Adam Dachis, Lifehacker


> While third-party apps may work better, you didn’t buy an iPhone because you wanted choice. People buy iPhones because they work well and they look nice. You know what to expect from Apple’s mobile darling, and that’s pretty comforting if you rely on your smartphone for many daily tasks. You don’t have to maintain it like a computer. You know it’ll be there for you when you need it. You can get fed up with restrictions and a lack of options, but do you really need your phone to do everything you ever wanted? Do you really need that much choice?

*** iPhone 2013: Apple Lays Foundations For Future Innovation ***
<http://blogs.computerworld.com/smartphones/22818/iphone-2013-apple-lays-foundations-future-innovation>
Jonny Evans, Computerworld


> Innovation takes time. It is quite telling that after a fairly fallow 2013, the company is still putting its framework together. Just how extensive are its plans?

> Think on Cook's statement to Goldman Sach's earlier this year: "The real magic is at the intersection of hardware, software and services. This isn't something you can sign a check for. You spend decades building up the experience."

*** Why A Disembodied Finger Can't Be Used To Unlock The Touch ID Sensor On The iPhone 5S ***
<http://www.tuaw.com/2013/09/16/why-a-disembodied-finger-cant-be-used-to-unlock-the-touch-id-se/>
Mike Wehner, TUAW


> RF waves do not respond to the dead layer of skin on the outside of your finger -- the part that might be chapped or too dry to be read with much accuracy -- and instead reads only the living tissue underneath. This produces an extremely precise image of your print, and ensures that a severed finger is completely useless.

*** Philosophy Is Not A 'Ridiculous' Pursuit. It Is Worth Funding ***
<http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/sep/17/defence-philosophy-abbott>
Paul Redding, The Guardian


> I remember a cartoon from the 1960s: a man in an office is leaning back in his chair, feet crossed on the desk, staring at the ceiling. The sign on the half-open door reads “philosophy department”. A passing colleague asks: “Dan, don’t you ever stop working?” A nice joke, having the right combination of absurdity and half-truth. Philosophy is an activity that can look like inactivity. But let’s not get carried away. Philosophising is, like all intellectual work, work.

<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/elad-nehorai/i-didnt-love-my-wife_b_3908956.html>
Elad Nehorai, The Huffington Post


> No, love isn't an emotion or even a noun.  It's a verb.  Better defined as giving.  As putting someone else's needs above your own.




*** We’ll Never Find Atlantis ***
<http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2013/09/we_ll_never_find_atlantis_that_s_why_we_keep_looking.html>
Emily Tamkin, Slate


> Which is, for Atlantis-bound adventurers, the whole point: People love mysteries and the idea that they can be the ones to solve them. If Atlantis could be anywhere, that means it can be everywhere. If anyone <i>could</i> stumble upon the true Atlantis, then everyone can.
