Marcel Reich-Ranicki ist tot
Man nannte ihn den Literaturpapst: Marcel Reich-Ranicki ist im Alter von 93 Jahren gestorben. Als Kritiker prägte er über Jahrzehnte das bundesdeutsche Verständnis von Literatur. Die Sendung "Das Literarische Quartett" machte ihn zum Fernsehstar, seine Memoiren "Mein Leben", in denen er seine Verfolgung durch die Nazis verarbeitete, waren ein Bestseller.

$200 MakiBOX 3D Printer
Who would have thought that we would see a $200 printer this early! Looks like the MakiBOX by Jonathan Buford is currently the cheapest 3D printer around (please correct me in the comments if there is something cheaper).

The current MakiBOX uses a 0.4mm nozzle can print 0.1mm layers.

The story was published five days ago, and by late last week I was already hearing from dozens of readers. One of them was Phyllida Paterson, of Silver Spring, Md., who wrote:
48 hours and there is still nothing in The Times about how the N.S.A. shares U.S. citizens’ raw communications data with Israel. This explosive story ought to be front-page news.

Do you really want to push more readers into the arms of The Guardian?</p>
