The Apple iPad, explained to geeks →
via SeattlePI
I predict that in this decade, we’ll see a split in computing, on the same scale as the microcomputer/mainframe schism of the 1970s.
On the one hand, we will have the smartphones and iPad-esque tablets, aimed at the average consumer. … They will be geared for what a consumer does: consume.
On the other hand, we’ll have a more traditional PC. It will be geared...

Hipster Runoff: What is the Lasting Brand of... →
via Hipster Runoff
I usually remember books by their cover, because that is often a good way to judge if the content/brand will appeal to you. We must judge books by their covers in the modern world because of the rapid production output of the information economy.
[Catcher in the Rye] reminds me of ‘a book that some bro would list in their fave books section of their Facebook profile.’ I don’t...

h.o.l.y. f.u.c.k.
It’s not that most of these recommendations are not “sound advice,” it’s the megalomaniac dictum that is truly scary.

This little gem of a post turned up on ParkSlopeParents a few days ago.
via FuckedInParkSlope
Why I don’t think I belong here in Park Slope… I think fur is fabulous (please don’t yell at me this isn’t about PETA). And I believe that being fabulous is FUN. …reason number two I don’t belong here is that it’s 25 degrees. Umm, that’s just not okay for...

MTA to Offer Access to Transit Data →
ianwestcott via TheCivicHacker:
“Just five months ago, developers were being threatened with legal action by the MTA, the only way to get any raw schedule data was to submit a formal FOIL request (and get a CD weeks later with data in an undocumented and cryptic format), and there was no good avenue for developers to positively engage with the agency. Contrast that with the situation today: The...

“I don’t want to go into politics now,” said Tracy Russo, junior class president at Olympic Heights High. “Clinton has made me see that the American public has gone way too far into sensationalism.”
Vintage me. Quoted in “EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS?; POLITICS CAN MEAN END OF PRIVACY” article in the South Florida Sun Sentinel. So much changes, so much stays the same.

Even Amazon can't keep its EULA story straight →
via BoingBoing
Amazon trumpets that its “customers purchased more Kindle books than physical books.” Purchased, not “licensed.”
I love my Kindle, but I’m not in love with it[’s DRM].

Physical Theories as Women →
(via @sfoak via Simon Dedeo)
0. Newtonian gravity is your high-school girlfriend. As your first encounter with physics, she’s amazing. You will never forget Newtonian gravity, even if you’re not in touch very much anymore.
Bonus points for lists that start at zero.
