Two stories that I chanced upon today, one that gives me hope, the other that doesn't.
Apple: new products -here's Buzzfeed with key video moments from the event - and a new(?) look at Steve Jobs. "In a fascinating interview last year with Graydon Carter of Vanity Fair, Jonathan Ive, Apple’s famed designer and longtime friend of Jobs, recounted a telling story. He remembered a time when Jobs had been tough — too tough, in Mr. Ive’s estimation — on his team. Mr. Ive pulled him aside and told him to be bit nicer. “Well, why?” Jobs replied. “Because I care about the team,” Mr. Ive responded. “And he said this brutally, brilliantly insightful thing, which was, ‘No, Jony, you’re just really vain,’ ” Mr. Ive recalled. “He said, ‘You just want people to like you, and I’m surprised at you because I thought you really held the work up as the most important, not how you believed you were perceived by other people.’”
How good are you at reading people's emotions?Sugar IS bad for you. No kidding! I appreciate the simple recommendation to cut sugar or reduce it from our diet as much as possible.
Why are some countries more open to refugees than others? One reason is demographics. This map from the Washington Post helps explain why some European countries reject refugees, and others love them.
A Google story. Loved the headline!
America's Freedom of Information Act has been in place since 1967. I didn't know that! Lifehacks has an excellent article on doing research, where it mentions the Act.
Ouch! That must hurt, Microsoft!
