Rielle Hunter caught on Robert Scoble's camera
Robert Scoble did in fact capture some footage of John Edwards's mistress, Rielle Hunter, back in 2006 when flying with the campaign's blogger party plane. The problem: All of the tapes are property of PodTech, the videoblogger's former employer, so all he can release are the still images, like this one of Hunter seated with Edwards. More »

Did the New York Times Joker-ize Digg CEO Jay Adelson?
Saul Hansell quoted Digg CEO Jay Adelson defending the Associated Press (of which Hansell's publication the Times is a member). TechCrunch's Michael Arrington freaked out, natch. Adelson then attempted to further explain his complicated position, trying to be diplomatic. Yawn. As we've said before, and will say again, exercise your fair use rights under the law and shut up, because giving the AP attention just feeds its argument and therefore reinforces its position.

Michael Arrington drops the banhammer on the Associated Press
A couple of bloggers have gotten their panties in a bunch because the Associated Press, a coop that offers original reporting to its 1,500 member newspapers and syndicates to other outlets, is asking that they go a little easier on the copy-paste. TechCrunch's Michael Arrington is having none of it! More »

Greatest wire story ever shows AP embracing Web 2.0 technology, humor
WASHINGTON (AP) - Get real, people. That is not a naked woman reflected in Vice President Dick Cheney's sunglasses. Although it kind of appears to be. It you blow up the picture, you can see it is Cheney's hand gripping the handle of a fishing rod.
So much for putting "who, what, when and where" in the first line, eh AP? I like that they use a TinyURL link at the bottom too. [AP] -

AP commits first mainstream media screwup at Web 2.0
An informant reports that high-energy Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's early morning razzle-dazzle outpaced one reporter:They [the Associated Press] ran the story on Ballmer this morning, got the facts all turned around. Did you hear his talk? He used an the analogy of MS Search being a 3 yo basically playing basketball with the big kids, the 12 year olds. Great analogy, really worked for him and got big laughs. Rachel Konrad printed it the other way around and ran a photo that made Ballmer look like a cackling demon. OUCH. MS people were fried and demanded a "reprint". Worst part was she demanded video to prove her wrong.
Also missed by the AP's now-corrected report: Ballmer's Starbucks beverage was a grande iced tea, the last third of which seemed to have gone warm in his sizeable right hand. He uses the long green Starbucks straw, not the short black one. Details, people, details! (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)
