Hello everyone! A belated Friday email.
* São Paulo passed a law banning all public displays of advertising last year. Business Week investigated how the city was doing with it today. http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/content/jun2007/id20070618_505580.htm Photos of the city without the ads can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonydemarco/sets/72157600075508212/

* Many people have been up in arms about how the iPhone has Blackberry-like features (push email), but is not compatible with Microsoft Outlook. Daring Fireball, one of my favorite bloggers, posted an insightful article on why this is the way it is with some hints on how it can be enabled with a feature already built into Outlook Exchange. http://daringfireball.net/2007/06/exchange_exchange
