The rise of Andrew Ross Sorkin at the New York Times.

2) Here's a UK list of the best films of the decade. The number one spot went to Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke and his 2005 film Hidden (Cache). The number two spot went to The Bourne Supremacy/The Bourne Ultimatum both directed by Paul Greengrass. I was surprised to see Wes Andersen's The Royal Tenenbaums at number 88. More here.
