The only problem with Times for iPad? Editing — remembering which button to press to do what — is kind of a UI clusterfck. You’ll need “Settings”, Gear, X, and Plus to get everything they way you want because you can’t simply drag or nudge a feed around as a block (even though nudging is exactly how you reorder categories). Also note that the options for priority aren’t ordered in the way they actually affect the columns; High is at the bottom, but the makes the feed float to the top. But once you get it set up, it’s beautiful.

This is what we mean by “generation gap”:

Games work because the player controls the action. No film can deliver this effect. As a spectator sport, splattering deadly exes doesn’t cut it: this pursuit demands participation.

Huh. You don’t say.

A nice, straight-forward infographic about lotteries from the Mint blog; In case you forgot, lotteries are all about supplementing state income, and they do a great job of it.

No, Human.

Can you call an iOS game trailer beautiful? Because this one is.

dwineman: What if that simple, inexpensive [AppleTV] controller is something like an iPhone without the screen? Then you would have made a device for a 10 ft. UI that is all touch but no direct manipulation, still hasn’t solved the text-entry problem, and would be *completely* foreign to the millions of people who know how to control televisions with remote controls.

I <3 F U

Told you I’d do it. Got through the chorus, anyway.

I’m trying to get out of Times Square through these foreign tourists /
I’m like, F You /
They’re walking 6 people wide because they think they’re the world /
And I’m like F You and F her too /
I said “If I was wasn’t workin’, I’d be back home in Brooklyn” /
Haw, ain’t that some shit (Ain’t that some shit) /
But our economy’s dreary, so I’ll welcome you here /
With a F You, Ooo Ooo Oo

Very slick task-switcher for you Jailbroken iOS types.

mrgan: By now, everyone knows that marble sculptures of ancient Greece weren’t actually bone-white, right? They were painted because guess what, everyone loves color. So I hope you don’t freak out if I say that I’m kind of getting into the look of these re-colored pieces. I still appreciate the ascetic white look, but, y’know… color! I&#8217;m loving these as well.
