Mattel gets judge to ban Bratz on intellectual property groundsOne maker of sexualized children's toys has gotten a judge to crush another, on the grounds that Bratz' creator violated its copyright and probably came up with the idea on Mattel time.

Time Out To Sell New York, Chicago Editions; Founder Not HappyTime Out is selling its New York edition for $40 million (£26.8 million) after its investors pushed for a return on their 13-year investment—the magazine's founder Tony Elliot wants to hold on the mag but can't afford to buy them out. He tells Times Online that a TONY sale will take place for the right price, but "if somebody offers $10 million, it won't happen". TONY's investors ploughed in a good deal of capital to set up the magazine in 1995—The Times puts it at between $10 million and $30 million—but Elliot has not found a way, or the money,...

How 1-800-Contacts Could Focus its Home PageYesterday we talked about value propositions that answer the question: “why should I buy from you rather than from anybody else?” As promised, we’re going to look closer at the practical application of a clear value statement and to achieve “congruence” (every element on your landing page either expresses or supports the value proposition). Our example is 1-800-Contacts: Note: This is an above-the-fold shot, and doesn’t show the additional graphics and text below the fold that I refer to in the next section.

The Huffington Post Raises $25 MillionThe Huffington Post raises $25 million from Oak Investment Partners, according to the likes of VentureBeat, TechCrunch, and Silicon Alley Insider.

That’s the really cool thing about trying to find ways to make new technology an integral part of our lives, we get to see all kinds of interesting ideas. However - it is also the cause of really mind numbing, head shaking, smacking one’s head against the desk reasons where we wonder just how far we really have progressed. There is no doubt that solar power is going to be an important part of our energy mix. Yes it still needs a lot of work in order to make it truly cost effective for mass use; but we’re getting...
