Wednesday Linkfest! – iProd Edition

It’s been a while since I’ve done a link roundup, but given the ramping traffic on this blog, I definitely need to send some love back out into the world:

1) Russian Submarines Patrolling East Coast of US – I live in NYC so this weirds me out just a little bit. Are we going back to the Cold War? You remember those days – when 34% of movie bad guys were Russian (the remaining 66% were ninjas or gibberish-speaking Eastern Europeans) and we needed Rocky to montage the USSR into submission.

2) Adam Warner’s Daily Options Report discusses Goldman Sachs’ (GS) letter to clients regarding its electronic trading practices. The Goldman hate is getting a bit out of control so I doubt this letter will calm the growing number of conspiracy theories out there regarding Goldman’s hold on the world. Speaking of which, I can’t find the new PC mouse I just bought. Could Goldman be behind this theft?

3) The US Marine Corps. banned social networking applications including Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook from its networks, effective immediately. The only question I have to ask is: Are they more afraid of information coming in or going out?

4) Wall Street Greek provides a comprehensive recap of today’s earnings reports, including Proctor & Gamble (PG), and economic numbers.

5) CrunchGear has me asking myself: WTF is an Apple (AAPL) iProd?

That’s all for today – I’ll try to do these more often. Thank you for reading!
