Benjamin Brooks talk about Readability business model after having follow a conversation on Twitter.

“Are we really going to accept an Interface Of The Future that is less expressive...”
– Bret Victor - A Brief Rant on the Future of Interaction Design
A very very interesting post about why the touch interface should hopefully not be the only future of interaction. It must go beyond and be closer to how we embrace everything on a daily basis without even noticing it. A must read.

“One of Jobs’s many gifts was that he knew what to give a shit about.”
