Bryan Bishop, The Verge


> Apple reportedly provided testimony on the matter in a private hearing last year, while Microsoft provided a written statement during the same timeframe pointing to regulations, supply chain costs, and the "relatively high cost of labor and rent" as reasons for the price discrepancies.

> There's no easy path to iPad adoption and a bogged-down iPad pilot program can spell disaster. Apple could be more helpful to businesses, but there are ways to simplify complicated iPad migrations. Here's what a tech services firm learned while helping Cablevision configure 3,000 iPads.

> It’s quite a handy workflow for people who, say, come across several links a day and want to save them for later alongside a portion of text they’re interested in. Unfortunately, it only works with Safari for iPad because it’s the only browser that will let you tap a bookmarklet while keeping selection active.

> Apple and Samsung, on the other hand, are not engaged in a corporate death match so much as a multi-layered rivalry that is by turns both friendly and hard-edged. For competitors like Nokia, BlackBerry, Sony, HTC and even Google - whose Motorola unit is expected to launch new smartphones later this year - they are a formidable duo.

Steven Schlozman, The Guardian


> After years of being told how unique we are by all facets of American culture – by vampires in our movies, by evangelists in our churches, by politicians on our pedestals and advertisements on our computers – perhaps we have grown tired of the disconnect between these messages and the experience that the Registry of Motor Vehicles affords. The zombies help us to confirm our experience.



**** The Good Of The Child ****

Charlotte Witt, Boston Review


> Safe-surrender programs sever the connection between the child and his or her family of origin. That is what they are intended to do. The question is whether this violates the child’s rights.
