...time-traveled back to 1995 and asked the leading futurists of that time where our machines were soon to take us, you might well have heard just as much rhapsodizing about document-centric interfaces as that about hypertext and the World Wide Web. The first generation of software interfaces forced the user to think too much about the tools, the story went, and too little about the task. If you wanted to write a memo, you had to think, "First I must launch Microsoft Word, my tool, and then create a new document." If you wanted to embed some piece...
...truly don't know how I feel about this. It might be genius. Maybe most users are more confused by Finders and File Explorers than I've realized. But I can't help thinking that if the iPad really wants to be a device that you might take on a business trip instead of the laptop, it's going to need a little more document-centrism.

Breakups would distribute risk over a greater number of players and would probably be good for the banks as well. Most financial firms...
...regularly to the military and commercial launchers. And with 37 flights in the past 36 months, it clearly knows its business. The problem is that ULA rockets were not built for the trickier job of launching people, and not a single one of them is crew-rated. It will take at least four years to make the necessary adaptations according to one industry insider, and that's assuming no delays or cost overruns. Never assume that...
