Here are links I found interesting in March 2010:
- Books in the Age of the iPad – This has got to be one of the best articles about the rise of digital publishing that I’ve ever read. It makes me excited to be witness to this revolution. Read it and rejoice! Thanks to @andreaLG for sharing this link.
- Why DRM Doesn’t Work – I’ve been saying something like this for a while. On The Brad’s. Thanks to @szymonniemczura for sharing the link.
- The Ad-Blocker’s Dilemma – Some interesting thoughts on blocking ads on Web sites. On PlagiarismToday.com.
- Patently Stupid – According to Farhad Manjoo of Slate Magazine, “Apple’s multitouch lawsuit is both dumb and dangerous.” He makes some good arguments. But what his piece really highlights is the problems with the U.S. Patent Office.
- @ at MoMA – The history of the @ sign, which was just “acquired” by MoMA. Interesting stuff in a weird, geeky sort of way. Thanks to @JenniferWhitley for sharing the link.
- And an iPad in Every Backpack – Media Decoder Blog – NYTimes.com – “Everyone is looking for an angle on much-hyped entrance of the iPad to the marketplace and Seton Hill University in Pennsylvania has grabbed a piece by announcing that every incoming freshman will be handed a tablet when they walk in the door for the 2011-2012 academic year.” Read more in the NYTimes.com Media Decoder Blog.
- Apple is No. 3, closing in on Microsoft – Apple 2.0 – Fortune Brainstorm Tech – With its market cap at $213.9 billion, only two U.S. companies are bigger than Apple. Read more on Fortune.com. Who would have thought this was possible 10 years ago? Thanks to @DonPerreault for sharing this link.
