Welcome to Conference 2.0
News – We've all been there: the dull business conference. A half-empty room of half-asleep attendees answer their e-mail on laptops and BlackBerries, while some hapless speaker lumbers through a PowerPoint speech. That scenario is about to change, thanks to the growing ubiquity of social media.

When Movies Don't Live Up to the Trailer
Movies – On the way home, what we discussed wasn't the plot or the shaky grasp of history. It was all the good stuff we'd seen in the trailers (the ads) that weren't even *in* the movie.

Mourning TV
Television – "Change always provokes fear, but I'd once believed that the death of our beloved television would unify all those affected, talent and studios, creators and suits. We're all afraid and we'd all be afraid together. Instead we find ourselves so deeply divided."

Beethoven Goes Digital
Music – Classical music hardly seems like a growth business. We're forever reading about how concert audiences are graying, and new artists must flounce around fiddling in tank tops and platform heels to get attention. In fact, classical music is doing a lot better than you might think.

Getting a lesson in retail inside world's busiest Costco
News – The Iwilei Costco - the largest among the company's three Oahu locations - posted $300 million in sales last year. Iwilei is so busy, in fact, that it turns its entire inventory every two-and-a-half to three weeks... a logistical wonder considering most everything comes in by water.

Downside to Xobni, Meebo and Squidoo
Gadgets & Tech – Even if you could say Abazab or Eefoof without snickering, would you want to do business with them? Would you feel OK owning Wakoopa shares in your 401(k)? Telling potential in-laws you met on Frengo? Relying on Ooma to call Grandma?

Television – Fox's quickly canceled drama "Drive" has inadvertently made TV academy history on Thursday, becoming the first-ever Primetime Emmy broadband nominee.

My Time as a Hostage, and I'm a Business Reporter
Do No Evil – Thus began our interrogation, which was followed by hours of negotiations, the partial closing of the factory complex and the arrival of several police cars, a handful of helmet-wearing security officers and some government officials, all trying to free an American journalist and his colleagues from a toy factory.

A Long Line for a Shorter Wait at the Supermarket
Shopping – For its first stores here, Whole Foods, the gourmet supermarket, directs customers to form serpentine single lines that feed into a passel of cash registers. Because people stand in the same line, waiting for a register to become available, there are no "slow" lines, delayed by a coupon-counting customer or languid cashier.

Gadgets & Tech – I love MetaFilter (and Ask MetaFilter), and I love that I can now get it in my ears. This is the podcast feed for your podcatcher. There's also a podcast page (http://po... at MeFi but it's curiously lacking a prominent RSS link.
