5 O’Clock Roundup: TiVo gets $200 judgement, Amazon restores 1984, Tim O’Reilly preaches government as a platform

Summary

VentureBeat launches 5 O’Clock Roundup — Roundup, our end-of-workday mix of high-level business stories and interesting-to-laypeople tech items that we didn’t post about but think you should know about, has been renamed 5 O’Clock Roundup.

5 O’Clock Roundup will post every weekday at 5:00 pm Pacific time. It will almost always be written by me, with contributions from our readers and from the rest of the VentureBeat team. PR people, you’re welcome to pitch me at paul@venturebeat.com.

I’m played around with the format for a few weeks. We all like the current style in terms of post length, item length, mix of topics, and mid-sized images. Sometimes I’ll run with a theme that amuses me, but I mostly prefer to mix things up. Your contributions — again, paul@venturebeat.com – will be welcome, and I’m happy to link back to you if you give me a URL. If I don’t reply, it means I read your message but then my iPhone rang. Sorry about that. It happens way too often.

Yours,

Paul
