Last time I bought a traditional paper was just before I purchased my iPad. Prior to that time, I bought a paper of some type at least once a week when I travel by train to London see a client. as well as a Sunday paper at home. Nowadays, I just carry my iPad with me on the train and read whatever I fancy on the iPad. IMO there is a big problem for traditional papers, if this is a trend. I rarely buy anything traditional anymore. I also have noticed that commuters on my train with iPad or Kindles no longer carry a paid magazine or a big broadsheet in their hand – but they did seem to also pick up the morning free papers. London Commuters On the way back from the city to suburbs, normally also pickup the free Evening-Standard. So IMO there is still some appetite for traditional papers so long it is free.

By Salar Golestanian @ 25 Jan 2011 ::

Microsoft Soho House Tech Day with UBelly guys last Friday went really well. I found some of the MS product talks very interesting and as well as finding some value in the discussion of how these could be used for the open source community. It was also great to meet face to face with members of other communities, such as wordpress, Umbraco and Drupal. I hope we can continue to meet on a regular basis.

Google is preparing for war with Apple and Microsoft over the future of web video. Google today clarified Their H.264 Stance.

It is very strange that they did this so quietly hopping no one will notice - However, the post resulted in a shitstorm and It seems as if just about everyone weighed in on the decision. For the rest of us we will just be caught in the crossfire

Avoiding Another Dot-Com Crash? [Mashable Poll]
By Salar Golestanian @ 14 Jan 2011 ::

For those of us those are old enough to remember the last .com crash and how it affect us the Developer Community. Today’s article on Mashable is fascinating and a wakeup call nonetheless. In my mind if it was not for the banking recession of the last two years, then the .com bubble would have been a lot bigger. And the inflated valuations we see today for some of the recent Start-ups rounds of financing would have been even bigger and we would have been closer to another .com crash.
