Apt’s links for September 5th

• NewsWare Apps | Spectra| msnbc.com – “Spectra merges the news spectrum and the color spectrum into an expansive news viewing experience.”
• Steve Duenes — Talk to the Newsroom — The New York Times — Reader Questions and Answers – New York Times –
• Words They Used – 2008 Political Conventions – Interactive Graphic – NYTimes.com – “The words that speakers used at the two political conventions show the themes that the parties have highlighted. Republican speakers have talked about reform and character far more frequently than the Democrats. And Republicans were more likely to talk about businesses and taxes, while Democrats were more likely to mention jobs or the economy.” Mmmm. Nice info graphics.
• Instapaper Blog – My #1 favourite iPhone App by far. I used to love the website. Then this came out. Simple, elegant, useful – awesome. Buy.
• Books: Slow start in the shops for Caxton’s latest competitor | Books | The Guardian – “If yesterday marked the beginning of the end for the printed book, it looked like a slow death. An hour after the Sony Reader, the latest generation of electronic reading devices to hit the UK, went on sale, the country’s biggest bookshop had shifted precisely two.” Mean. Pessimistic. Come on Guardian, haters-all, rally round…
• Capsule Review: Sony reader | PDA: The Digital Content Blog | guardian.co.uk – Jemima Kiss reviews the Sony Reader.
• ?C ?V ? – Thank you very much. That will do nicely. One day.
• CR Blog » Blog Archive » CR Blog hosts new Cinematic Orchestra film – Beautifully shot promo for two Cinematic Orchestra songs (both of which are rather good). Adds a dimension of grief to the songs that I hadn’t thought of before – I’m just not sure about the ending…
