rather beautiful to watch and listen
Apple has a phone ready to sell. Probably a decent product.
But you can be sure that it will have a cult following even if it's total crap. I'd bid for the franchise to sell them to art-school hopefuls and culture tragics, who are thick and gullible enough to buy anything that looks trendy.

You can listen. Listen. And read. And listen

Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road
The road winding above among the mountains
Which are mountains of rock without water
If there were water we should stop and drink
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
Sweat is dry and feet are in the sand
If there were only water amongst the rock
Dead mountain mouth of carious teeth that cannot spit
Here one can neither stand nor lie nor sit
There is not even silence in the mountains
But dry sterile thunder without rain
There is not even solitude in the mountains
But red sullen faces sneer and snarl
From doors of mudcracked houses
If there were water
And no rock
If there were rock
And also water
And water
A spring
A pool among the rock
If there were the sound of water only
Not the cicada
And dry grass singing
But sound of water over a rock
Where the hermit-thrush sings in the pine trees
Drip drop drip drop drop drop drop
But there is no water
Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded
I do not know whether a man or a woman
- But who is that on the other side of you?
From The Waste Land TS Eliot 1922
Not all people say "ummm" or "errr"
rumour has it that Mr Paul Frederic Simon, musician, composer and wordsmith, appears to have worked with Mr Brian Eno, (Roxy Music, Fripp & Eno, producer of numerous David Bowie and Talking Heads albums, even more U2 albums, even an INXS and a Suede album, and of course composer of the Micosoft Windows startup sound...).
The fruits of this work are alleged to be a new Paul Simon album.

Why do so many symbols in different alphabets have common characteristics?
It seems we are hard-wired to recognise symbols and shapes from nature.
This article explains all.
Remarkably, the study revealed regularities in the distribution of (topological) shapes across approximately 100 phonemic (non-logographic) writing systems, where characters stand for sounds, and across symbols. "Whether you use Chinese or physics symbols, the shapes that are common in one are common in the others," said Dr Changizi.
For comparison, the team studied the shapes found in the real world, such as the Y shapes seen at the corner of a cube, or the simpler L and T shapes found in the branches of trees, yurts, huts, tepees and simple dwellings and so on.
