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。

关于skeuomorphi**

为了澄清关于“skeuomorphi**”的混淆和误解，Realmac的Christopher Downer探索了这个术语及其在界面设计中的使用。

Realmac博客：Christopher Downer-Skeuomorphi**和用户界面

On the surface it’s clad in a tanned Corinthian leather texture, with stitched on tab and tool bars giving it the appearance of… nothing. As aesthetically unique as it looks, Find My Friends is based on something completely fictional, unlike similarly designed Calendar and Contacts.

《外交政策》的伊芙琳·赵（Eveline Chao）透露了中国互联网到底是如何被审查的。

外交政策：赵薇——中国互联网的五大神话

Sina Weibo users can post anything they like, and often sensitive posts will even appear in their personal feed, but the post is blocked from search results. In other words, a user might have no idea their post has been "disappeared" and their friends and other users can’t see the post in their feeds. After a term has been unblocked, it quietly reappears in users’ feeds and search results.

If the lady of the house wanted to build her family’s dinner around broccoli, she’d have to code in the green veggie as 0001101000. The kitchen computer would then suggest foods to pair with broccoli from its database by "speaking" its recommendati*** as a series of flashing lights. Think of a primitive version of KITT, without the sexy voice.

关于中村

弗兰克·利兹在《史密森学会杂志》12月刊上介绍了发明家中谷健二先生，他名下拥有3000多项专利。他喜欢的灵感流程？潜水时大脑缺氧。

史密森学会杂志：弗兰克·利兹-纳卡马特博士，他名下拥有3300项专利

Dr. NakaMats keeps his intellect free by following a strict daily routine. Every night in his NakaPenthouse, he retires to the Calm Room, which is actually a bathroom tiled in 24-karat gold. "The gold blocks out radio waves and television signals that are harmful to imagination," he says. The Calm Room was built without nails because "nails reflect thinking." After sitting calmly on the toilet for a spell, surrounded by running water, he moves to the Dynamic Room—actually, an elevator—in which Beethoven serenades him.

论开窗

最后，当我们本周在研究windows1.0的历史时，偶然发现了这篇1984年的《****》社论。

《****》：埃里克·桑德伯格的尺寸——窗户的价值受到质疑

In the somewhat pretentious pep talk of the software industry, windowing was to emulate the familiar, comforting desktop, a cluttered one at that. But it is extremely difficult to use efficiently a system that displays bits and pieces of documents in windows next to and above and below each other, like so many papers spread out in overlapping piles on a desk with just their edges sticking out here and there to identify them. So little was visible of each document, so few identifying lines, that the user often simply forgot what was hidden underneath.
