Jim Dalrymple, in an interview at MacStories about his newly-released The Loop Magazine: Apple’s Newsstand is the first time since 1994 that I’ve felt another shift in the publishing industry was upon us, so I jumped at it. Apple takes care of distribution, payments and the business side of things, leaving the publisher focus on [...]
How much does Henry Blodget make writing this crap? Oh, more money than my site generates? What, a lot more? Excuse me while I go jump in front of a bus. In the mean time, go watch this.
I think I’m hallucinating. Can someone call an ambulance for me?

In the end, it looks like Broder made some compromises to get from the Newark charging station to the Milford one, in both speed and temperature. Broder may not have used Musk’s car the [...]
Elon Musk: When Tesla first approached The New York Times about doing this story, it was supposed to be focused on future advancements in our Supercharger technology. There was no need to write a story about existing Superchargers on the East Coast, as that had already been done by Consumer Reports with no problems! We [...]
Adi Robertson at The Verge: Some of the best citizen journalism has relied on picking a few moments from long reels of video or snapping reams of pictures in short succession, an approach that doesn’t really work with Vine. Shocking.
Everyone dreams of launching their side project, but few of us manage to reach the finish line. This month, Shawn Blanc, David Sparks, Brett Terpstra, Brett Kelly and Adam King share from their experiences as professional “shippers.”
The hey-I-run-old-ass-apps-too version of the Microsoft Surface here. So, is it any good? Peter Bright at Ars Technica: From the tablet perspective, Surface Pro is not acceptable.
