Should be interesting as Google starts rolling out support for this (as well as other wacky preloading features in Chrome).

Useful side effect.

It's like Instagram for real!

Those NSF and DARPA numbers are depressingly small.

Not sure how I feel about the ending. I guess there's implied forgiveness?

Amusing to see early Jim Henson work in this internal training video.

I think Cook believes, but maybe they could do more.

Interesting and varied thoughts from Chinese citizens, although they mostly think the government enables the conditions.

It's hard to say how much Apple is responsible for vs. Chinese standards that would just be used by another company.

I think this story could have done more to emphasize the growing information economy in the US, but I'll grant that that leaves a lot of people screwed due to their education.

Great argument for equal protection.

Interesting. I think the key point is this: "I suppose what I really want is some sort of "free range" sticker slapped on my music consumption, so that I know the artist was ethically treated in this transaction." Artist compensation is hard, and we really have no idea as consumers if that goal is being achieved by our purchase/subscription/eyeballs.

Great to see that he's accepted himself and making a good conservative argument for marriage equality.

It's weird to me what people take seriously on April 1st.

von Braun's designs were pretty influential

Pretty cool job, although I'd rather work on space Lego.

Good questions, I thought. They seem to have reconciled. Not really anything on iBooks though.

Second-best quarter of any company ever. I wonder though if you adjust for inflation?

An amusing take on unrealistic fantasy novel cover art.

In case there was any doubt that the Address is mostly pablum, repeated every year.

The stupid abounds.

I love that it's basically in Swedish Chef.

More observations on how he never thought TNG would get off the ground.

The one CES rep said it right - it's "old-school". It sounded like PAX might be a leader in this area, since they have a very vocal and young community.

I just don't get how we can get back to long-term thinking when the short-term incentives are so large. Not surprised to see Apple held up as a good example.

Some great lines in this one, but the headline/photo combo is amazing.

Pretty cool motion capture project.

Gorgeous. I would love to go back some time.

A good comparison of how the Web has disrupted moviemaking.

The best part is that probably none of the new ones we just heard announced at CES will matter next year, either.
