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。

论匿名

奎因·诺顿（Quinn Norton）在《匿名者》（Anonymous）一书中写到了最近政治意识的增长——这不再仅仅是一种沉闷。

连线：奎因诺顿-如何匿名选择目标，发动攻击，并采取强大的组织下来

No, what Anonymous has become, in reality, is a culture, one with its own distinctive iconography (the Fawkes masks, the headless man in the business suit), its own self-referential memes, its own coarse sense of humor. And as Anonymous campaigns have spread around the world, so too has its culture, bringing its peculiar brand of cyber-rebellion to tech-savvy activists in Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Like a plastic Fawkes mask, Anonymous is an identity that anyone can put on, whenever they want to join up with the invisible online horde.

在联邦贸易委员会

ProPublica和Wired的一份报告显示，联邦贸易委员会人手不足，“受到安全过滤器的束缚”，这使得其华盛顿总部的日常研究和测试变得困难。

ProPublica:Peter Maass——一个孤独的研究生是如何挤占**的？这对你的网络隐私意味着什么

Earlier this year, the unit issued a highly publicized report on mobile apps for kids; its conclusion was reflected in the subtitle, "Current Privacy Disclosures Are Disappointing." It was a thin report, however. Rather than actually checking the personal data accessed by the report's sampling of 400 apps, the report just looked at whether the apps disclose, on the sites where they are sold, the types of personal data that would be accessed and what the data would be used for. The body of the report is just 17 pages. (The FTC says it will do deeper research in future reports.)

在iphone上

iPhone今年迎来了第五个年头，Joel Johnson回顾了它的影响。

纽约动物报：乔尔·约翰逊——五年后的iPhone实践回顾

...have a robotic voice remind you of household tasks when you walk through your front door, keep the birthdays and phone numbers of every person in your life, track your sleep patterns and be woken at exactly the right time in your REM cycle, take college courses from real universities for free, keep track of all your passwords, use email, tune your guitar, monitor police-band broadcasts, remix ambient audio into a living aural nightmare, have AAA send a tow truck, find free condoms, learn how to tie a knot, write a novel, control a flying robotic drone, mail a letterpress card, control your television with a remote control...

关于irl

Nathan Jurgenson考虑了对“注销现实生活”的痴迷，并促使我们重新考虑“纯离线”的想法

新的调查：内森·朱根森——爱尔兰人崇拜者

But this idea that we are trading the offline for the online, though it dominates how we think of the digital and the physical, is myopic. It fails to capture the plain fact that our lived reality is the result of the c***tant interpenetration of the online and offline. That is, we live in an augmented reality that exists at the intersection of materiality and information, physicality and digitality, bodies and technology, atoms and bits, the off and the online. It is wrong to say "IRL" to mean offline: Facebook is real life.

在winamp上

赛勒斯·法里瓦尔在温纳普15岁生日时讲述了它的传奇历史。

Ars技术：赛勒斯法里瓦尔-温纳普的悲哀：最伟大的MP3播放器如何自我毁灭

"When you think about what AOL had in early 2000," he told Ars, "the only thing that they were missing that [would be] essential to today’s media system is a hardware device. They had the number one software for playing [in Winamp], and in theory, although not in practice, the [Time Warner] content library that could have been a pioneer in streaming. And a radio service. It had all the elements. AOL could have been Spotify, it could have been Pandora."

在instagram上

最后，给Instagram用户的一个提示。

麦克斯威尼：凯瑟琳·马尔科维奇——致用Instagram拍摄食物照片的人的***。

"I think it’s best, especially in the interest of honesty and my mounting rage, to tell you that no, no, I really, truly, absolutely, do not care about you or your food. I don’t. Sorry. Take more pictures of your cat. That might keep me interested."
