Amazing. Dan Harmon on being fired from Community. Major bummer because for my money it is the best comedy on television.

Pottermore has similar arrangements with Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, Sony Reader and Google. Pottermore hasn’t reached an agreement with Apple yet.

Am I the only one who sees Pottermore joining an event were an iBooks created version of Harry Potter is unveiled with iOS 6. I’d love to see a creative and immersive Harry Potter experience on iBooks. And I’d buy them all over again.

The bigger problem here is the lack of settings found on mobile devices and websites. I’ve been frustrated by this with several apps. The perception of an iPad (or even an iPhone) as a “mobile device” limits it’s usefulness as a standalone device. Devs are tethered to the mentality of just the basics.

The more I use Google Search on iOS, the more I want Chrome on there. Safari just feels so basic still. Probably the omnibar, or lack thereof.

At the very least Google could use some URL wizardry to open links from Gmail in it. Maybe even open it in a better way to developers.

Something that is very concerning to me. Kids don’t go to college with a purpose anymore. Just to get away from parents and magically become employable. And in doing so they take on majors without a thought to how it might make them employable.

Things like Khan Academy and Treehouse will continue popping up to serve young people with a purpose and a conscience about how they spend.

Surprising, but good. It’s easy to get caught up in anecdotes about tragic death and forget that these things happen outside of the world of football.

Essentially, Kessler won’t act because he’s afraid to disrupt his own current cash cow. But by failing to act, he’s ensuring it’s going to be disrupted by someone else. Either you disrupt your own business on your own terms, or you get disrupted by someone else on their terms.

This. The arguments about why these companies shouldn’t change are sane. But they’re flawed. And they will resume in failure.

Great story. Just heart breaking. Every second I think about this I find it harder to understand. And harder to be excited about football.
