Joshua Schnell, Macgasm


> I’m sure you know at this point that the iPhone lets you use the “volume up” button as a shutter button much like a point and shoot camera, but did you know that if you push and hold the button iOS won’t take a photo until the shot is in focus? It’s kind of like half pressing the shutter button on your point and shoot camera.

*** All I Needed To Know About Life I Learned From “Dungeons & Dragons” ***
<http://www.salon.com/2014/01/21/all_i_needed_to_know_about_life_i_learned_from_dungeons_dragons/>
Ethan Gilsdorf, Salon


> Yes, it’s a fantasy game, and the whole enterprise is remarkably analog, powered by face-to-face banter, storytelling and copious Twizzlers and Doritos. But like any pursuit taken with seriousness (and the right dose of humor), Dungeons & Dragons is more than a mere game. Lessons can be applied to the human experience. In fact, all I really need to know about life I learned by playing D&D.




*** New Truths That Only One Can See ***
<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/21/science/new-truths-that-only-one-can-see.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&_r=0>
George Johnson, New York Times


> Replication, the ability of another lab to reproduce a finding, is the gold standard of science, reassurance that you have discovered something true. But that is getting harder all the time. With the most accessible truths already discovered, what remains are often subtle effects, some so delicate that they can be conjured up only under ideal circumstances, using highly specialized techniques.
