The Designer/Developer Workflow Crisis (That Everyone’s Ignoring)
"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 builds a brain in a supercomputer
"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

Why you shouldn't hire a "SEO Expert" - http://powazek.com/posts/2101
"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

"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

Want to Remember Everything You'll Ever Learn? Surrender to This Algorithm
"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

"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

Google's Marissa Mayer Assaults Designers With Data
"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 Just Undid Three Months of Dev work. Here's What We Learned.
"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

The myth of the page fold: evidence from user testing | cxpartners
"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

Transparent aluminium is 'new state of matter'
"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
Forget fusion and planetary science, now we can transport whales on space ships! F**k yeah! - RAPatton

Whales on space ships..... I never thought I'd live to see it! LOL - martha
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

Inside the Apocalyptic Soviet Doomsday Machine
""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
