When a reporter asked what market research went into the iPad, Mr. Jobs replied: “None. It’s not the consumers’ job to know what they want.” http://mobile.nytimes.com/article;jsessionid=6B2AB906BAFEF88FD4A1B1683ABD0B0A.w5?a=832773&f=24

What I Learned In Joplin
thedeadline: I’m going to write this in a stream of consciousness, the same way I experienced Joplin. It was my first time covering — more accurately, trying to cover — a disaster. The National desk knows I am a weather geek, so I came close to covering the tornadoes in North Carolina in April, and then the tornadoes in Alabama earlier this month. But the timing wasn’t right in either case. ...

A capitalist society requires a culture based on images. It needs to furnish vast amounts of entertainment in order to stimulate buying and anesthetize the injuries of class, race, and sex. And it needs to gather unlimited amounts of information, the better to exploit natural resources, increase productivity, keep order, make war, give jobs to bureaucrats. The camera’s twin capacity, to...

Rework
Instead, make choices that are small enough that they’re effectively temporary. When you make tiny decisions, you can’t make big mistakes. These small decisions mean you can afford to change. There’s no big penalty if you mess up. You just fix it. Making tiny decisions doesn’t mean you can’t make big plans or think big ideas. It just means you believe the best way...

Apollinian and Dionysian Perspective
[…] Nietzsche accentuates that the development of art depends largely on the duality of two forces, namely, Apollinian and Dionysian that constitute the dichotomy between creation and destruction. Apollo’s illusory world with unified imagery, which indicates ‘things as mere phantoms or dreams’ (1967:34), stands here for a mimetically represented world. On the other hand, we have a...

Homenaje de Alejandro Dolina a Néstor Kirchner
El peronismo ha sido muchas veces integrador, o actor principal de acuerdos de concertaciones políticas.

Algunos llegan a decir que en realidad todos deseamos lo mismo y que discrepamos acerca de las metodologías. Se ha llegado a sostener no hace mucho, que las ideologías han muerto y...
