Google Employee Goes on Public Rant - A lot of the criticism against Google was that it didn't have enough APIs available. Humorously, a few hours later, the Google API team reveals a new design and additional APIs.
Amazon's Artificial Artificial Intelligence - This is an interesting concept. Amazon has created a service where you can outsource data mining and data collecting tasks to actual people around the world. I recently read in article on how somebody wanted to find the release date of 264 albums, and used this service instead of looking it all up himself. Only cost him $14. I also how much money I can rake in looking up mundane information on Google at 2 cents a pop.
