I Dream Of Tablet
[NOTE: This post is a horribly-titled compilation of a series originally published on AppleMatters which constituted baseless speculation on a hypothetical Apple tablet computer. Everything below assumes that Apple is, in fact, working on a touchscreen device with a larger form factor than the iPhone, to be used as a platform for digital books/magazines/newspapers, as well as, perhaps, a better way to view HD video.]
“To dismiss Michael Bay’s decade-long winning streak is to deny a fundamental truth about what it means to be an American skipping through the ruins of what cultural theorist Fredric Jameson has called “late capitalism.” It’s a landscape dominated by mass-produced products, images and notions — many of them militaristic and/or materialistic in nature, all consciously or subconsciously reinforcing our bone-deep faith in bigger-newer-shinier-cooler-faster and lead-follow-or-get-out-of-the-way. This mentality — a distinctively American hybrid of latent fascism and ingrained consumerism — is the air we breathe, the blood that flows through our veins. It’s our true national religion. The individual, told from birth that he’s the captain of his own ship and not a slave pulling oars down in the galley, is unlikely to recognize the reality of his predicament, much less define himself against it.”

Insurgents Hack U.S. Drones →
online.wsj.com
Militants in Iraq have used $26 off-the-shelf software to intercept live video feeds from U.S. Predator drones, potentially providing them with information they need to evade or monitor U.S. military operations. Senior defense and intelligence officials said Iranian-backed insurgents intercepted the video feeds by taking advantage of an unprotected communications link in some of the remotely flown planes’ systems. Shiite fighters in Iraq used software programs such as SkyGrabber — available for as little as $25.95 on the Internet — to regularly capture drone video feeds, according to a person familiar with reports on the matter.

“Do not confuse an argument for sensitivity with an argument for a soft touch. It’s the opposite, in fact. So if you think someone—like say Desiree Rogers—is fucking up, you should do the hard work of figuring out how and why, and then credibly communicating that to readers. I don’t make exceptions for fashion, or “social events,” anymore than I make them for sports or music. I’ve read too many great stories about boxers. When you write about someone, in a specific way, their life is in your hands. I believe you should treat them with the respect they deserve, whether that means praising their idiosyncrasies, or burying them beneath the pile of bullshit they’re attempting to foist on the public.”
