Outliers: the story of success

Monday, 23 November, 2009

@TitleMalcolm Gladwell poses a provocative question in Outliers: why do some people succeed, living remarkably productive and impactful lives, while so many more never reach their potential? Challenging our cherished belief of the "self-made man," he makes the democratic assertion that superstars don't arise out of nowhere, propelled by genius and talent: "they are invariably the beneficiaries of hidden advantages and extraordinary opportunities and cultural legacies that allow them to learn and work hard and make sense of the world in ways others cannot."

Cellphone Apps Challenge the Rise of E-Readers

Friday, November 20, 2009

With Amazon’s Kindle, readers can squeeze hundreds of books into a device that is smaller than most hardcovers. For some, that’s not small enough. Many people who want to read electronic books are discovering that they can do so on the smartphones that are already in their pockets and save the $250 to $350 that they would otherwise spend on yet another gadget.
