July 28, 2010

So much going on today including a kinda weird paparazzi-esque look at Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg over at Gawker, federal rulings on controversial laws(admittedly not Internet marketing related but of great interest in general) and evidence that Android devices do make a difference to wireless providers.
