Here are links I found interesting on August 24, 2011:

• Steve Jobs’s Best Quotes – I think the title says it all. Just remember folks: he's not dead yet. Stop talking about him as if he is. It's creepy.
• Jobs’s Departure Is the End of an Extraordinary Era – Putting the significance of Steve Jobs and his achievements into perspective.
• 12 Types of Bad Tech Names – Fun article about product names.
• iPads Replacing Pilots’ Paper Manuals – "The Federal Aviation Administration has authorized a handful of commercial and charter carriers to use the tablet computer as a so-called electronic flight bag. Private pilots, too, are now carrying iPads, which support hundreds of general aviation apps that simplify preflight planning and assist with in-flight operations."
• United Pilots Get iPad Flight Manuals – "United Airlines said on Tuesday that it would give iPads to the 11,000 pilots who fly United and Continental Airlines planes. The new iPads are being labeled electronic flight bags, or E.F.B., and the airline said they would completely replace the pilot’s paper flight manuals." Don't miss the paragraph about how much weight and fuel the switch to iPad will save.
• The New Apostolic Reformation: The Evangelicals Engaged In Spiritual Warfare – "An emerging Christian movement that seeks to take dominion over politics, business and culture in preparation for the end times and the return of Jesus, is becoming more of a presence in American politics. The leaders are considered apostles and prophets, gifted by God for this role." I don't know about you, but I find this frightening.
