Accounting is not my cup of tea, but articles written by such a rich man don't come everyday.

You'll find here what Warren Buffett is saying about stock options, compensation, expenses and company earnings. Considering he's worth more than 20 billion dollars, I suppose his opinion deserves some attention.

Corporate Angst

This is a great -- and long -- story about an IT organization which became very dysfunctional: managing partners, vice-presidents, CIO, employees, all of them were involved in a "virtual nervous breakdown."

So this company invited a shrink. I'm sorry, an "organizational psychologist." Two years later, the IT team is delivering more with less money and less people.

Le site Internet du Monde propose une édition payante

If you're fluent in french, you can get some additional services from Le Monde. For a Desk updated several times a day and some image libraries often refreshed, it will cost you 5 euros per month.

Le Monde is taking an unusual route. The online version of the Wall Street Journal has been asking for a yearly payment almost from the start. Many other newspapers, including the New York Times or Le Monde itself, have been free except for access to their archives.

This time, Le Monde is betting on a new product -- and you cannot even get a free trial. I'm not sure if it will work fine for them.
