Steve Jobs: The Rumors Continue.

The silicon valley paparazzi took this picture of Steve Jobs' car, parked directly next to, but not in, the handicapped spot. He is allowed to park handicapped if he wants, so why the regular spot?

The rumor is that Mr. Jobs is no longer allowed to park handicapped by his PR staff, because it's a sign of weakness, which could mess up Apples stocks again. (Apple news or Daily Axioms followers will remember that a false internet rumor about Jobs in the hospital caused apple stocks to plummet.)

Our theories? 1. Someone else was driving his car 2. It's not his car 3. He didn't care since it's probably a 2-foot difference between handicapped and regular.

Russia to Internet: No Free Speech For You!

Why hasn't Google taken over Russia yet? Apparently before Google can acquire "Begun", the Russian advertising internet start-up, they have to release a list of their employees to Russia's anti-trust authority. Basically, they have to make sure that there are no liberals or Jews on the board.

This can be a reminder to all of us Americans that we're really fortunate to live in a place where free speech and free market economics are happening. Even in a downturn, I'd rather be on this side of things! (Valleywag)

Facebook Ads Get Personal

We've written earlier on targeted facebook ads; but this is really taking it to a new level. People are apparently targeting individuals for advertising. For example, a hopeful media intern has set up facebook ads to target his potential employers. Even better, a dad has set up a facebook ad asking some girls to date his son. So embarrassing!

With advertising everyone can afford, it's turned into a fun new way to communicate. Revenue generation is now secondary. (Valleywag)
