I agree, and am intrigued by where the 40 hour/5 day work week came from and what the consequences would be of reducing it. Why can't we aim for a world in which people can live happily by only spending half their time working, fr

The BBC used to have a lot of commercial divisions, or wholly-owned subsidiary companies: BBC Resources Ltd, BBC Technology Ltd, BBC Broadcast Ltd, and BBC Worldwide Ltd. Of those, the first three have been sold off, leaving only BBC Worldw

The button he's calling the "share" button is in fact called the "action" button in iOS. It's supposed to bring up a context-sensitive list of actions that you can perform at a particular point in an app. The article says "same button, comp
