...real estate for navigating all the information that will be stored on these machines. I have no inside information on this, but given the inventiveness of the iWork user experience, I can't help thinking that an iPad-native home environment was a project that didn't make the ship dates, and that they slapped on the old iPhone screen for continuity at the last minute. But time will tell...
...laptop or supplementing it? The scale of the wager means that - unlike Jobs' self-professed hobby, the Apple TV - the iPad will be a site of rapid innovation over the next 24 months. Making broad statements about Apple's long-term intentions based on features that didn't ship with Version One is a fool's errand. We spent six months hyperventilating about how Apple was screwing over small developers by forcing everyone to develop Web apps, and then they launched the software-development kit and the App Store, and the iPhone turned into the biggest gold rush for small...
...only major stakes NASA has left in the manned space game, and postshuttle it will be the only one. For a while the U.S. won't even have a way to go back and forth between the ISS and earth without hitching a ride on a Russian ship.

Its intended mission has changed and changed and changed again over the years, from materials manufacturing to zero-g experiments to astronomic observations to studying...
...Rink, designed in 1956, has just been completed. An obvious precursor to the arabesques of the TWA terminal, Ingalls represents Saarinen at his most voluptuous, with a roofline forming a gentle curve that swells in the middle, then dips and rises at both ends like the prow of a ship, or two prows. Yalies call it the Whale. Meanwhile, at Yale's Morse College, an undergraduate residential complex by Saarinen that was inspired by the plan and proportions of an Italian hill town, something close to a gut renovation is nearly finished. Restoration of the adjoining Stiles College begins...
...long since moved on from concerns with adolescent dissatisfaction to an interest in Eastern religion, especially the Gospels of Sri Ramakrishna, the 19th century Hindu mystic. His beliefs started to find their way into his fiction. In his haunting story "Teddy," a college instructor on a transatlantic cruise ship makes the acquaintance of an otherworldly little boy who calmly believes himself to be a reincarnated soul and meets a fate he predicts for himself.
