iTunes vs. Google Music vs. Amazon Cloud
This is a fairly balanced view of the different services. I don’t trust Amazon after they disabled and deleted content off the device. Just one time of being disrespected is enough.

How can I merge two iTunes libraries?
It was brought up in this article at TUAW and I responded with my ideas below.
I don’t believe TuneRanger would be a good purchase based on the reviews at several websites like Amazon and Cnet.
9 reviews at Amazon gave it 2 stars (low rating) with the majority giving it 1 star. You can read more here:

If you want to do this your best case is to make a case at Apple for it. If you have Applecare then you can legitimately ask how you can accomplish this. If I were to do this I wouldn’t expect to be able to save all the data. I would expect at the very least that 3rd party software would miss things like smart playlists, and metadata.
Try SyncoTunes. It has pretty good reviews.

How to Self-Publish Your E-Book to Kindle
How to Self-Publish Your E-Book to Kindle. Very cool with step by step instructions. Including the price of an ISBN number and software, it might cost you $150 to publish your book to Kindle and Apple iBookstore. What an incredible opportunity.
Book Review: Dispatches from Blogistan: A travel guide for the modern blogger 9780321395559: Suzanne Stefanac: Books
Amazon.com: Dispatches from Blogistan: A travel guide for the modern blogger 9780321395559: Suzanne Stefanac: Books. I agree with the commentaries. This book is about the social and cultural facts of being a blogger. Those things don’t go out of style. In addition she has a ton of useful references/URL’s for more information. This book was a pleasure to read. Even though it was 192 pages it was a great balance of information that the beginning blogger should know. Many beginners books seem out of context and bare, but this gave you a good overview and idea of what blogging will mean for those interested in it. This is a must read for the blossoming blogger.

Book Review: Customer Reviews: False Economy: A Surprising Economic History of the World
One of the Amazon reviews says it perfectly.
The real suprise with this book is that is was published. The book has no coherent theme or direction. Conclusions are drawn hastily without developing a supporting narrative. Poorly written, and without any factual references. A much better book on a similar theme is The Wealth and Poverty of Nations: Why Some Are So Rich and Some So Poor by David S. Landes.
I agree. Lots of random facts and no real purpose.

The Change Game: How Todays Global Trends are Shaping Tomorrows Companies: Amazon.co.uk: Peter Lawrence: Books. I don’t think this book said anything new that hasn’t’ been said before. Disappointing.
