Newsweek: Steve Jobs Basically Introduces 'Siri'... →
newsweek: In another of the many amazing quotes in that 3,500-word NEWSWEEK interview with Steve Jobs, which appeared in a 1984 special issue of the magazine, the Apple co-founder totally envisions Siri—the virtual personal assistant the company announced earlier this week. Look! I’ve always thought…

Obama Aide Discusses 2012 Campaign Strategy →
More generally, White House and Democratic strategists will try to portray the GOP as a ruined party in thrall to pre-rational thinking: a tribe of the willfully ignorant that rejects modern science, modern teaching methods, modern research and social science, all in the name of fealty to a static (and in that sense anti-American) society in which God’s word is the one and only answer.

American McCarver: About that stolen base... →
It was a six-run lead, but still. americanmccarver: Much has already been made of Friday night’s Giants v. Phillies skirmish. But today’s New York Times interview with MLB disciplinarian (and former Dodger!) Joe Torre is taking it as a given that Rollin’s stolen base is the de facto cause. Let’s review the facts: Top of the 6th, Phillies…

This is the end of Al Qaeda – Global Public Square →
But the truth is this is a huge, devastating blow to al Qaeda, which had already been crippled by the Arab Spring. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the end of al Qaeda in any meaningful sense of the word. Fareed Zakaria on the end of al Qaeda.
