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。

关于雅虎

大卫卡尔提出了玛丽莎·梅耶尔（marissamayer）执掌雅虎时需要回答的一个长期问题：雅虎是什么？

****：大卫卡尔-雅虎的大问题-是什么？

So Ms. Mayer may be taking over a stagnating company, but it is not a collapsing one. Yahoo has what all media companies want, which is a large audience. The company just doesn’t know what to do with it. When Ms. Mayer starts poking around under the hood of the news operation, she will find a home page that has the kind of traffic that can melt servers when it points to another site.

论书呆子

极光枪击案发生后，马克斯读到了一些问题，为什么“书呆子”的标签成为了大众**的通俗描述。

马克斯·里德——詹姆斯·霍姆斯是个书呆子吗？

Focusing on the perceived nerdiness of the killers helps categorize and demystify them. It explains the anger they’re supposed to have felt. It also provides people with a bit of rhetorical revenge: he may have killed dozens, but he’s still just a nerd.

工作中

亚历克西斯•马德里加尔（Alexis Madrigal）将不断堆积在电子产品上的责难分得一干二净，转而着眼于鼓励人们期望24/7工作的文化。

大西洋：亚历克西斯·马德里加尔——我们是沉迷于小玩意还是工作契约？

Imagine if 19th-century factory workers blamed the clock for the length of their work days. The answer to the horrible working conditi*** of the late 19th century was not to **ash the clocks or the steam engines! The solution was to organize and fight for your right to a 40-hour week and paid vacati***.

在icloud上

本周《山狮》发布后，iA的奥利弗·雷琴斯坦（Oliver Reichenstein）探讨了苹果如何创建一个更易访问的文件系统（不要错过本周的采访）。

信息架构师：Oliver Reichenstein-Mountain Lion的新文件系统

The folder system paradigm is a geeky concept. Geeks built it because geeks need it. Geeks organize files all day long. Geeks don’t know and don’t really care how much their systems suck for other people. Geeks do not realize that for most people organizing documents within an operating system next to System files and applicati*** feels like a complicated and maybe even dangerous business. Remember that autoexec.bat file?

史蒂夫·乔布斯

史蒂夫·乔布斯在现代职场留下了什么遗产，企业真的应该把他的人生当作福音来解读吗？

连线：本·奥斯汀——史蒂夫·乔布斯的故事：灵感还是警示？

In one camp are what you might call the acolytes. They’re businesspeople who have taken the life of Steve Jobs as license to become more aggressive as visionaries, as compe*****s, and above all as bosses. They’re giving themselves over to the thrill of being a general—and, at times, a dictator. Work was already the center of their lives, but Jobs’ story has made them resolve to double down on that choice.

论山狮

约翰·西拉库萨背着他26000字的山狮评论。

ars technica:John Siracusa-OS X 10.8山狮：ars technica评论

But hang on a second. For a desktop OS in the year 2012, which direction is "forward," anyway? The obvious answer is "toward iOS," but Lion proved that it's not quite that simple. And really, there has to be more to it than compulsive imitation, otherwise why continue development of the Mac platform at all?
