Apple x China
How the U.S. Lost out on iPhone Work In China, Human Costs Are Built into an iPad Can someone also do an article about the dozens of Chinese people lined up inside the Apple soho store every day to buy iphones and ipads to sell back to people in China, where the comparative cost of the same product is twice as what it costs someone to buy in the US? Irony is not the right word to describe this...

What do your moles say about you? →
via The Hungry Mole. My favorite mole is mole #6: “A mole here indicates intelligence, creativity and skill as an artist. Your artistic talent can bring you wealth, fame and success. It also indicates wealth luck, but this can only be fully realized if you follow your heart rather than stick to conventional means of making a living. Success will come if you are brave.” I always...

the REAL reason why your train is delayed →
“…sick passenger is code for “dead customer ON the train”. Often times it actually IS a sick passenger though - sick usually refers to some kind of bodily injury, rather than someone puking or passing out, and the delays are mainly from the MTA doing an investigation to cover their asses when that customer eventually files a lawsuit. “Police investigation” is...

Taiwan Stands Tall as 'Warriors of the Rainbow'... →
“China claims Taiwan as a breakaway province, even though both Hong Kong and Taiwan may put forth their own candidates for the foreign-langauge Oscar each year.” weird.  The whole China/Taiwan relationship fascinates me. And the Japanese occupation of China and Taiwan is something glossed over in American history books. The whole world is a big mess.

Another Circumbinary Planet Discovered! →
In the “Star Wars” movies, Luke Skywalker’s home planet, Tatooine, orbits two suns, giving it two sunsets and two sunrises every day. In September, scientists discovered the first planet in our galaxy that orbits two stars; now they have discovered two more and suggest that there are probably millions of these so-called circumbinary planets in the Milky Way.

UES jaunt (click for map) →
I like when people visit in NY. It gives you an excuse to do things you wouldn’t otherwise do. Today’s afternoon itinerary, walking straight up Madison Ave. and reminiscing about the Gilded Age: 1. Laduree (thankfully, there were no lines.) 2. Ralph Lauren (worth a visit to see the mansion that this store now occupies. after we left, I felt I had to shake off the feeling of waspy...

“I have no good reason to be taking ballet lessons. I take like a public class [with] a lot of people who are good and then me. I’m terrible,” he told Jimmy Kimmel in January and joked that there were two 7-year-old girls who look at him like “You’re old, you’re not good, I’ve seen you in movies and it’s weird that you’re here.”
