Worth reminding ourselves too that the Commission only recommended Councillors elected at large to balance the parochial influence of the six large Councils - which would have been required to implement strong community engagement in the absence of Communty Boards.
With Hide substituting weakened Local Boards, there's no justification for at-large Councillors other than wanting more decisive power concentrated at the top. It's not as if the existing councils tend to splinter down ward-based lines on decisions - party lines dominate in most. And those are the groupings strengthened by at-large elections.

The Independent reckons Apple might buy Twitter - if they ever decide to sell.
Why would Apple want Twitter? Because, I suspect, locking Twitter into their iTunes store and iPhone network would provide valuable individual brands like @oprah and @aplusk with a very effective marketing and sales platform to distribute their products.
The Twitter-Apple cat then would be truly amongst the old media pigeons. Merging the revolutionary Twitter into insurrectionary Apple would be one more nail - perhaps the final nail - in the coffin of traditional record labels, publishers and television and movie networks.
