Two completely unrelated stories lead our day. First, TechCrunch reports on the new keyboard that LG made for mobile devices. That doesn’t sound interesting until you hear that it rolls up into a stick. If it is as good as it looks, I will be getting one. The Washington Post talks about the trading anomalies this past Monday. Basically, there is the possibility of a software defect in some ETFs that caused a rapid decline and just as quick a recovery. I am sure most of you have never asked about testing an edge case where the Chinese market is crashing and there is a sudden selloff in tech stocks.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
