quoted.today: Goliath vs. Goliath; Work-work imbalance; CNN’s prez polls
First polls are in, CNN reports that “Fiorina ranks second with 15% support — up from 3% in early September” (19 shares). Trump is still in the top spot, even after dropping 8% to 24%. “In a jampacked GOP presidential field, the [3] leading candidates are the only ones who have never held political office” (16).
The Verge thinks Apple’s new ad-blocking capabilities is just the latest attack in a battle between tech goliaths. But first, work sucks more than it has to.

A Toxic Work World by Anne-Marie Slaughter for the New York Times (2,819 tweets, 114 unique quotes.)
“Bad work culture is everyone’s problem, for men just as much as for women” (17 shares) because “our workplaces do not fit the realities of our lives” (21). When companies favor young people who do not need to care for others and then pass them off when they either become parents themselves or care for their own, “we hemorrhage talent and hollow out our society” (14). “To be fully competitive as a country… we have to emulate other countries and build an infrastructure of care” (3).
Welcome to hell: Apple vs Google vs Facebook and the slow death of the web by Nilay Patel for the Verge (4,396 tweets, 111 unique quotes.
“Google has the web, Facebook has its app, and Apple has the iPhone” (14). “The dominance of the iPhone and Mobile Safari give Apple ‘veto power’ over the web” (3). Google largely controls advertising on the internet, and “iOS 9 is Apple’s attempt to fully drive the knife into Google’s revenue platform” (13 shares). Now Apple will search news outlets directly, and display the results in Apple News with ads that they control (for a 30% cut). “It is going to be a bloodbath of independent media” (44), specifically those that can’t make deals and publish across multiple platforms.
