As I understand it - if I do at all - it is not the case that "Apture adds context to journalistic content". It is still the human user who does that; Apture just *displays* whatever is put inside it. And as for losing old metaphors - I still see a book, an analog loudspeaker and a few frames of celluloid cine film indicating the kind of content that will pop up. Apture is not a revolution, but it looks nice. It’s a nice idea, but is it really very different from having links open in a javascript-generated window?
