McSweeney's Internet Tendency: It's Weird to Think That One Day I'll Photoshop You Out of These Very Vacation Photos.

by karlcow

But one thing I've learned through my years of dating is that just because I'll want to erase you from my memory, I don't have to erase all these great travel experiences. Will I want to forget hiking up that volcano the other day? Of course not. I'll just want to forget that you were hiking with me − and thanks to the magic of Photoshop, I can.

Socio-Technical Assemblages « Service Design Research

by karlcow

There’s a strong tendency to see services as ‘things’: we often hear that services are ‘more complex’ than products. All kinds of means to grasp the complexity of an airline or a hospital can be applied – cybernetics, actor-network theory, etc. But the interaction between a prostitute and his or her john or jane is complex in a way I don’t think these approaches capture.

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: True Enough: Learning to Live in a Post-Fact Society

by night.kame

Stephen Colbert isn't really a right-wing nutcase; he just plays one on TV. We can be reasonably sure that when he promoted the term 'truthiness' to denote a claim that feels right, even if there is no factual evidence to support it, he was making fun of certain right-wingers whose fact-checking is mostly internal; who will accept as true a story that fits with their worldview, regardless of the facts. Of course this is a universal human tendency, to which left-wingers are not immune, but Manjoo cites scientific studies that indicate that right-wingers are more susceptible to it (see below).

Raging Menace - MenuMeters

by sbrothier & 1 other
MenuMeters is a set of CPU, memory, disk, and network monitoring tools for Mac OS X. Although there are numerous other programs which do the same thing, none had quite the feature set I was looking for. Most were windows that sat in a corner or on the desktop, which are inevitably obscured by document windows on a PowerBook's small screen. Those monitors which used the menubar mostly used the NSStatusItem API, which has the annoying tendency to totally reorder my menubar on every login.

McSweeney's Internet Tendency: One Thousand Monkeys Rise Up.

by karlcow
We are all too familiar with this line of thinking: 2,000 monkeys could do the job in 500 years, 4,000 monkeys in 250 years, etc. We have some rudimentary business knowledge, so we can understand how enticing this must sound. It doesn't work that way. A million monkeys won't pop out King Lear in an hour. Stop being so linear. We cannot allow you to neglect your core staff for pie-in-the-sky initiatives like these. You will only spread our resources thinner.

Only a Game: The Rituals of Alea

by bcpbcp

The global video games industry has around $28,000 million turnover, whereas the global gambling industry is worth a staggering $1,098,000 million, forty times as much.
