Outstanding! Major media outlets always prepare obituaries for celebrities well in advance so that they can push them live as soon as the Twitter hordes announce their death. Apparently, one outlet has broken the embargo with its Rupert Murdoch obit

Many Eagle scouts are returning their badges in protest of the Boy Scouts of America's ongoing discrimination against gay scouts and leaders. It's good to see American's increasing acceptance of the LGBT community among us and I hope BSA changes its attitude but I'm not hopeful.

Some fascinating discussion this morning on +Up with Chris Hayes about small businesses… 1
Some fascinating discussion this morning on +Up with Chris Hayes about small businesses and specifically "what is a small business?" You may have caught Obama's line during the debate the other night about Donald Trump being a small business.
Most of us think of the local restaurants, dry cleaners and countless other independently owned and operated companies as small businesses However, it turns out that under the rules that Mitt Romney references when he says 97% of companies are small businesses, that actually includes the likes of Trump.
Companies with less than 500 employees are small businesses even if they are nothing more than S-Corporations or holding companies that exist solely for the purpose of avoiding certain types of taxes. These holding companies often have only a handful of employees to do little more than own a much larger enterprise and there are sometimes multiple levels of these holding enterprises each of which counts as a "small" business.
While Romney's policies may very well benefit all of these small companies, they are unlikely to actually generate any jobs in the process.

Creating beautiful jewel-like pieces of hardware comes at a cost 6
There's a reason why high-end hardware like Swiss watches have traditionally come at a high price. In order for Apple to maintain its extraordinarily high margins, they have to squeeze somewhere, and it again appears to be workers in China. This goes for every other manufacturer as well although so far Apple is the only one to push this hard on quality. If consumers want this level of design and quality they have to be willing to pay for it but so far they have shown no inclination to do so and workers in China are left paying the price.
The iPhone 5’s Impossible Design Comes at a Very Real Price
When you hold the iPhone 5 it feels, frankly, unreal. It’s lighter than it has any business being, it’s thinner, it’s smoother. Regardless of how you feel about Apple, its latest phone seems too good …
