    I don't know, how much goes into transportation in the US? I mean, aside from the vehicles, including researching new tech for safety, advertising those features, law enforcement o…

    Calling facebook a utility is silly. Utilities are services which require the building of infrastructure, with few or no alternatives, and often which are granted a government mono…

    I have to disagree with "I don't agree, though, that this is a violation of his free speech rights. He can still speak." Freedom of speech doesn't mean that you have vocal cords. I…

    Maybe it effects his ability to work with them, and they should be removed. I don't like homophobia, though I do agree with him on diversity (based on what the article showed): tha…

    Hmm, it seems we can only nest three times. (edit) nevermind, I either missed the reply button when looking for it, or it wasn't there before, but I see I can nest further (end edi…

    While I understand that they do tailor their ads to the information in your email, it was my (perhaps naive) understanding that the particulars of your emails were not used outside…

    Hehe, I figured it wasn't actually feces, but the picture plus title put me off a bit :)

    Hmm, on the whole monetization thing, there are a lot of good services that people (myself, anyways) would not pay money for. Twitter, Gmail, others. Figuring out how to monetize i…

    Hmm, when Jobs expands the FCC and has them control all the content we have access to, some people might complain about it. I expect his response would be: "If you want porn, go to…

    This is an excellent view. The books are there to read, the art is there to view. College can motivate a person who is interested in grades, but not someone interested in the subje…
