Side note: I didn’t get a chance to enter in this week’s CotC nor have I been writing much this week. I have a sick 2-year-old right now, and the world pretty much stops for her.
This week’s Carnival of the Capitalists for January 29, 2008 is up at Bizosphere. This week’s host is cehwiedel from One Man Band. Of note in this week’s CotC:

Top Experts Dish with their Best Kept Marketing Secrets
The article some great insider tricks from 25 top marketing experts. As a bonus, you can also read and share your own secrets in the comments.

(I actually saw this piece the first time on Guy Kawasaki’s twitter feed, before seeing it here.)
Worms in my Apple
I shared a lot of the author’s thoughts while I was listening to Steve Jobs’ keynote speech this year. As a long-time Apple user (I’m writing this on my MacBook right now), I have often thought "HUH?!?" when hearing some of the things Apple has announced. I mean, come on, Apple TV? I’m still upset that Apple blocked the development of instant-view movies by us Mac-based Netflix subscribers to pave the way for their own movie download service. I curse Steve Jobs every time I see the error message telling me to visit from a Windows machine in the Netflix instant viewing section.
