LG Calls Apple A ‘Copycat’
When Apple unveiled its new iPhone last month – you remember, when the Internet went into a collective paroxysm, speaking in tongues and falling into ecstatic prostration at Steve Jobs feet – many of us observers said, "hey, wait a minute. Didn’t LG just win a prize for a phone just like that?"

I’ve written in this space before about Web site searcher behavior, but I don’t think I’ve ever talked about how it feels to search.

Google – Cultural Digital Archive?
Marc’s The Video Library of Alexandria post on O’Reilly Radar connected a set of dots for me that I can’t believe I never connected on my own.
