    People far smarter than me have been saying for a long time that if you make the price of the content more reasonable and make it far easier to get, most people wouldn't bother to …

    These are all fine uses of the word. However, when you use the word "veto" in the context of the President, it implies a certain set of actions that have taken place. It actually e…

    I think I read that differently. I read it that they gathered the data, put together the spreadsheet and hosted on a .gov address. Is there an article that is more clear about that…

    It may just be the "this is the way we've done it in America" in me talking. But I'd probably be OK if we at least had some sort of instant runoff voting, or something similar whic…

    Given the length of this piece on just a small part of the book, I think you'd end up with encyclopedic tomes about Steve Jobs + Apple. This may not be a bad thing, but it would be…

    I find it interesting that you're basically calling for them to do almost exactly what they did with PalmOS back in the day. Technically that company still exists, so PalmOS still …

    The system is flawed. However, the system also does some very good work by forcing more work into smaller companies. I have had the pleasure of working for two companies doing busi…

    I also live in Minneapolis, and I see a very different thing in the social media realm than the original author. It seems to me that when someone gets a smartphone, the first thing…

    A membership in a coworking location in DC runs about $300 month, and you don't have a dedicated desk, at least in the place that I was a member. However, the social interaction of…
