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。

论音乐

凯尔·查卡考虑到，当我们只是从云中借来音乐和收集变化时，我们是如何体验音乐和收集变化的

过去的局：凯尔查卡-空3

Music streaming may enable us as c***umers of music, able to call up and listen to virtually any well-known track in an instant, but it fails to empower listeners as collectors. It’s possible to bookmark songs in applicati*** like Spotify and recall them at will, but for now at least, it’s not possible to gather together the songs you like in an enduring, sharable library the way we might arrange books on a bookshelf (another dwindling piece of technology.

在groupon上

有人读过他们的书。

法斯特公司：亚当L。Penenberg-Groupon和它的轴心点：一个巨大的、元的新闻聚合

Finally, all eyes have turned to Andrew Mason, Groupon's 31-year-old CEO, who once paid a man to dress up like a ballerina in the office, who propagates false rumors about himself owning 20 cats, and who films himself doing yoga in his underwear. [He] is trying to figure out the next thing for his company... building what Mason calls the "operating system for local commerce"--a suite of software and technology services that would embed Groupon into every facet of every transaction on Main Street... a kind of Yellow Pages to search for new ideas on where to dine or where to find the lowest prices offered by thousands of local businesses.

在38个工作室

贾森·施瓦茨记录了美国职业棒球大联盟前投手柯特·席林38个工作室的兴衰。

波士顿杂志：杰森·施瓦茨-游戏结束

Deadlines were frequently missed, something for which staffers say Schilling rarely held anyone accountable. The ex-pitcher had a bigger concern. "The game wasn’t fun," he says, unprompted, beside the softball field. "It was my biggest gripe for probably the past eight to 12 months." Visually, Copernicus was stunning, but the actual things you could do in the game weren’t engaging enough. The combat aspects especially lagged. Schilling — who never wavered in his belief that the game would be great — says the MMO was improving, but after six years, it still wasn’t there.

在无人机上

伊丽莎白·布米勒向美国无人机飞行员讲述了这份工作的心理压力。

《****》：伊丽莎白·布米勒——一份等待杀戮的日工把整个世界都抛诸脑后

All the operators di**iss the notion that they are playing a video game. (They also reject the word "drone" because they say it describes an aircraft that flies on its own. They call their planes remotely piloted aircraft.) "I don’t have any video games that ask me to sit in one seat for six hours and look at the same target," said Joshua, a sensor operator who worked at Creech for a decade and is now a trainer at Holloman. "One of the things we try to beat into our crews is that this is a real aircraft with a real human component, and whatever decisi*** you make, good or bad, there’s going to be actual c***equences."

关于密码

作家Mat Honan的个人账户周五下午遭到黑客攻击，导致iPhone、iPad、MacBook Air、谷歌账户被刷，Gizmodo的Twitter账户上出现一连串攻击性信息。这个周末花点时间想出一个更强大的密码。

马特·霍南-是的，我被黑了。很难。

At 4:50 PM, someone got into my iCloud account, reset the password and sent the confirmation message about the reset to the trash. My password was a 7 digit alphanumeric that I didn’t use elsewhere. When I set it up, years and years ago, that seemed pretty secure at the time. But it’s not. Especially given that I’ve been using it for, well, years and years.
