Mon, 23 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Fortune - By Beth Kowitt - Aug. 23 (Investigative Report) - Apple's retail stores aren't the only place where lines form these days. It's 7:30 on a July morning, and already a crowd has gathered for the opening of Trader Joe's newest outpost, in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. The waiting shoppers chat about their favorite Trader Joe's foods, and a woman in line launches into a monologue comparing the retailer's West Coast and East Coast locations. Another customer suggests that the chain will be good for Chelsea, even though the area is already brimming with places to buy groceries, including Whole Foods and several upscale food boutiques.

The smartest people in tech - Smartest Academic: Danah Boyd

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Business 2.0 - Jul. 09 (Opinion) - When Danah Boyd gave the opening remarks at this year's influential SXSW Interactive Festival, her thoughts on privacy were e-mailed, blogged, and tweeted by and to tech influencers. Boyd, a fellow at Harvard University's Berkman Center and a social scientist at Microsoft Research, might be a 32-yearold academic, but when she speaks the whole tech world -- from CEOs to engineers -- takes notice. Boyd conducts research on social media, and the self-identified geek has made a career of questioning the status quo. She's not afraid to ruffle some feathers in the process. "When I hit raw nerves, I know I need to actually go deeper," she says. Her SXSW address took on two of the Internet's giants, Google and Facebook, accusing the companies of failing to understand consumers' privacy concerns.

Who pays taxes - and how much? A tax day perennial.

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Business 2.0 - By Jeanne Sahadi - Apr. 16 (Special Report) - For most Americans, Wednesday is the day they have to make sure they're square with the tax man. It's also a day that focuses the mind on those perennial questions about the fairness of the U.S. tax system. Are higher-income people paying enough - or would raising their taxes depress their incentive to work? Are the poor getting gouged - or do too many get off without paying a penny? Are those in the vast middle getting squeezed?
