Best of the Rest: Larry David's Gadget Rage, '80s Apple Concepts

There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • Larry David's back with a new season of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' and the teaser trailer should warm geek hearts everywhere as Larry goes ballistic while trying to open gadget packaging. [From: BuzzFeed]
  • Concept videos for so-called "future technologies" are usually pretty bad, but Apple was -- of course -- ahead of its time with its late '80s concept for the "Knowledge Navigator" touch-screen, hyper-connected device. Don't miss the video. [From: Snarkmarket]
  • We've all but given up on predicting where memes will go next. Case in point: the famous keyboard cat is now a printable, papercraft project. [From: TubbyPaws]
  • Here's a long read to round out the day. Pitchfork looks at the societal impact of digital audio in 'The Social History of the MP3.' Harvey writes, "This might be the most profound social shift of the mp3 era: hoarding and sharing music changed from an activity for eccentrics to the default mode of musical enjoyment for millions." [From: Pitchfork]
