Q:
What to do with $1,000 now
When you have an extra thousand bucks burning a hole in your pocket, is "tech toy" the first thing that comes to mind? Don't apologize -- just make sure you get a great deal.

One of the best electronics buys for just under $1,000 right now, according to CNET senior editor Dan Ackerman, is the Sony Bravia KDL-46EX500 at $990.

This 46-inch LCD television hits the sweet spot of price and quality, he says: "You get better black levels, better contrast, and a better brand name than the cheapest $800 LCDs offer -- without going too crazy."

Lessons from the Twitter #fail over NBC Olympics and Guy Adams
(David Saracino - for Capital Business) Here’s the biggest lesson from the latest firestorm on Twitter: Any leaders—even Twitter executives—can get blindsided by social-media backlash.

In case you’ve missed the digital saga du jour, Guy Adams, a journalist for The Independent newspaper in the United Kingdom, tweeted the email address of Gary Zenkel, the NBC executive responsible for the Olympics. Adams, as well as many others in the social-media ether, had been complaining about NBC’s coverage of the games. Twitter suspended Adams’ account for publicly sharing Zenkel’s address.

As it turns out, it was Twitter that reportedly notified NBC of Adams’ violation and encouraged the news organization to file a complaint (Twitter has now confirmed this). Adams’ account has since been “unsuspended,” but not before an overwhelming number of protestors began wielding 140-character pitchforks at Twitter for its actions.

Unlike other silly flaps that capture the Twittersphere’s microscopic attention span, this one is a real wake-up call for leaders. Even executives at one of social media’s giants can miss how their company’s actions might force them into an unwelcome spotlight. Wouldn’t a company that positions itself as a champion of free speech and one of the key players in the world of social media have guessed that suspending the account of a journalist could cause quite a stir?

Yet even Twitter is not immune from the swift and potent force of its own product, which can alter a company’s reputation faster than you can type #fail. From Netflix to Chick-fil-A, we’ve seen that even some of the most beloved companies on earth can become targets of Twitter’s capacity for viral rage.

As countless leadership consultants have instructed, it’s never a bad idea to stop and ask what would happen if your actions ended up on the front page of the New York Times. Maybe now they’ll start telling people to ask themselves what would happen if the Twitterati take an interest, too.

Macaulay Culkin reprises his Home Alone role as a deranged adult

Ever wondered how Home Alone’s dexterous protagonist Kevin McCallister would end up as an adult? The first episode of the new web series :DRYVRS starring Macaulay Culkin, the former child star who played the beloved character in the hit film series, gives a solid indication.

In the 1990 original and in the 1992 sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Culkin’s McCallister is abandoned by his family over Christmas, and left to defend himself against two evil burglars by setting out a slew of creative and deadly booby traps.

The web episode, from Jack Dishel, finds McCallister married and driving an Uber. After picking up passenger (played by Dishel), McCallister recounts the horrific experience of being left home alone a child, and the traumatic effect it’s had on his life. When a man tries to hijack his car, McCallister once again gets crafty.

“I don’t internets, but if I did I would strongly consider watching :DRYVRS,” Culkin said in a statement about the show.

Upcoming episodes will chronicle further strange Uber encounters between Dishel and his gonzo drivers, played by “numerous special guest stars.”

The episode comes just a month after the 25th anniversary of the original release of Home Alone. For Culkin, it marks his first appearance since playing himself on TV Land’s The Jim Gaffigan Show.
