“Clear­ly includes the same web clip­ping tech­nol­o­gy Ever­note already had, but adds anoth­er key func­tion: Clean­er read­ing of web pages on the desk­top. In fact, its very sim­i­lar to the Read­er func­tion in Apple’s Safari brows­er because it removes every­thing from a web page except for the con­tent and then presents it in a clean, easy to read for­mat.” “This...

I'd better stock up on turtlenecks.
While seeing a body reduces perceptions of agency, it actually enhances perceptions of experience. As a result, Gray et. al. argue that objectification is a misleading term: The idea that a body focus can lead to both decreased and increased mind stands in contrast to the term “objectification,” because it suggests that people seen as bodies are not seen as mindless objects but,...

I learnt today how to make a script file into an executable and what “shebang” refers to (seriously?!) how to use the Ruby 1.9 documentation in my terminal, and how to exit the view again that reading a programming book with my laptop on my knees while camping on the couch goes brilliantly together with a can of beer Only a few points, but then again I really needed to tweak this...
