...Still tiny relative to the rest of the recording industry, Napster would slowly but surely have been transformed into a profitable way to distribute music while benefiting artists, labels, consumers and Napster itself. All this would have been possible, if only the law had worked just a little bit slower. Yet thanks to our speedy and efficient legal system, it's now highly doubtful whether Napster will ever again be as powerful as it once was, and it's virtually certain that consumers will never attain the ease of use or convenience we once had with Napster...
...longer existent, having been replaced by the oxymoronic "leisure activity." We are also made aware of the effect speed has on times past and present. Those times that were once viewed as speedy are today viewed as slow. We move as if there has always been a slower and will always be a Faster. Gleick, however, portends that our racing population will eventually crash into the limits of speed. In some ways, he shows we have already done this; we have learned that one can't hurry decomposition, nor a souffle, nor love. Gleick quotes the Red Queen in Lewis...

The songs are mostly in a similar shuffling tempo--there are no particularly fast ones--but "The First Season" and "Saturation" are slower than the rest. Nearly every track is strong, although "Someone's" and "Wind Up Space" are slightly repetitive, and less inventive...
...been a spectacularly tone-deaf politician even for Japan's doddering ruling elite. This is a man who decided to finish his round of golf after being told of the Greeneville sub disaster - and no one was particularly surprised. For the past decade, Japan's slow slide and slower internal response have been marginally better cause in the U.S. for schadenfreude than sympathy. But feeling superior is one thing; getting dragged into the tar pit of global depression by the industrialized world's most stubbornly ineffectual government is quite another...
...solution that hasn't received a lot of attention so far is to have part of the radiologist's job performed by technicians--or even computers. There are some data suggesting that technicians can be trained to read the mammograms as reliably as physicians, though at a slower rate. Radiologists already use sophisticated computer programs to improve their ability to detect tumors. No one is ready, however, to stake the lives of millions of women on mammographers who are not doctors...
