Great article on failure - The Neuroscience of Screwing Up
via wired.com
The "How to Learn From Failure" piece is especially great:
1. Check Your Assumptions
Ask yourself why this result feels like a failure. What theory does it contradict? Maybe the hypothesis failed, not the experiment.
2. Seek Out the Ignorant
Talk to people who are unfamiliar with your experiment. Explaining your work in simple terms may help you see it in a new light.
3. Encourage Diversity
If everyone working on a problem speaks the same language, then everyone has the same set of assumptions.
4. Beware of Failure-Blindness
It’s normal to filter out information that contradicts our preconceptions. The only way to avoid that bias is to be aware of it.

Maybe not as transcendent as Bohemian Rhapsody, but still really good.

David Carr on the iPad (but could just as easily be talking about the iPhone)
One thing you have to understand about this gadget is that the gadget disappears pretty quickly. You're looking into pure software.
Love the idea of the hardware disappearing into a window of pure software. Great way to think about it. (via my favorite blog - Daring Fireball)

Siri - The Personal Assistant on your Phone
via youtube.com
Apparently this is quite accurate. Can't wait for a time when voice becomes a ubiquitous input method (with APIs) for mobile - a whole new dimension of opportunities.

Trip down memory lane - The CONSOLLECTION
The Intellivision was actually my second console. My first was the original Atari Pong system which i can't find here. There was a hardware add-on for Intellivision called Intellitalk. The only game that you could use was B17 Bomber. I can still remember the synthetic voice saying "watch out for flak."
