Anonymous | Philosopher's Beard | 27 September 2011
Well-argued case for adopting a pragmatic approach to climate change. It's
"wrong to fixate on an impossible problem and seek a perfect solution
without reference to wider ethical issues, and political and practical
feasability" [6]Comments

Clever take on Kindle Fire tablet. Specifically its custom browser, which
uses Amazon's cloud services to speed up web pages. If let loose on PC
market, could threaten Google Chrome. So using Android hasn't made Amazon a

Larry McMurtry | NYRB | 1 October 2011
Scathing portrait of Republican challenger as "another slicked up
trashmouth". His "only salient principle seems to be that all attention is
good." Lazy. There's a bit of Reagan about him, but it's Reagan's bad side,
not his good [10]Comments

Too bad fossil fuels aren't in vogue. Harold Hamm thinks he's sitting on 24
billion barrels of prime US oil. With more drilling he claims he could raise
$18 trillion in royalties for the government. What if he's even half right?

"By the sixth night, David La Vau was convinced he was going to die."
Injured, he lay stranded in a remote forest. His only company? The ruins of
the car he drove off a cliff face. And the decomposing body of the man he

Paul Hayward | Observer | 2 October 2011
On Man City footballer's refusal to go on as a substitute. Today's "one-man
corporations" no longer loved symbols of aspirational society. They operate
in swirl of greed, restlessness, insecurity. And fans can turn on them
quickly [16]Comments
