How to insert graphics that are reasonably manageable

"I sat down a few weeks ago to figure out the best way to anchor pictures. Specifically, how to do it in a standard context like this. You have a paragraph or line of text describing something, and you might then say "....as shown in the following illustration." Then you have a picture on a line by itself. No wrapping or anything, very simple"

Motley Fool Writes Off Microsoft

Microsoft: "I don't mean this in a schoolboy taunt sort of way. I'm just telling you it's not a winner. Why else would it have spent billions in the past year acquiring companies to beef up its presence in virtualization, cloud computing, and Internet search?"

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/01/25/1458251&from=rss

http://www.fool.com/investing/value/2008/01/23/microsoft-bear-argument.aspx

"Microsoft isn't going away, but it will gradually lose its relevancy. Could be why Bill Gates is leaving this year, dedicating his time to giving away the money he made instead of sticking around, giving away the reputation he built.

Smart guy. Even he knows that if Microsoft isn't a winner, it becomes a loser by default."

Online Generators

"One can discuss whether web-generators are useful or not. On the one hand, they don’t challenge our creativity, but on the other hand they make our life easier and save our precious time. However, it doesn’t matter really. What matters is that we use them if we have to solve some problem quickly and efficiently."

Online Converters

"Online converters always come in handy. Once you need to perform some operation with your files, they can save your time achieving the same results online, without installing some specific software. In fact, there are many online tools, which convert formats, files and code snippets for free. Some of them are quite specific tools aimed for developers, but some are common “all-rounders”, which manage to convert almost every format to a more popular one. Using them, you can generate .pdf-documents out of images, images out of texts or RSS-feeds out of web-sites. You can also convert any audio- and video-files immediately - the results can be received via e-mail."

Alchemist Author Pirates His Own Books

"Paulo Coelho, the best-selling author of “The Alchemist”, is using BitTorrent and other filesharing networks as a way to promote his books. His publishers weren’t too keen on giving away free copies of his books, so he’s taken matters into his own hands."

http://torrentfreak.com/alchemist-author-pirates-own-books-080124/

"Coelho’s view is that letting people swap digital copies of his books for free increases sales. In a keynote speech (embedded below) at the Digital, Life, Design conference in Munich he talked about how uploading the Russian translation of “The Alchemist” made his sales in Russia go from around 1,000 per year to 100,000, then a million and more."
