> For many people the lack of color choices and wrist strap won’t be that important. The missing rear-facing iSight camera, with its 5-megapixel photos and 1080p video, may give you pause, however.

Randy Murray, First Today, Then Tomorrow


> I no longer think about which device to use. I just use the device that’s at hand and right for the task. Computers, phones, tablets—these are all outdated names for things that we used to do with the ancestors of today’s devices. Most of us don’t compute, we rarely make voice calls, and what the hell is a tablet anyway?

**** Growing Left, Growing Right ****
<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/04/science/growing-left-growing-right-how-a-body-breaks-symmetry.html?ref=science&_r=0>
Carl Zimmer, New York Times


> “I know what it is, you know what it is, but how does the embryo learn what it is?” asked Dominic P. Norris, a developmental biologist at the University of Cambridge in England.

> Now Dr. Norris and other scientists are beginning to answer that question. They have pinpointed some of the steps by which embryos’ organs develop on the left or right. And their research may do more than simply solve an old puzzle.



**** Dear Leader Dreams Of Sushi ****
<http://www.gq.com/news-politics/newsmakers/201306/kim-jong-il-sushi-chef-kenji-fujimoto-adam-johnson-2013>
Adam Johnson, GQ


> The chef's name, an alias, is Kenji Fujimoto, and for eleven years he was Kim Jong-il's personal chef, court jester, and sidekick. He had seen the palaces, ridden the white stallions, smoked the Cuban cigars, and watched as, one by one, the people around him disappeared. It was part of Fujimoto's job to fly North Korean jets around the world to procure dinner-party ingredients—to Iran for caviar, Tokyo for fish, or Denmark for beer. It was Fujimoto who flew to France to supply the Dear Leader's yearly $700,000 cognac habit. And when the Dear Leader craved McDonald's, it was Fujimoto who was dispatched to Beijing for an order of Big Macs to go.



**** A Literary Mind, Under The Spell Of Drugs And MacBook: "Taipei," By Tao Lin ****

Dwight Garner, New York Times


> At its best, it has distant echoes of early Hemingway, as filtered through Twitter and Klonopin: it’s terse, neutral, composed of small and often intricate gestures. At its lesser moments, it’s hapless, like a poorly lighted mumblecore movie.

> I loathe reviews in which a critic claims to have love-hate feelings about a work of art. It’s a way of having no opinion at all. But I love and hate “Taipei.”
