Stunning Vintage Photos of Australian Bike Culture in the Early 1900s | Brain Pickings. Isn’t it surprising to read and look at things from the past? Like this photo from the article above that says “Ice cream the health food of a nation” They probably believed it back then. Makes you want to be more critical with advertising messages now doesn’t it?
Amazon.com: The EMOTIONAL BRAIN: THE MYSTERIOUS UNDERPINNINGS OF EMOTIONAL LIFE (9780684836591): Joseph Ledoux: Books. This book is terrible. He says he wants it to be understandable to both the general public and scientists, but it does neither. Don’t waste your time with this book.
Anatomy of an Apple Email / Flowtown (@flowtown). Nice analysis of creating Apple-like marketing materials. Of course if you do this, Apple will probably send you a C&Desist letter for trademark infringement, so beware.
Klassiker: Apple now supporting Windows! @ Existenz.se. Would you have used your laptop like this? I would have just used a regular book or something else.
Google Near DOJ Settlement Over Online Drug Ads – WSJ.com. Allegations it made hundreds of millions of dollars? “Do no evil?” Hard to remember that when you are handling all that money.
US Police Can Copy Your iPhone’s Contents In Under Two Minutes – TNW United States. Looks like having a smart phone is no longer an asset. Why won’t they release the data?
Apple Adds Do-Not-Track Tool to New Browser – WSJ.com. Interesting. Now it is just Google that doesn’t have a built-in way to block advertising. Really puts them at odds with their business model. I wrote about Keep my Opt Outs here.
Beautiful example of giving and how easily you can benefit others with a little work.
