Lucy Kellaway, Financial Times

> Everyone knows that job ads are an area that attracts the worst sort of grandiose language, especially when they have been put through a headhunter’s mangle that makes every employer “world-class”. But when the company itself can’t describe what its own people do, and can’t say anything clearly about who it wants to fill them, I fear trouble.

Jacob Kastrenakes, The Verge

Topher Kessler, Macworld

> Unfortunately, if the RAM in your Mac is faulty, those faults can sometimes persist undetected for a while, only to crop up unexpectedly and result in a crash, hang, or other unwanted behavior. Therefore, it is good to not only be able to identify faulty RAM, but also be able to properly test for it and then be prepared to fix the problem, if it arises.

> There is nothing like being among the first to get your hands on a language, and being among the first to explore it. Even if you immediately find ways to break all the things.

Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

> In the “Silkworm,” Ms. Rowling concocts a case — involving the mysterious disappearance and grisly murder of a self-important novelist named Owen Quine — that plops these unconventional sleuths into the even more rarefied world of literary London, sending up the swollen egos and clashing ambitions of writers, editors and publishers vying for fame and top-dog standing.

Meg Favreau, The Smart Set

> China, lobster, buillion... Victorian picnics could be stuffy, laborious affairs. And then came the sandwich.
