Links for 27 August
“Every separation is a link.” — Simone Weil
- We the faceless masses : Can facebook really trademark the word face?
- The 15 most overrated contemporary American writers? : Is this list sexist (as Susan Gilbert says) because it has an equal number of women, who are underrepresented in some other lists?
- Is Google sabotaging Yelp? : The curious case of Google Places
- It turns out : That this phrase is “subtly dishonest”?
- Defending the Kindle : “Precisely because I love literature”
- Random House wins battle for e-book rights : More or less (I suspect Wylie did all right)
- An iPad exhibition catalogue : For the Venice Architecture Viennale (which I will attend)
Duly Quoted
- “All profound distraction opens certain doors. You have to allow yourself to be distracted when you are unable to concentrate.” — Julio Cortázar, Around the Day in Eighty Worlds
