*** ITbits: Putting IBM MobileFirst In (Apple’s Enterprise) Context ***
<http://tidbits.com/article/14932?rss>
Andrew Laurence, TidBITS

> As a member of the slim MacIT population, I have long wished Apple would do a better and bolder job of telling the story of its enterprise-friendly technologies, and the many excellent supporting options. Fortunately, IBM excels at that.

Topher Kessler, MacIssues

> If you have a MacBook Air and are experiencing long pauses when waking from sleep, or if you find your system fans are regularly blaring after waking from sleep, then Apple has a fix in the form of an EFI firmware update, that should hopefully clear the issue.

Chris Parsons, iMore

> The ad itself is rather simple and just flashes through a bunch of MacBook Air lids all decked out in stickers ranging from the Beats logos, Snow White, Homer Simpson and various other pop culture characters, logos and symbols. A sight that's no doubt familiar to many readers out there.

Apple is going to start selling stickers at its Apple Stores? (Or have they already?)

*** Cognitive Celebrity ***
<http://aeon.co/magazine/nature-and-cosmos/why-is-einstein-the-poster-boy-for-genius/>
Matthew Francis, Aeon

> Albert Einstein was a genius, but he wasn’t the only one – why has his name come to mean something superhuman?



*** The Journalist And The Suicide ***
<http://thenewinquiry.com/essays/the-journalist-and-the-suicide/>
Jesse Barron, The New Inquiry

> The suicidal veteran, who volunteered to inflict damage abroad and wound up fatally damaging himself, doesn’t usually write his own story. He leaves a note, which leaves the storytelling to others. The narratives start almost instantly.
