Fun Beats Fugly: Why Square Is Still Better Than PayPal
PayPal is basically just porting its utilitarian model for online payments into meatspace. With Register and Card Case, Square strikes me as having rethought shopping for both customer and merchant in a much more fundamental way.
Newton: Is Eric Garcetti mayoral material?
He's a strong contender to be the next mayor of L.A., but his fortunes depend in part on who else runs.
Eric Garcetti is one of the city's more likable public officials. He's smart, dapper, quietly confident, attentive to detail, seasoned enough to be taken seriously by power brokers but boyish enough to tend his Twitter feed. He's quite liberal but also a member of the Navy reserve. He's a good listener. And he's deeply immersed in Los Angeles history, with roots in Italy and Mexico, heir to a significant family name and a three-term member of the City Council, where he spent six years as the council president. So, is he a mayor?

Contraception uproar: It's the '60s all over again
Rick Santorum and other conservatives find fertile ground touting values they believe held sway before an era of social upheaval.
Last fall, before he became a front-runner in the Republican presidential race, Rick Santorum told a conservative Christian blogger in Iowa that he would use the White House bully pulpit to promote his concerns about something most people considered settled: birth control.

Community colleges chief decries budget cuts' toll on students
Some Californians are losing the chance to attend college as state-funded schools reduce course offerings and even freeze admissions, he says.
California community colleges have shed more than 300,000 students since 2009 because the students cannot get into classes, and the toll is likely to grow unless the state reverses course and pumps more money into higher education.

Broadcom Scores Permanent Injunction Against Emulex
The tentative ban Broadcom won against Emulex earlier this month is now permanent. The chipmaker said today that a federal court made permanent an injunction that prevents Emulex from selling controller chips that were found to infringe two Broadcom patents. Emulex's BladeEngine2 and BladeEngine3 Ethernet controllers and Lancer chips are among the affected products. Under the terms of the ruling Emulex can continue to sell those products for another 13 - 15 months to customers who have already ordered them, but it must pay Broadcom a 9 percent royalty.
