Today Denver joins the ever-increasing list of cities with only one newspaper: the Rocky Mountain News has published its last issue. But Editor John Temple hopes its readers will take pride in the final edition and its 52-page wraparound section, noting “This is our last shot at this.

Friday, den 27. February 2009
It’s great that Tropicana has switched back to their familiar old logo, but a new book shows that all is not as it seems in the world of packaged orange juice. Alissa Hamilton, author of Squeezed gives us a behind the scenes look at the shockingly complex packaging technology and processing that supports the supposedly “fresh” juice we drink.
The Boston Globe explains:
In the process of pasteurizing, juice is heated and stripped of oxygen, a process called deaeration, so it doesn’t oxidize. Then it’s put in huge storage tanks where… Continue reading That Orange Juice Isn’t as Fresh as You Think

Pop-Up Businesses
Friday, den 27. February 2009
BusinessWeek’s 20 Most Important Inventions of the Next 10 Years will not hold many surprises for readers of PSFK. Although there are plenty of impressive innovations, most of them have been covered heavily in the media, and are being realized now. They are more like innovations of the present rather than “the next 10 years.” In a decade, we should be witnessing stuff that will make these selections look pale in comparison.

The range of shows on offer is still somewhat limited (no ‘The Mentalist’; only clips of shows like… Continue reading Streaming CBS on Your iPhone with TV.com
