Perhaps in the future a group of people will have the job of moving cars that have gone into failsafe mode, and no one else will have to drive. Take the case of elevators, originally they had manual operators who needed to make sure that th

Sadly large companies can afford to drive smaller companies out of business suspect means and then fight charges in court. The court system moves slowly and is prohibitively expensive for small companies, so the small company is likely to

Thank You to who ever posted this article. It points out how stupid college/car/etc... rankings are. I think people have a natural tendency to want to rank things, in the end it just makes us unhappy.

Who would read a blog with a title like, "HBO please let me watch Game of thrones without paying $130 a month". That would sound like whining.

That was a really interesting analysis. A malware scam with a global reach. A phone designed in California, malware written in Russia or former soviet Republic, and Banking routed through Singapore. I gained a wealth of knowledge.

malware is a numbers game. All you need is a few thousand older people that don't know any better and you can have your password sniffer / bot net , up and running in no time. While poorly written english is a red flag to some of us. Not

Products get cheaper due to automation, so people buy more stuff. Laid off workers eventually become robot technicians or designers. Some may never adapt but the same be said for any western country that has lost factories to the east.

If $153 billion was invested and some $3 billion in investments will never be recaptured, as the figures suggest, that there is roughly a 2% chance that the money will be lost. It is still good to be a VC.

It just takes one or two people to take the idea of physical punishment too far before people start calling for change. In the 1970's in the USA teachers were allowed to hit students. I would like to see a teacher try that now.

I guess now I know where comcast has been spending my subscription fees. Apparently on very expensive lawyers. Now if comcast would only upgrade there service so American broadband would be more comparable to Sweden or Japan.

For years intel claimed that developers would never port their code from x86 to a different archiecture. The recent wave of mobile devices for iOS and Android has shown this to be completely wrong. In the future DBA's that only know how to

Frequently a market can support multiple versions of a product and the presence of multiple versions of the product create the potential to increase the overall market. If there was only one flavor of linux today a lot fewer people would b

Would you rather have him claim to die as a marytr and have his friends and family claim he is in heaven with his 70 virgins. His rotting in prison sends a stronger symbol that the state can keep a man down. At least in prison he can be h

Everyone forms groups with shared behaviors and values whether they realize it or not. This is neither good or bad, but it does serve to define each and everyone of us whether we accept it or not. Most animals are driven by a desire to eat
