**** iTunes 10: About The Vertically Aligned Window Controls <http://www.betalogue.com/2010/09/04/itunes10-controls/>
Pierre Igot, Betalogue

While iTunes is indeed not a document-based application, it is possible to have multiple windows open in iTunes. Just double-click on any playlist or even the iTunes Store in the source list on the left of the main window.

This will open what you double-clicked on in a separate window and, guess what, that window has a title bar, which makes the vertical window controls look even sillier and uglier, because they are not even tucked in the corner of the window any more.

**** The End Of Tenure? <http://feeds.nytimes.com/click.phdo?i=6d584c5f45c548da19fe134b6a6f557a>
Christopher Shea, New York Times

In tough economic times, it’s easy to gin up anger against elites. The bashing of bankers is already so robust that the economist William Easterly has compared it, with perhaps a touch of hyperbole, to genocidal racism. But in recent months, a more unlikely privileged group has found itself in the cross hairs: tenured ­professors.

Hau Boon Lai, The Star

So when Lee tells Plate that he had talked three ministers out of quitting the Cabinet within six months of Goh Chok Tong taking over as Singapore’s second Prime Minister in 1990, there was no follow-up on who those ministers were and why this account differed from the conventional wisdom that Goh was popularly chosen by his colleagues to lead them.

**** Facebook Generation Turns To Politics In Singapore <http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/infotech/view/20100905-290617/Facebook-generation-turns-to-politics-in-Singapore>

All political parties in Singapore are reporting increased youth involvement as the country prepares for its next general elections, which are only due by February 2012 but are widely expected to be held much earlier.

Despite getting into occasional trouble with media censors and police, young Singaporeans have indeed become more critical of the PAP on social networking sites, blogs, and websites like theonlinecitizen.com and temasekreview.com.

Andrew Loh, The Online Citizen

There are many things SM Goh could do and many questions he could ask of his government, if he were truly concerned about the needy.

But will he?
