    Maybe not! I wonder how much if anything was paid for this placement. And I also wonder if I should be preparing an "article" about my company. We could sure use some extra exposur…

    As a primary guide to the subject, I would recommend "The Road to Reality" by Roger Penrose.

    A thoughtful article this is. Heck, I like Typescript. I've used it in extensive experimentation and would gladly use it in production if a client or employer insisted on it. Would…

    I've not seen any indication of any "obnoxious and dishonest marketing campaign" on his part. All I know is that in his books he presents what I feel is very credible research and …

    If you're really interested in peeling back the layers of these stories, you're going to have to watch and read all the material published by David Paulides. Type "Missing 411" in …
