    All in all, the virus-like components of the human genome amount to almost half of our DNA. This would once have been dismissed as mere “junk DNA”, but we now know that some of it plays a critical role in our biology. As to the origins and function of the rest, we simply do not know.

    Stewart Brand, years ago: “And the larger fear looms: we are in the process of building one vast global computer, which could easily become The Legacy System from Hell that holds civilization hostage — the system doesn’t really work; it can’t be fixed; no one understands it; no one is in charge of it; it can’t be lived without; and it gets worse every year.” Does that sound familiar? It’s sounds plenty familiar if you’re talking about the global economy now, but that’s not what Stewart was talking about.

    “Today’s bleeding-edge technology is tomorrow’s broken legacy system. Commercial software is almost always written in enormous haste, at ever- accelerating market velocity; it can foresee an ‘upgrade path’ to next year’s version, but decades are outside its scope. And societies live by decades, civilizations by centuries…”

    \x0a Bollywood guys. I think everybody on Twitter should follow at least some celebrities. Celebrity-followship is a major part of the Twittersphere. I wouldn’t dream on wasting any time on Demi or Oprah, but Bollywood fan culture is fascinating. The hero-star contingent are getting a little more boring since they’re getting the hang of it, but those first few months, when they were just sorta blurting out whatever they wanted off the Blackberry, that was awesome. You really get a feeling for Bollywood stars as a semi-solid, political-feudal caste from a massively populated, deeply troubled, hugely resilient, titanic emergent world power.\x0a

    Required reading. Always.  Bruce is dangerously smart. He can draw connections between everything and point you in the direction its going.

    I think it’s depressing that Judd Apatow makes the best romantic comedies and they’re about men. All power to Apatow, but he’s taken and repurposed one of the few genres historically made for women….
