And now, your nightly build, compiling the stories we didn't have time to cover in depth, but deserve mention:
* In addition to charging a new monthly fee as we mentioned in the reboot, Skype also [released version 3][1] of their Windows app today. New features include public chats, music recommendations via last.fm and more.

* One of Apple computer's top secret research labs flooded earlier today destroying all prototypes of the iPhone. Just kidding. About the iPhone. And the top secret lab. But an Apple building [really did flood][2].

* The New York Times has a great [blog post][3] about Jim Buckmaster of Craigslist confounding Wall Street analysts at a recent Q and A. When asked how Craigslist maximizes revenue Buckmaster said: "That definitely is not part of the equation. It's not part of the goal."

* According to Wired Mag columnist Bruce Sterling, [the internet of the future][4], "will be wrapped in a Chinese kung fu outfit, intoned in an Indian accent, oozing Brazilian sex appeal." Sweet!

* And finally, the bossman extraordinaire, Chris Anderson, has a great [article on his blog][5] about what radical transparency would mean for the future of news organizations. And now that I know what that phrase, "radical transparency," means, I promise I'll never show up at the office wrapped in cellophane again. Man this stuff itches.
