Justin Bieber Clone

As if one wasn't enough, Celebuzz has this: The new year of 2011 officially has its first viral star, and it's 17-year-old Jamie Laou.

The 17-year-old Australian teenager has won over hundreds of thousands of YouTube viewers thanks largely to his nearly mirror-image resemblance to Justin Bieber. Tapping into Bieber's fanbase, Laou has even taken over Twitter and caused Bieber himself to throw a few words his way.

Celebuzz chatted exclusively with Laou via email to get his take on his newfound web stardom, what he plans to do with it, and what he thinks of Bieber's alleged romance with Selena Gomez. Also, he weighs in on why people should leave Justin alone, and what he'd say to Baby Biebs if he ever bumps into him.

Free Download of Guy Kawasaki's The Macintosh Way

Guy Kawasaki sent over this announcement on Wednesday: A long time ago (1987 exactly), I published my first book, The Macintosh Way. I wrote it because I was bursting with idealistic and pure notions about how a company can change the world, and I wanted to spread the gospel. Here's what a reader said about it:

It is hard to believe this book is now over 20 years old. Guy Kawasaki does a marvelous job of conveying key traits of effective "Macintosh Way" companies and managers. The key, really, is to do the right thing, the right way. Seems common sense enough, but even 20 years later, it appears as elusive as ever. (Edward J. Barton)

I recently re-acquired the rights for this book, and I'm making it freely available from the fan page of my upcoming book, Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions. more on this story
