Interesting news roundup

1. Mobile operator Orange is paying actors to stand in line in Poland to drum up interest for that country's iPhone launch. Link.

2. Andres Martinez, who resigned from the Los Angeles Times after it was disclosed that he hired his girlfriend's employer to guest edit the LA Times Sunday Magazine, has filed a lawsuit against the now former girlfriend for...I guess tricking him into abandoning his ethics. Details here and here.

3. Thomas Barnett says that it's silly to get too worked up over Russia's invasion of Georgia. If you believe in globalization of democratic capitalism, Russia is our partner in that effort, and its actions, however unpleasant, are an advancement of that mission. Link.

4. Hamlet 2, which I've previously mentioned, is good!
