> Apple won about 8% of global business and government spending on computers and tablets in 2012, Forrester Research says, up from 1% in 2009. The numbers exclude the iPhone, which may be the most widely purchased Apple product by corporate customers. It is often Apple's gateway into a business.

> Kennedy is not a full-featured journaling app and is no replacement for Day One. However, I'm intrigued by the app's simple interaction of pressing a button to capture your context, and I think it's an especially relevant topic now, as our devices have access to a variety of sensors and data sources with information about our surroundings and ourselves.

> Baker had few artifacts from the last months of her son’s life, when schizophrenia had rendered his world chaotic. But she did have the waterlogged message that police found in Brian’s pocket when his body was recovered from the Texas lake where he died. It began painfully: “Maybe my dying is for the best,” he wrote. It then devolved into the confused rambling characteristic of his illness before concluding with two clear and desperate questions: “Where does it end? How does it end?” He answered by drowning himself.

> Pestian’s project was so compelling to Baker that, she says, “I tracked him down.” Now her son’s last words are part of an extraordinary collection of data: the language of approximately 1,400 people who have ended their own lives.
