Top 8 inspirational quotes

Clip Source: quotations.about.com

1) Mark Twain

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

2) Luigi Pirandello

In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream.

3) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

4) Zig Ziglar

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.

5) T. S. Elliot

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

6) Buddha

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

7) Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

8) Peter F. Drucker

We know nothing about motivation. All we can do is write books about it.

Apple cube store offends (some loud enough) Muslims

Muslim community offended by Apple's Fifth Avenue NYC Cube

Posted Oct 11th 2006 12:00PM by Laurie A. Duncan
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Retail, Cult of Mac

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reports that the glass Cube Apple erected earlier this year on New York's tony Fifth Ave, dubbed Apple Mecca by many of the Mac faithful, is offensive to Muslims due to the Cube's resemblance to the Ka'bah (aka The House of Abraham). The report goes on to say that there's a genuine belief that the design of the store was specifically meant to provoke Muslims and cites other contributing insults such Apple housing "bars" that sell alcoholic beverages within the Cube structure and it being open 24/7.

I'm speechless. But, as you know, that rarely stops me from speaking anyway. I'm hesitant to get into this territory for obvious reasons and I truly mean no disrespect to anyone, but... you and I both know that the design of the 5th Ave store has absolutely nothing to do with Islam, Muslims, Mecca, Abraham, the Kaabah or any religious icon, affiliation or idol whatsoever. It has everything to do with Steve Jobs' affinity (fetish?) for the design of the Power Mac G4 Cube (a fetish of mine also), as well as his pet NeXT Cube. We also know that the "bars" in question don't sell anything resembling alcohol.

It's unfortunate when anyone gets offended by wholly innocuous things that were never intended or designed to offend, and much more so in the current world climate, but seriously... there's no there there.

The MEMRI report is dated October 10, 2006, though it clearly was written before the 5th Ave Cube was completed, based on the references to stopping the project before it progressed. I'd like to think that now that the black panels have come down, the clear glass Cube that is NYC's flagship Apple Store is recognized to be nothing more than a den of iPodolatry, rather than Idolatry.

CLIPMARKS, competing is good!

clipclip

This is a content-clipping tool (beyond simple bookmarking) that allows you to select and save pieces from the websites you surf, like text, videos, photos, etc. It's very similar to the pioneer Clipmarks, but there are still some differences. For instance, with clipclip you can email to other people the clips you create. They will receive the actual content of your clip and furthermore: two links, one to the clipclip page where your clip is stored and one to the original website from where you created the clip.

Clipmarks, on the other hand, does not provide the feature of emailing the actual clip but just of emailing the clipmark's URL, so your friends will need to jump from the email message to the Clipmarks site in order to meet the clip content.

clipclip is very new, so it's very behind Clipmarks in terms of community and social interaction among clippers. Anyway, despite being an old Clipmarks member, I find the clipclip interface easy to use and elegant. It does not require any software installation (unlike Clipmarks extensions) but a simple bookmarklet. However, they need to improve the method to select the pieces from a website that you want to clip, since now it's a bit limited.
