That's looks like a joke. A joke from 1993 - Matthew DeVries

"A designer who only knows Photoshop and Illustrator isn't going to cut it much longer (outside of print design)." This isn't a new observation, but it didn't turn out to be true five (or ten) years ago, and it likely won't turn out to be true today. There will always be a market for designers that produce pretty comps . Unfortunately. - Michael R. Bernstein

"Henry Markram says the mysteries of the mind can be solved -- soon. Mental illness, memory, perception: they're made of neurons and electric signals, and he plans to find them with a supercomputer that models all the brain's 100,000,000,000,000 synapses." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

The Kindle is going to get a run the question now is it too late - Rob Cairns

"In a previously unpublished Kurt Vonnegut story from a new book, the author bellies up to the bar." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

"I publish a magazine and I know a lot of magazine publishers. And they are forking over embarrassing sums of money to charlatans who say they can raise their search engine rankings. These magazines can barely pay their writers. That’s wrong and it has to stop." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

well said - suggest you read the original post too http://powazek.com/posts/2090 - mike "glemak" dunn

"YouTube may pay less to be online than you do, a new report on internet connectivity suggests, calling into question a recent analysis arguing Google’s popular video service is bleeding money and demonstrating how the internet has continued to morph to fit user’s behavior." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

The headline is misleading. They own pipes and trade traffic. It's bartering value for value, and they had to invest (and continue to invest) to get to that point. - LogEx

"SuperMemo is based on the insight that there is an ideal moment to practice what you've learned. Practice too soon and you waste your time. Practice too late and you've forgotten the material and have to relearn it. The right time to practice is just at the moment you're about to forget. Unfortunately, this moment is different for every person and each bit of information. Imagine a pile of thousands of flash cards. Somewhere in this pile are the ones you should be practicing right now. Which are they?" - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

The Pimsleur language series uses an essentially similar methodology, and they worked very well for me in learning French. - Joel Webber

"Every system has two sets of rules: The rules as they are intended or commonly perceived, and the actual rules ("reality"). In most complex systems, the gap between these two sets of rules is huge." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

"The irony was not lost on anyone in attendance at AIGA's national conference in Memphis last weekend. Marissa Mayer, "keeper" of the Google homepage since 1998, walked into a room filled with over 1,200 mostly graphic designers to talk about how well design worked at the design-dismissive Google. She even had the charts and graphs of user-tested research to prove it, she said. Designers shifted uncomfortably in their seats." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

"We’ve been deleting a lot of code from Scout. We’re ripping out major infrastructure, and in doing so, pulling the plug on functionality which, just six months ago, we believed would be crucial to our business. Most importantly, we’re simplifying the most complex, error-prone, and poorly-performing parts of the application. At the same time, our revenue and sales pipeline is growing at a faster rate." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

"Clara Shih, creator of the first business application on Facebook, talks about her application and what the World Wide Web of people means for interaction, relationships and enterprise software design. " - Lasse Johnsen

"As web professionals, we all know that the concept of the page fold being an impenetrable barrier for users is a myth. Over the last 6 years we’ve watched over 800 user testing sessions between us and on only 3 occasions have we seen the page fold as a barrier to users getting to the content they want." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

"It is a wonderful piece of alternate universe American history, in which President Nixon had to explain to a nation that Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were going to die on the moon." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

"Oxford scientists have created a transparent form of aluminium by bombarding the metal with the world’s most powerful soft X-ray laser. 'Transparent aluminium' previously only existed in science fiction, featuring in the movie Star Trek IV, but the real material is an exotic new state of matter with implications for planetary science and nuclear fusion." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

I know, martha! Just think of the high Gs they can pull in a water tank. We've thought about putting humans in water tanks for high G acceleration, but now we don't have to. If only we could teach them to snort spice, the universe will be ours! - RAPatton

"They might be bald and ugly, but naked mole rats never get cancer. If their trick can be copied it could help humans resist cancer too." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet

""The Perimeter system is very, very nice," he says. "We remove unique responsibility from high politicians and the military." He looks around again. Yarynich is talking about Russia's doomsday machine. That's right, an actual doomsday device—a real, functioning version of the ultimate weapon, always presumed to exist only as a fantasy of apocalypse-obsessed science fiction writers and paranoid über-hawks. The thing that historian Lewis Mumford called "the central symbol of this scientifically organized nightmare of mass extermination." Turns out Yarynich, a 30-year veteran of the Soviet Strategic Rocket Forces and Soviet General Staff, helped build one." - Lasse Johnsen from Bookmarklet
