It is hard to explain humor. You either get a joke, or you do not. Apple, it seems, does not.
(…)
Lighten up on your heavy-handed rules, Apple. And just lighten up in general.

Le persone di affascinante complessità difficilmente mettono i cartelli per avvisare. A volte soffrono della propria affascinante complessità, che non di rado è patologica e difficilmente lascia margine per la costruzione di rapporti duraturi. Quelli che ti dicono “Non sono una persona facile” vanno presi più o meno alla lettera. Sono degli stronzi, più raramente degli stronzi con famiglia a carico, ma fondamentalmente gente con cui è difficile (se non impossibile) gestire un rapporto. E uno dei grandi miti della femminilità è proprio quello dell’amore tormentato strappamutande, quello che non diventa abitudine perché lui ti fa soffrire, non c’è, si nega, poi improvvisamente torna e sembra che esista solo tu, ma poi ri-sparisce, e così via ad libitum. Per carità, può piacere, ma poi non venite a lamentarvi che lui vi fa soffrire, si nega eccetera. Aveva avvisato.

Apple has stormed out of the biggest lobby group in the United States. At issue is the US Chamber of Commerce’s use of funds to oppose climate change legislation. Apple has done the right thing, and IBM and Microsoft should think different too.

Sam Palmisano should be speaking up for a strong deal in Copenhagen. IBM is top of our leaderboard but isn’t using its clout with governments for international climate action.

I’ve learned not to respond to quotes by Steve Ballmer.

In five or ten years, what will the primary news reader look like?

Well, that person will be probably on a tablet or a mobile phone, probably the majority of the reading will presumably be online not offline, just because of the scale of it. It’ll be highly personalized, right? So you’ll know who the person is. There’ll be a lot of integration of media — so video, voice, what have you. It’ll be advertising-supported and subscription-supported, so you’ll probably have a mixture. Think of the Kindle as an example. The Kindle is a proto of what this thing could look like. People will carry these things around.

So if you start thinking about that, it becomes pretty obvious what the products need to be: more personalized, much deeper, capable of deeper navigation into a subject. Also, show me the differential. Since you know what you told me yesterday, just tell me what changed today. Don’t repeat everything.

It’s the best super-smart phone Verizon offers, the best Motorola phone I’ve tested and the best hardware so far to run Android.

Mars is weird. It’s small, and cold, and has a thin atmosphere that’s almost entirely carbon dioxide, and what isn’t CO2 is nitrogen and, bizarrely, argon.
So you expect to see weird landscapes. But even so, Mars has the potential to be really, really weird.
