A veritable linksplosion culled from the 32 best ‘Steve Jobs resigns from Apple’ articles, according to Fast Company’s Adam Penenberg:

 Everything that needs to be said of Steve Jobs has already been written. Here’s the most meta version of the story you will read online, offline, and everywhere else.

Steve Jobs: A Mega, Meta Appreciation (Fast Company)

‘Man Alive’ (incorporating ‘Profile’).

Issue 2.

A legal alternative to pot, a profile of Conor Cruise O’Brien and Christy Brown’s “view of the north” (literally written with his left foot). AND the Dickie and Dotty story.

There may not have been an issue 3.

Meanwhile, inside:

Man Alive (Brand New Retro)

When Star Trek: Enterprise was cancelled in 2005, it marked the end of an era during which  there was at least one Trek series on air continuously since 1987. In 2009, J.J. Abrams introduced the franchise to a new generation of fans. Time for a new TV series? David Foster of 1947 Entertainment is about to pitch the first serious contender:

Although Foster was reluctant to spill too many details, he revealed a bit about the plot:

The series is highly energized with a much younger cast, and uses cutting-edge future technologies with newly envisioned special effects and designs. It includes Klingons, Ferengi, Andorians, Vulcans, Trill, and many more. The Klingons are getting very restless since the Praxis incident forced them to come to the peace tables, and are tired of having to rely on the Federation for support. The Ferengi have discovered a vast new resource that has propelled them towards instant riches and power beyond anything they have previously experienced.
