Alex Colon, GigaOM


> Think about it: What’s the last thing you’re likely to leave the house without? I’ve forgotten my wallet once or twice, but unless you have a door that locks automatically, chances are your keys are just about guaranteed to go wherever you do. And that’s the beauty of the ChargeKey – it’s the same exact size as your average house key and it fits right on your key ring.

> China Unicom and China Telecom, which together have about 450 million customers, have cut the price of their competing iPhone packages only modestly since China Mobile announced its Apple agreement in December.

*** Andrew's Brain – Review ***
<http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/jan/17/andrews-brain-el-doctorow-review>
Jane Smiley, The Guardian


> The ending of <i>Ragtime</i> is a sad but just one – when characters die, it is because they are working out their fates. All the characters, even the drunken volunteer fireman who deposits a pile of faeces in the car of a black man audacious enough to drive a new Model T, pay their debt of mortification. Doctorow is not nearly that hopeful any more. In <i>Andrew's Brain</i>, only Andrew is even curious about justice. The others get away with murder.

Adam Langer, New York Times


> Then again, what is book criticism but another con game, using literary evidence and textual references to give the reader the illusion of authority? 




*** The Paratext's The Thing ***

Thomas Doherty, The Chronicle Of Higher Education


> For many viewers, critics, and scholars, the second (and third, fourth, and fifth) screen is as good as the first. In some quarters, the decorative wraparound material—the term of art is "paratext"—is outshining the prize in the box. The irritating distractions have morphed into the main attractions.
