			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just got the below email from Spoke.com. I like the message they were trying to send: &#8220;Reconnect &amp; protect important contacts with Spoke&#8221;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s where they started to loose me:</p>
<blockquote><p>The cusp of a new year always provides great opportunities to reaffirm the relationships you&#8217;ve built over the past year.</p>
<p>Besides the holidays, December 26th is also Nation Thank You Note Day.  Use this opportunity to send a note, separate of your holiday wishes, to specifically thank your customers, partners, and colleagues for their support over the past year.</p></blockquote>
<p>I guess I&#8217;m just confused why they are sending this now. Maybe it was timely back in December&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>David Carr with the New York Times had an article on May 2, 2010 entitled: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/03/business/media/03carr.html?ref=todayspaper" target="_blank">A Lost iPhone Shows Apple&#8217;s Churlish Side.</a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an email I sent him with some of my comments &#038; thoughts. </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>With respect to your recent article re: Apple&#8217;s Churlish Side </p>
<p>I agree that their visiting the suspects home was behavior befitting a more brutish, paranoid organization and the search and seizure at Jason Chen&#8217;s home has yet to be ruled legal or illegal. Apple&#8217;s positon on REACT likely fueled the legal effort.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m not making judgement yet but would encourage you to consider an update with a detail:</p>
<p>http://gawker.com/5448177/update-apple-wins-the-first-prize-in-our-tablet-scavenger-hunt</p>
<p>In light of this prior action my Gawker, I feel Apple has no choice but to assert itself as the iPhone 4G was second frontal assault by Gawker in a short time. </p>
<p>With both the iPad treasure hunt and the iPhone 4G in view, Gawker has crossed a line of journalist and headed towards facailating corporate espionage.</p>
<p>Some thoughts. Would welcome hearing from you.   </p>
<p>Sorry for any typos, doing this from my phone. </p>
<p>-Jon</p>
