Economics/Geekonomics/Freakonomics
A little more thought on the 'Cult of Finance" and similar ideas.  More worth reading for the links and references, but the basic idea is one I agree with.  Markets, financial professionals, etc. were literally regarded with cultlike adoration.  The 'rational decisions' made under such conditions were not rational.

Comics
Marvel looking for writers for b-list characters.  Not the best deal, but for the lucky few it may be a break.

Social Media
A look at how two game companies are using social media.  Short, but interesting – and a good example of how social media can be leveraged by non-social media companies (and if you're in gaming, some good examples).    Frankly social media will soon be everywhere, so studying business cases like this is a good idea to see ways to leverage it where you work.

Technology
An Open Cloud Computing Manifesto is causing some controversy despite it not being out and coming from a relatively unknown source.  What this really tells me is that Cloud Computing is big enough to A) get manifestos that B) get people up in arms.  Of course let us be honest – cloud computing is half buzzword, it's just leveraging a bunch of distributed technologies under a name and philosophy.  But it is big, and you will need to keep up on it in the Geekonomy, so you might as well start – because buzzwordy as it is, it is also about a lot of technology in use and that is evolving.

A massive computer spy system steals documents.  If you're in IT, you should know this.  If not, you do now.  Also this is the kind of thing any IT professional or Geekonomic professional should use to scare the utter hell out of people that don't appreciate good security.

Video Games
The Hello Kitty MMORPG will come to the states.  More MMOs for non-hardcore people.  I'm becoming of the mind that MMOs will be in a way like social media (in a way aren't they social media?), in that they will be widespread and a lot of people will use them.  In this case there's room for many niche markets as well, so I can see a lot of room to fill.  As an example, why not have a mystery MMO for mystery buffs, etc.?

Sony is creating a matching-fund development fund.  This is for indie developers and will focus on PSN.  Doesn't necessarily help with those bizarre download charges, but may offset them.  Sony has made noise about doing more unusual stuff before.  I'm pretty sure this extends their "power through" strategy with more "throw everything against the wall" strategy.  Still for you developers, a good opportunity perhaps.
