我们都知道这种感觉。你在悲伤的夜晚失眠，或者在朦胧的周末清晨蹒跚而行，需要一些阅读的东西，而那一堆未读的书并不能阻止你。为什么不从Twitter和RSS的消防水龙带中休息一下，看看我们每周从网络上收集的关于技术、文化、媒体和未来的重要文章？当然，坐在Instapaper队列中你会感到内疚的还有一件事，但总比再次在Twitter列表上徒劳地拉好。

关于特德

本杰明华莱士深入到TED会议，以及它如何**一个衍生产业的增长。另外，不要错过《纽约客》在达沃斯世界经济论坛上的报道。

纽约：本杰明·华莱士-那些令人难以置信的会议

And just as Davos is darkly symbolic to those who believe the world is controlled by 300 people, TED is uniquely able to stir up the Internet’s latent intellectual-class resentments. To attendees, or "TEDsters," as they refer to themselves, tweeting from behind the velvet rope is a chance to camouflage pride as wonderment.

关于猫的视频

显然，利用YouTube与猫咪视频分享收入，并不像用相机指着你借给朋友的几瓶酒那样容易。

锥子：莎拉斯托多拉-我的追求从病毒猫视频致富

Called simply "Puppy vs. Cat" (solid SEO!), this historic footage captures a cat confronting an entire litter of puppies. "Confronting" in this case is perhaps too generous a word, since nothing happens in the video. The puppies are adorable, and the cat is wary of them. The nonevent has attracted almost 13 million views. That’s as many viewers as for a typical episode of "Two and a Half Men," a show for which 30-second commercials bring in a quarter-million bucks.

在贝佐斯

《经济学人》介绍了杰夫·贝佐斯和他愿意玩长期游戏的情况，无论是投资太空旅行还是亚马逊的网络服务。

《经济学人》：从长远来看

Moreover, Amazon can use cross-subsidies from the sale of digital content to keep the price of the Fire down, something that rival tablet-makers who do not sell content cannot do. Once again, Mr Bezos is playing a long-term game in the hope of establishing the Fire as the main rival to the iPad.

纤细的线条

艾丽丝·罗斯特霍恩在看袖珍计算器的历史。

《****》：艾丽丝·罗斯顿-再见，袖珍计算器？

A pocket calculator was the closest that most 1970s c***umers came to owning anything with computational power, even if all it could do was basic math. Those tiny gizmos seemed enticing because they offered rare glimpses into the enigmatic world of technology, and the Sinclair Executive also had the élan of being the first one.

第一次

1958年，作为布鲁克海文国家实验室一年一度的游客节活动的一个辅助项目，威廉·希金博坦发明了第一款电子游戏“双人网球”。

每日：大卫伊根-历史页：在庞来之前

Instead, hundreds of people lined up, waiting for hours to devote a few minutes to staring at a 5-inch green phosphor monochrome screen, where they could control the trajectory of a dot of light bouncing back and forth
