Parables about Parabolas

I'm Noah Tye, and this is where I share the things I encounter that stick out to me. Think of it as a collection of newspaper clippings from the web. You can take a look at my own work here.

    “This is the legend of Xerox PARC. Jobs is the Biblical Jacob and Xerox is Esau, squandering his birthright for a pittance. In the past thirty years, the legend has been vindicated by history. Xerox, once the darling of the American high-technology community, slipped from its former dominance. Apple is now ascendant, and the demonstration in that room in Palo Alto has come to symbolize the vision and ruthlessness that separate true innovators from also-rans. As with all legends, however, the truth is a bit more complicated.”
