Clive says:
Chris Allbritton was the first truly blog-created journalist -- a
former Associated Press guy who raised $13,000 in donations from the
audience of his blog Back To
Iraq, to pay for a reporting trip to Iraq during the war. With no
editors to please, he was able to cover whatever stories he and his
audience wanted. Now his readers have asked him to do another trip --
so he's started another fundraising drive. If you want to support
truly independent war reporting, drop by his site and throw some
change in his Paypal jar.

How to Apologize
How to Apologize
01/02/2004 06:00 AMThis LiveJournal post explaining how to apologize is a fine read, and
particularily nice to start the year with. I did my share of
apology-worth things in 2003, and I expect there will be any number
deeds in 2004: if I can hew to these guidelines when saying sorry,
I'll be a better person for it.
Be Specific and Don't Exaggerate: Avoid hyperbole, exaggeration,
self-pity, and vagueness. Instead, try to focus on a realistic and
specific approximation of what you actually did wrong. Exaggerations
and vague generalizations put the other person in the position of
defending you instead of accepting an apology, which isn't fair to
them. It's a way of (consciously or unconsciously) weaseling out of
actually taking responsibility for your actions. For example:
* I'm sorry I was such a pain in the ass. (self-pitying
exaggeration)
* I'm sorry I yelled at you. (better)
* I'm sorry I ruined our whole day. (vague exaggeration)
* I'm sorry I lost my temper in front of your friends. (better)
* I'm sorry. I just suck at this stuff. (vague self-pity)
* I'm sorry I wasn't communicating with you very well about how I
was feeling. (better)
* I'm sorry I can't do anything right. (self-pitying, vague
exaggeration)
* I'm sorry I ruined your shirt by drying it on "Hot". (better)
These kinds of pseudo-apologies often work to inspire in a caring
person the desire to comfort you, to say that it's really not all that
bad, etc. Miraculously, you are relieved from actually have to talk
about what you did do, because you've redirected the conversation
toward things you didn't do. Sneaky. Manipulative.

Why can't governments apologize?
05/27/2004 10:57 PMWhy is it that governments have so much trouble admitting that
they've made mistakes? Let's take the U.S. government, for
example. Right now we have troops deployed in Afghanistan and
Iraq. We don't seem to be achieving our goals or be welcome in
either place. Why can't we apologize sincerely and go home?
In Afghanistan the U.S. spent a huge amount of effort trying to
thwart Soviet control in the late 1970s. Jimmy Carter sent all
kinds of money and weapons to the Islamic rebels so that they could
kill Russian kids in uniform. In retrospect this seems like a
bad mistake. If the Afghanistan had been a Russian possession
there would never have been a Taliban and perhaps never an Osama
bin-Laden or September 11th. Could we offer a sincere apology
today to the Russians and offer Afghanistan back to them?
Saddam Hussein seems to be alive and well. The Iraqi
people don't like us, if newspaper articles and armed resistance
are to be believed. Why not say to Saddam "We were wrong
about your weapons programs and we're sorry for invading and here's
your country back?" Our troops could get on planes in Baghdad
and wave goodbye to a restored Saddam. (We might want to split
off an area in the north and give it to the Kurds since we made them
some promises back in the early 1990s and it would be good to keep
them.)
Governments do this with wrongly convicted criminals. We say
"Sorry for your 15 years in jail. We didn't have DNA testing
back then. Enjoy the rest of your life." Why not do this
in foreign policy instead of trying to come up with contorted
ex-post-facto justifications?

demagoging based on a seed of truth: I do want to understand our

people you're fighting) and I do want a nuanced, well-thought-out
response that will actually make my children safer, rather than the

How does Disney inspire customers to

06/24/2005 07:08 PMI’ve always been fascinated by Disney Corporation and its
ability to continually tap into the emotional attachment that its
customers have with the Disney products and brand. In a lot of ways, I
think Disney is the most powerful and valuable brand in the industry,
because the passion stoked by Disney does something wholly remarkable:
it turns customers into fans and some into apologists. I know because

PC Makers Snub Windows Sans Media Player
06/17/2005 03:18 PM Four major PC makers have no plans to sell the media-player-free
version of Windows, which Microsoft was ordered to offer by Europe's
competition commissioner.
Microsoft will make an updated version of
Window XP N available
on Wednesday, but none of the computer manufacturers that ZDNet UK
spoke to are considering preinstalling it on desktops or laptops.
Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo and Fujitsu Siemens all said they have
no firm plans to install Windows XP N, citing a lack of customer
demand. A Dell representative added Tuesday that customers expect to
have a media player included.
"Dell will continue to offer European customers Microsoft's
Windows operating systems including the Windows Media Player utility
on Dimension desktops and Inspiron notebooks," the representative
said. "Customers purchase computers expecting them to come
equipped with the capability of playing back digital media files, and
it's our obligation to meet this need. (Windows XP N will) not (be
offered) at this time. We'll monitor the market to see if XP N is in
high demand."
