The miracle isn't any one person, rather it's that humanity can collaborate to create something much greater than any one of us. Then we can all have an accurate perspective on our role in it.

Wenn es bedeutet, seinen Ruf zu ruinieren, weil man bei Unrecht laut aufschreit, dann soll es so sein, sagte ich mir.

This whole spectacle, the pageantry of it all is so despicable. This is to morality what X-Factor is to music. Goodnight.

Look up, not down. It’s always easy to make yourself look good by finding people even worse than you. Yes, we agree, you’re not the worst person in the world. That’s not the question. The question is whether you can get better — and to do that you need to look at the people who are even better than you.

Es gibt keinen Grund, in einem Konflikt, an dessen Fortbestand beide Parteien Schuld tragen, mit der einen zu sympathisieren – es sei denn, man hat einen Grund. «Man darf ja wohl noch ein Land kritisieren!», rufen die betreffenden Leute. Ja, darf man – aber warum glaubt man zu müssen?

    Claudio Rimann Wohl der beste, differenzierteste Text, den ich bisher zum Konflikt zwischen den Palästinensern und den Israelis gelesen habe.

It was a surreal, Kafkaesque experience. The whole thing happened in a matter of 12 days. In less than two weeks I had gone from being a professor of English literature, leading a very normal life, to a person who had to flee her homeland.

Still, it’s gratifying to see Adobe building software for creatives again, rather than riding on the coat-tails of its legacy software titles. I remain hesitant though; Adobe maintains a monopoly over creative software, and those traditional products are still overpriced and under-loved, most notably with regards to Fireworks. Having grown uncomfortable with Adobe’s ways in recent years, it will take some time for them to convince me they have really changed for the better.

This new product eliminates the hassle of one thing in particular. After that it’s about the same as anything else it competes with. In some ways, it does significantly less than the competition. Plus, the other products are totally free. Ours won’t be.

I’m not a carpenter. If you asked me to build a table you would end up with a lopsided, three-legged abomination. That’s not because of the hammer, or the saw, or the drill—that’s because I suck at using them. Give the same equipment to a carpenter and you get something beautiful.

The irony in all of this is that taking a break from doing, to look slowly and carefully at why we do things and how they fit into the world around us, will almost certainly make us better at the doing part. All creative pursuits have importance and meaning only through their audience, so understanding that audience and the world it operates in is an essential ingredient in our craft.

All attempts to attack The Pirate Bay from now on is an attack on everything and nothing. The site that you're at will still be here, for as long as we want it to. Only in a higher form of being. A reality to us. A ghost to those who wish to harm us.

Das US-Patentamt hat nun ein Patent auf ein Verfahren zur digitalen Rechteminderung (DRM) für 3D-Drucker erteilt. Danach soll der Drucker bei jedem Auftrag prüfen, ob der Nutzer berechtigt ist, den betreffenden Gegenstand herzustellen. Wenn nicht, wird eben nicht gedruckt.

If you've never sold all of your stuff, I recommend it. It's a great experience. You'll discover how much time you waste doing stuff that doesn't matter and how not doing that stuff effects your happiness.

    Deleted user Sympathisch, wie er selbst zugibt, dass er nicht genau weiß, was seine Message eigentlich ist. Mir sind die super Minimalisten (mir genügt ein Bett und ein Laptop) etwas suspekt. Ich mag 90% der Dinge um mich herum, 10% sind überflüssig und die werden mit der Zeit weniger. Vielleicht braucht es den Totalverkauf, um dann von neuem nur sinnvolles zu kaufen. Vielleicht aber auch nicht? :)

With the way things behave, I think skeuomorphism is an unstoppable trend that seems to work really nicely on everything. But when it comes to the way things look, I think it’s more of a stylistic choice that really depends on the software that you’re creating.

The placebo effect means that voodoo curses really can kill you, AXE body spray can make men sexier, and fake steroids can make you stronger. What's truly amazing is the placebo effect can work even when you know it's a placebo.
