Reader, which handled all the resource-intensive work.

On the other hand, Google Reader was a really wonderful community. It had a lightweight social graph component, but it was really oriented around news and stories and blog updates that people shared. Everything that people wanted online comments to be, Google Reader was. And when it ended, it took all of that away, leaving social media networks -- which were really never designed to do content distribution -- as the only game in town. I honestly don't know if we've ever recovered.

Geocities. Geocities was a lot of people's first experience making and reading home pages, putting their lives, personalities, contact information, getting email addresses, and anything else they wanted to share out on the web. The "cities" conceit made it sortable and browsable: they weren't quite geographical and weren't quite thematic, but a weird combination of the two. It got bought by Yahoo, back when Yahoo was buying and blending everything, and went the way of all such things.

Now Geocities exists only in Japan, but, like a lot of "first websites," you can emulate it if you want using Glitch. As Anil Dash writes, "millions of people created their own websites in the era before today's social networks took over. Learning to tweak HTML to create a GeoCities page, or to customize CSS to make a MySpace page look perfect, was a rite of passage for the first 10 or 15 years of the web."

Think Secret was an early tech blog focused on Apple, back when Apple was very far from the biggest company in the world. Writing and reading about it, especially rumors about new products, was just a weird obsession for a handful of people. Anyways, Think Secret and its editor Nick "de Plume" Ciarelli got sued for violating trade secrets, and Think Secret was shut down as part of a settlement right as the iPhone was turning Apple into the company everybody was talking about all of the time. Things break another way, and that site's worth millions of dollars today. Then again, that didn't save Gawker -- so who knows.

Television Without Pity practically invented the genre of TV episode recaps, starting with Dawson's Creek. Now they're everywhere! It got bought by NBC in 2007 and shut down in 2014, but supposedly it's coming back. We'll see.

Nothing lasts forever on the World Wide Web. Even death.

With the proliferation of streaming services that never seem to end, Nick Ciarelli and Brad Evans offer up what it might be like (and what might actually happen) with what Google’s streaming service would be like.

Nick and Brad show off what would be a great episode of Black Mirror as well as their mastery of making satirical lists. Enjoy Google Drive Deluxe here.

Why Your Business Needs a Blog – And Why Big Businesses Should Pay Attention, Business Blogging

[ad_1]

I have am taken an interest in how people and organizations are affected by technology, and subsequently how it affects my pocket and yours. Whether you believe it or not, blogs are quickly evolving from the normal online journals and diaries into strong powerful marketing tools that are already shaping the way advertising and marketing is being done. There are well over 35 million blogs, with 40,000 new blogs being started every day. The blogosphere - the world of blogs - is doubling in size every 5 months! Some blogs have millions of readers per month, while your organization's website looks like a dull poster. If your organization is not paying attention, something is happening, you it may be going extinct!

While most companies and corporations have websites that look static and boring, with contents remaining unchanged for weeks, months and even years! Internet users typically don't have much reason to visit a website over and over unless they want to buy something or want a current gist. Big Corporations are already paying attention to the problems they can cause; from the whistle blowing on the MLMs (dipotepede and deoluakinyemi's posts on wonder bank blogs) to customers' complaints on forums ( nairaland's user- mypeace created a thread to announce UBA's hidden COT charges on savings accounts, Nigerian Village Square online protesters and British airways saga). Your business cannot afford to close its eyes to them, because they have been the next big phenomenon since the internet itself...it has given the small business a leverage to compete with other companies- and the rising profiles of blogs have the potential to shake up just about every business -- including yours. It's now no more an ordinary online journal; it's become a potent business weapon. It doesn't matter whether what that business is you are running, we need to pay attention before a one-man company runs you out of business.

Blogs have gradually becoming a potent voice in mass communication, advertising and marketing campaigns. Blogs have been responsible for breaking a number of stories before tele-media, including the capture of Saddam Hussein. A 20 year old Nick Ciarelli, has continued to be one pin apple can't sit on. His blog has a reputation as a reliable source of information about Apple computers' planned launches. This has made his blog a hot site for both competitors and buyers. Someone decided to open a blog to put McDonalds on it toes, to "discuss the brand experience of the world's largest fast food chain from the customer's point of view" , and consumers have been talking. There is an uploaded clip of a dell product exploding on YouTube; this has forced Dell computers to withdraw 4.1million of the defective model from the market. A dis-satisfied customer of United Airlines angrily created a website, "untied.com -problems of the united airlines", even arrogant Nigerian British Airways could not ignore the internet community at the Nigerian Village Square and their signature collection for an airline boycott to protest the treatment meted out to Nigerians in the airport. MTN, Biggs, and other corporations need to pay attention-they may be next, or a competitor may be coming. Mr. Edet (not real name) met the company he lost a web design and branding contract to-it was just a 28-year old boy working from the dining table of his Dad's house. While Mr. Edet runs a 12-man company, with his website running, exquisite office space in Ikeja; the young guy work alone, at home-a weblog and a proposal, did it.

Apart from being "consumer-revenge portals", blogs are now strong marketing and innovation tools tools. Millions of books hare being written everyday on business blogging. Business Week stated on its cover, "Blogging will change your business," and virtually every business needs to embrace blogging as a business tool. I have a strong conviction one of the users of nairaland, who posted a question on bank PHB's services, is a staff of Bank PHB trying to do a near cost-less survey on how their services are doing and it's amazing the kind of downright straight 2 d point responses. Most foreign companies are already incorporating blogs into their websites or encouraging their employees to blog and many of us are starting to offer business blogging consulting. Blogs can help companies in several ways:

" They give personality to a company and add personal relationship and interactivity to its website and brand. Thus building brand trust and customer retention. People give their money to people on blogs, for investments, goods or services, though they have never met them before.

" They offer a fantastic system to publicize company programs, opinions, values and products. I commend the PMNews team for adding the comments section to their news sections, imagine the reactions. Survey could be conducted easily, thereby giving us the power to keep tabs on market

" Search engines love blogs than websites. Due to their dynamic content, regular readers, and social network compatibility, blogs will drive traffic to your site traffic. Hence, potential customers.

" Since the internet has flattened commerce, SMEs (businesses) can become popular almost overnight. It has given businesses the potential to become popular overnight, and to literally reach literally millions of potential customers all around the globe, without the attendant cost of capital projects and infrastructure.

Business, in its simplest form, is the obtaining and retaining of customers, and the ability to make money and deliver excellent and quality products and services. Blogs will cause a huge change in the way customers are obtained and retained, how goods and services are delivered, and even how market survey is being carried out.

Though they may try, corporations/brands/etc. attempting to engage on a “real level” with the consumers they so desperately want often goes awry (especially when it comes to tragedy). 

So, the great sketch duo of Nick Ciarelli and Brad Evans have done their own super dark, satirical breakdown of what corporations might be thinking when pretending to have feelings on social media. Please enjoy their latest sketch here.

[thecomedybureau]

In this age of apps, there is, of course, an app that allows you to pay for “celebrity” (heavy emphasis on the quotation marks there) shout outs and endorsements via a video shot on a phone. 

It’s called Cameo and, as you can imagine, the videos have gotten a bit weird, and it is definitely ripe for the sort of send-up that the uber-clever Nick Ciarelli and Brad Evans just did. 

Please enjoy it here.
