Microsoft didn't lead the way to the iPad
Marco Arment:
Microsoft didn’t lead the way to the smartphone-to-tablet approach, and they didn’t lead the way to the iPad: they led the way down their own path that got them somewhere completely different, irrelevant, and unsuccessful.
Very good analysis from Marco. The whole post is worth reading.

On this Safari 5 Reader Hysteria
Nik Fletcher:
Thankfully, in amongst a swathe of misjudged writing on Safari Reader, The Guardian has a level-headed piece on the feature:

Amen to that. If anything, instead of this belligerent whinging, web publishers should wise up that people visit...

Setups & Spaces: Lost →
Like many of you I am sure, I spent much of my time last week, and this past weekend, consumed by all things Lost. What I believe to be the most well written, acted, and entertaining, series in American television history came to an end last night after 6 thought-provoking years. […]
