Sphere is not a system for interacting with the user, rather it is a system for managing and organizing a user interaction system.
In developing Sphere I did not look to history or endorse the continuation of a single course of evolution from the time before I was born but rather I looked closely at how computers are built and used today.
The User interface sphere may also provide facilities to run commands like any other shell, though any number of techniques can be employed by this sphere on any number of devices at any time, which may or may not include classic utilities, or may accomplish the same ends through data "workbenches".

 robhyndman.com » Blog Archive » On the Inevitable Commercialization of the ‘Sphere   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The issue is troublesome because the ’sphere’s appeal is fuelled at least in part by its authenticity - an authenticity that tends to be, um, lacking in much commercial speech, which is by nature oriented towards persuasion and advocacy.
There’s no question that this is at some level an interesting issue - even just the anthropology of the rapid evolution of a new form of media is reason to pull out the popcorn and grab a ringside seat (’Hey, look - the world just changed!’).
Another example: much of what I read on the ’sphere has been deliberately sensationalized by the writer for the purpose of attracting attention, obviously for the purpose of building a readership that can be monetized in some way.

This reduction in the interest rate is likely to give a political mileage to the NDA forces to exploit the resentment among the workers.
Therefore, it is necessary that the social security funds should be accorded a differential treatment in the sphere of interest rate and not forced to mechanically toe the banking system.
Though the NDA regime had announced an interest rate of 9.5 per cent for the previous two years, the relevant government notification on that had not been issued.

 The Identity of Indiscernibles (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
In that case the Principle is consistent with a universe in which there are three qualitatively identical spheres A, B, and C where B and C are 3 units apart, C and A are 4 units apart and A and B are 5 units apart.
So what might be described as a journey from one sphere to a qualitatively identical one 2 units apart could be redescribed as a journey around space back to the very same sphere.
The upshot is that it is not merely the two spheres we took to be indistinguishable that are said to be identical but all three, including the middle one which seemed clearly distinguished from the other two by means of a pure relational property.

We would then keep the area that was established as German sphere of interest at Moscow under military occupation.
We would naturally, however, for military reasons, also have to proceed further against such Polish military forces as are at that time located in the Polish area belonging to the Russian sphere of interest.
Please discuss this at once with Molotov and see if the Soviet Union does not consider it desirable for Russian forces to move at the proper time against Polish forces in the Russian sphere of interest and, for their part, to occupy this territory.

 Virtual Communities: Abort, Retry, Failure?
This division of interests, loss of common historical consciousness, weakening of shared beliefs, and lessening of ecological responsibility is what necessitates alternative approaches to understanding community.
According to Habermas's (1989/1962) definition of the public sphere as a forum for rational debate within a sphere of competing ideas, public discourse is aimed at achieving consensus.
However, the bounded nature of virtual community as we have defined it by topic of interest can indeed be a transnational, transcultural phenomenon that is essentially antithetical to the notion of the American collectivity as a public sphere.

Of all the affairs we participate in, with interest or without interest, the groping search for new ways of life is the only aspect still impassioning.
According to the Situationist Asger Jorn, subjectivity is a point of view inside matter, "a sphere of interest", and not necessarily that which is equateable with the individualised ego.
Copenhagen Free University is "a sphere of interest" arising from the material life we experience and will always already be politicised before any citizenship.

 Powell Says West Not Interfering in Ukraine, Georgia

Secretary, President Putin said yesterday that the United States is playing "sphere of interest politics" in the former Soviet Union in the name of democracy.
You can have friends to the East and to the West and it is not a matter of a "sphere of influence." It is a matter of allowing a country to choose how it wishes to be governed and who it wishes to have as its friends.

 GFP BUNNY
Transgenic art, by contrast, offers a concept of aesthetics that emphasizes the social rather than the formal aspects of life and biodiversity, that challenges notions of genetic purity, that incorporates precise work at the genomic level, and that reveals the fluidity of the concept of species in an ever increasingly transgenic social context.
In other words, what is important is the completely integrated process of creating the bunny, bringing her to society at large, and providing her with a loving, caring, and nurturing environment in which she can grow safe and healthy.
But even outside the sphere of taming a similar contact between men and animals sometimes takes place--with men who have in the depths of their being a potential partnership with animals, not predominantly persons of "animal" nature, but rather those whose very nature is spiritual".
