NEW YORK CITY — "Have him call Peter when he gets here and we'll show him the data."

With that message emailed to my editor, I was cast out on the rainy streets of New York in search of Airbnb's long-awaited treasure trove of data shedding light on the usage habits, financial impact and maybe, just maybe, the legality of its thousands of apartment listings throughout the five boroughs

Airbnb agreed to release The Data, as it will henceforth be known, on Tuesday after a pledge last month to work "collaboratively" rather than combatively with cities (forget about that whole "army" thing) by paying its fair share of taxes and disclosing more information about its customers to help policymakers Read more...

Sunday's season opener began not in the aftermath of last season's brutal finale, but with a zombie battle unlike we've ever seen. This was clearly a fairly significant jump in time from where we left the group in the Season 5 ender — Rick's face was no longer a collection of tiny bandaids and there were a few new faces among them — but exactly how much time had passed was not clear Read more...
