Going along with the status quo is the exact opposite of protecting Americans, it is the opposite of saving lives, it is the opposite of preventing terrorism, and it is the opposite of freedom and personal rights.

The Verge's Windows 8 Consumer Preview
Compare the way Microsoft is bringing Metro elements to Windows to the way Apple is bringing iOS elements to OS X. For all the grumping about OS X’s “iOSification,” OS X 10.7/10.8 still look definitively like desktop operating systems, adding new features that are inspired by iOS but unique to the mouse-and-windows environment. With Windows 8, Microsoft is bringing the actual touch interface over, mapping each and every touch gesture to a mouse and keyboard equivalent. While Microsoft is getting a lot of kudos for their boldness, this doesn’t strike me as the right way to go. I’d like to use Windows 8 on a tablet or a phone, but would I want to use it on a 1920×1200 monitor with a mouse or trackpad?

A figurative “for rent” sign hangs on the front gate of John F. Kennedy Space Center.
Among the facilities available: A space shuttle launchpad, slightly used; a giant crawler for moving rockets, still servicable; two enormous mobile launch platforms; two space shuttle maintenance hangars; a 15,000-foot concrete runway, one of the world’s longest; and the blocky, 52-story Vehicle Assembly Building, with four soaring rocket assembly bays — and no waiting.
