THIS WEEK'S TOP POSTS
The Future of iOS Design? by @destroywerk
Apple's next mobile OS isn't due until mid-fall, but designers are already abuzz with speculation: How flat will Jony Ive's icons be? Pretty flat, says user-interface guy Tim Green, since we know what a virtual button looks like in 2013, and "don't need to be led garishly by the hand."
"Not Another Damn Post About Gatsby!" — Everyone by @AlexMLeo
Baz Luhrmann isn't the only director to have brought the English-class sleeper to the big screen, but he might be the first whose adaptation gets a "summer of Gatsby" marketing push. Alex Leo takes off her Reuters hat to complain about it, while other writers remember Gatsby-fueled operatic dreams and high-school delusions of East Egg grandeur.
Dr. Isis's Feminist Awakening: Understanding the Patriarchy in Scientific Academia by @drisis
Dr. Isis, the exercise physiologist and blogger, tells a tale of "zygotes and whoa" from her PhD years, when she got grilled about being "Mariah Carey pregnant." And she does so in the new women-in-tech collection, LadyBits, where you can also read Rachel Sklar's Mindy Kaling tribute and Shane Snow's hug-versus-handshake breakdown. (Ping @arikia if you want to contribute to LadyBits.)
GUN RIGHTS & WRONGS
The fight over gun control has reached an impasse at the federal level, but it continues in statehouses, on the ground, and in Medium's Gun Rights & Wrongs collection: Bonobos founder Andy Dunn says guns are anti-American because they empower aggressors and erode victims' rights; Medium's Chris DeSalvo counters that guns are used more frequently in self-defense than they are in acts of aggression; and Martin McClennan ventures into sardonic territory with "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Mr. Wesson Goes to Church."
