Popular technology blog ReadWriteWeb has been acquired by SAY Media. AdWeek broke the news – see Techmeme – but turns out that they may have broken the embargo. Richard MacManus wasn’t too pleased and tweeted:

AdWeek writer Anthony Ha responded saying that the story was accidentaly published:

To which Richart replied:

The terms of the deal weren’t disclosed but PaidContent founder Rafat Ali suggests that the tech blog could been sold for “some single digit million.”

TechCrunch says that ReadWriteWeb could have been acquired for around $5 million. To put those numbers in context, AOL earlier acquired TechCrunch blog for around $30 million.

ReadWriteWeb gets around 2.8 million uniques per month worldwide according to Google’s Ad Planner but again, these third-party estimates may not be accurate.

If you are planning to buy an HDTV, you’ll have to choose between HD (or 720p) and Full HD (or 1080p) TV.

You might assume that 1080p HDTV sets would offer better resolution / picture detail than 720p sets but it would actually depend on the vieweing distance or how far is the the couch from the television screen. The Economist explains:

TV viewers are not enjoying the full benefits of the higher pixel count of 1080p televisions if they sit any further back than 1.8 times the screen width. At a distance of 2.7 times the screen width, they might as well buy a cheaper 720p set, as the eye cannot resolve the finer detail of a 1080p screen at that distance.

I found an old mechanical keyboard and that reminded me of this tutorial. I couldn’t find clover seeds anywhere but the wheat did the job.
