Going nowhere fast. →
Todd and Victoria Buchholz, in an opinion piece for The New York Times about a generation of Americans petrified of uncertainty and unequipped to mitigate ambiguity: The stuck-at-home mentality hits college-educated Americans as well as those without high school degrees.

No ice cream, no sandwich.
Imagine the iPad 3 was shipping next week….with iOS 3.2. That’s Android.— Fraser Speirs (@fraserspeirs) March 5, 2012 I’ve written about this before. My colleague at The Verge, Vlad Savov, just wrote a thoughtful editorial.

A hurdy-gurdy and a memory →
Leon Wieseltier, literary editor of The New Republic: Many books are read but some books are lived, so that words and ideas lose their ethereality and become experiences, turning points in an insufficiently clarified existence, and thereby acquire the almost mystical (but also fallible) intimacy of memory. In this sense one’s books are one’s biography. This subjective urgency bears no...

Brainstorming should be stormy. →
Jonah Lehrer, writing for the New Yorker: One fanatical believer in the power of space to enhance the work of groups was Steve Jobs. Walter Isaacson’s recent biography of Jobs records that when Jobs was planning Pixar’s headquarters, in 1999, he had the building arranged around a central atrium, so that Pixar’s diverse staff of artists, writers, and computer scientists would run into each...
