我们都知道这种感觉。你在悲伤的夜晚失眠，或者在朦胧的周末清晨蹒跚而行，需要一些阅读的东西，而那一堆未读的书并不能阻止你。为什么不从Twitter和RSS的消防水龙带中休息一下，看看我们每周从网络上收集的关于技术、文化、媒体和未来的重要文章？当然，坐在Instapaper队列中你会感到内疚的还有一件事，但总比再次在Twitter列表上徒劳地拉好。

在胶片上

数字电影**最终超越了传统的细胞库存有很多原因，但这两种格式之间的斗争还远远没有结束。《大西洋月刊》考虑了电影在数字冲击面前的弹性。

大西洋：Jason Apuzzo&amp；戈文迪尼·默蒂——在暑期票房上，两种拍摄方式的较量

David Fincher are already including media players along with their archived digital footage in order to guarantee that the footage can actually be watched years down the line.

在盒子上

Vanessa Grigoriadis与IAC的Barry Diller就Aereo、媒体领域和有线电视行业缓慢的创新步伐展开了讨论。

纽约：凡妮莎·格里戈里亚迪斯-炸掉盒子

Why is it that the remote control attached to the set-top box and the navigation systems are so lame? Cable has not needed to innovate. When the first innovation came along, TiVo, they killed it. I’m not saying they’re bad folks by any stretch, but the natural forces of technology are forcing a level playing field— now, people will come up with new ideas and compete.

在电视上

在本周《纽约》的另一篇精彩文章中，马特·佐勒·塞茨（Matt Zoller Seitz）探讨了现场反应和插曲重述的文化如何永远改变了我们看电视的方式。

纽约：马特·佐勒·塞茨——马特·佐勒·塞茨谈电视的不断变化的界限

These were seized on, dissected, criticized, and debated within hours of their airing, with a thoroughness that might have unfolded over days not too long ago. The online record of people’s instant reacti*** may be critically incomplete, but it has personal and journalistic value. It shows us how people reacted to television moments when they happened and tells us about the changing culture and the technology that increasingly shapes it.

在flickr上

考虑到Instagram最近数十亿美元的**和Facebook的IPO，Mat Honan讲述了Flickr被雅虎收购的故事，这个故事发生了可怕的错误。

Gizmodo:Mat Honan——雅虎是如何杀死Flickr并失去互联网的

It was a stunning failure in vision, and more or less the same thing happened at Flickr. All Yahoo cared about was the database its users had built and tagged. It didn't care about the community that had created it or (more importantly) continuing to grow that community by introducing new features.

论保存与仿效

韦斯利·芬龙解释了正确模仿过去经典的16位视频游戏系统的困难和重要性。

测试：韦斯利芬龙-16位时间胶囊：SNES模拟器使软件保存的情况。同样的，看看开发者Byuu 2011年在ars technica的文章。

Historians will be able to look back on the engineering performed at Nintendo R&D 2 in the late 1980s through the window of bsnes — or some future software built from byuu's source code — and see almost exactly how this one video game c***ole functioned. And 100 years from now, at least some of the ROMs uploaded to the Internet will actually be legal.

最后，请不要错过我们关于Facebook的最佳长篇写作综述。

在facebook上

太多？然后我们推荐哈佛大学深红学院facebook.com就在2004年它在哈佛大学推出的几天后。

哈佛深红：凯文J.费尼-商务，休闲

Zuckerberg had the same devil-may-care attitude this fall, when a federal lawsuit added an expected $20,000 to TheFacebook’s monthly expenses. In total, Zuckerberg says the lawsuit filed by Divya K. Narendra ’04, Cameron S. H. Winklevoss ’04, and Tyler O. H. Winklevoss ’04 of Connect-U could cost TheFacebook upwards of $200,000. "But whatever, it’s just money," he says. "We’ll just sell more ads or something."
