      CDNs Prepare to Benefit from Higher Bitrate Content
      I think the biggest driver of bandwidth use is the Flip Video. I just purchased one, and it's fantastic -- it makes taking and sharing video amazingly easy. For example, you can upload a video to YouTube and share it with family. By opening the video sharing market to millions more people (it only costs $150 and is the same size as a small digital camera), that's got to result in huge increases in bandwidth use. If you haven't seen the Flip Video, here's the product on Amazon:

      United Technologies Should Hold Up Well in a Recession
      I'm always baffled by this sort of article. If you're worried about a global recession, surely you don't want to own any stocks? Why not just 100% to cash?

      Google's Revenue Tracking Below Street Expectations - Piper
      I've heard anecdotally from some AdSense customers that revenue per click was down sharply in January, and has recovered in February but not to December levels.

      Turbulence in the Wireless Industry: Who Benefits?
      Nice overview. This focuses on developed markets, particularly the US. But in developing markets, where the opportunity is arguably much larger, the race is for basic voice access, not for data services.

      Intel's Classmate: Driving HP and Dell to AMD?
      What operating system does the Classmate use? The Asus Eee uses linux instead of windows. If the Classmate also uses Linux, that's also an interesting break between Intel and Microsoft.

      Off-Target Reporting on TGT Credit-Card Portfolio
      Excellent article -- I'd read the WSJ story and had assumed that this was great news for the other credit card stocks. Your article now clarifies that this isn't the case.
