Instapaper starred articles for week of 16-08-2010
I thought I’d try something new and start automatically posting my starred Instapaper articles every week. These are things I’ve enjoyed reading over the past week, and I hope you like them too. Let me know what you think.
- “MOM! BETHANY WON’T LET ME PLAY DOODLE JUMP! - venomous porridge”
Great fun piece of short creative writing based entirely off an iPhone app review for Doodle Jump. - Solving the 800-year mystery of Pisa’s Leaning Tower - Telegraph
Really interesting article about how the Leaning Tower of Pisa nearly collapsed, and how it was saved. - Ballmer (and Microsoft) still doesn’t get the iPad
How Microsoft are missing the point entirely - they want to ship pads / slates with desktop Windows on them, but it’s in no way built / designed for use by touch / fingers. They need to start from scratch, or re-purpose Windows Phone 7.
