Jesse Thorn: My ten favorite soul albums →

Yet another legal fight we could have avoided. Instead of trying to attach requirements and rules for the good of everyone on top of a health care system that functions mainly to deny care and enrich insurers we could have just expanded Medicare to everyone. All those insurance administrators who’d be out of a job? Guess what, there’s a huge need for admins in Medicare now! All those...

Box Office Returns Continue to Decline →
I know there’s plenty of blame to go around here: Big-screen TVs, people’s busy lives, 3D movie prices, film quality overall, but I think there’s a major component that never gets blamed: The failure of film advertising.

The Verge lists some really great “alternative design options” that Apple offered Samsung to avoid infringing its design patents: Display screens that aren’t centered on the front face and have substantial lateral borders.
