Dear Steve,
Why are you wasting your time responding to idiots? Ryan Tate, Gawker’s resident dickbag, is clearly just trolling you.
I closely follow the whole App Store rejections debacle—which has increasingly become so popular that even the mainstream press has gotten wind of it—and now this Adobe vs. Apple, freedom vs. Apple thing, and while I don’t agree with some of the rejections (Google Voice? C’mon, man) and how ridiculously arbitrary some of your App Store approval rules are, I do believe you’re entitled to do what you want on a platform you created. Out of nothing. There wouldn’t even be anything for anyone to whine about if you hadn’t created the iPhone/iPad platform.
If the haters don’t like it, there are plenty of other platforms and vendors willing to pick up the slack. I for one absolutely adore my iPad and will definitely be getting the upcoming iPhone, and I’m perfectly content with not having Flash on my devices if that’s the decision you’re sticking with.
So why are you wasting your time responding to these inane criticisms? Let’s get back to work on the iPhone and the iPad 2, please. The future of our technological lifestyle dearly needs you.
Best,
Hotin
An Open Letter to All the Politicians Talking About Whether or Not Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan Is a Lesbian →

And frankly, President Obama, I’m looking at you, too. I’m hoping that you’re a brilliant strategist, and that nominating a liberal lesbian to the Supreme Court is part of your master plan to get gays equal rights in the long run. Just like I’m trusting that Damon Lindelof and Cartlon Cuse will answer all eleven trillion unanswered question in the LOST finale. But if you don’t do anything, Mr. President—if you don’t repeal DADT or DOMA while in office—I swear to god, I am never going to have an explicit sex dream about you and your wife again. Because I can only be so patient.
The kind of rant that can only be found on a tumblelog. So good.

Plan B: Skip College →

Interesting article in the NYT:
Professor Vedder likes to ask why 15 percent of mail carriers have bachelor’s degrees, according to a 1999 federal study. “Some of them could have bought a house for what they spent on their education,” he said.
I’m not going to lie—I mainly blogged this just to see how well I can do it on my iPad. In case you’re wondering, it’s wonderful.
“
A second ago you were stepping into college with your lungs full of fresh air.
A half minute before that you were stepping into high school, and an unhooked brassiere was as close as you were going to get to Paradise. Only a fifth of a second before that you were a small kid with a ten-week summer vacation that lasted a thousands years and still ended too soon.
