Obama admin takes aim at China’s renewable-energy... →
Last week, in a move that pits American labor against China’s green-technology industry, the Obama administration filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization over China’s wind-power subsidies.

Let's Hear It for the Unappreciated Heroes of 2010 →
Under-Appreciated Person One: Bradley Manning. While we were all fixated on Julian Assange, the story of the young American soldier who actually leaked the classified documents passed almost unnoticed. If Manning was mentioned at all, it was as to be described an impetuous, angry kid who downloaded the documents onto a CD and leaked them as a result of a “grudge” or “tantrum.” Here’s what...

Tumbl, and You Shall Find →
this is making tumblr really, really neat.  One of the big challenges on Tumblr right now is the problem of discovery: How can we come up with better ways to help Tumblr users find great new, interesting things outside of the circle of the people they follow? One step toward solving this is our new curated tag pages. Right now, with the help of several smart members of the Tumblr community,...

What one tragedy can teach us about the...
