...seen in Shakespeare’s works from that year. Political unrest gripped England, as the aging Queen received threats of assassination without an apparent heir. And the military, led by the doomed Earl of Essex, mobilized in response to rebellions in Ireland. These unsettling events seem to parallel the themes of “Henry the Fifth” and “Julius Caesar”—and they appear to have sparked Shakespeare’s creativity. However, due to the strict enforcement of censorship in Elizabethan England, Shakespeare could not make overt comparisons...
...about control. Apple employees talk incessantly about what they call "deep collaboration" or "cross-pollination" or "concurrent engineering." Essentially it means that products don't pass from team to team. There aren't discrete, sequential development stages. Instead, it's simultaneous and organic. Products get worked on in parallel by all departments at once--design, hardware, software--in endless rounds of interdisciplinary design reviews.

Like the boy of that classic film, he swings his limbs in happiness and flashes his teeth in anger, expressing each emotion...
...other half is that rare animal, scurrying about in its natural habitat: the Harvard student. Enough is enough. I’m fed up with nearly getting run over by a tour bus every time I try to cross Mass. Ave. in the morning as it attempts to parallel park in a space that a motorcycle would have difficulty backing into. I’ve had it with the glares that I get when I have to decline to take a picture of Bob, Sue, and the kids when I’m rushing to a class that started five...
