It would be great if MIT Tech Review dropped its political agenda and just, you know, reported on technology. These "rich-getting-richer" addresses may actually be held by businesses, and the reason they are gaining more links and

A) Your argument against H-1B's is disingenuous at best. And I'm curious, are you against expanding H-1B's but in favor of increasing the amount of low-skill immigrants and/or granting citizenship to illegal immigrants? If so, how do you re

Great design is art. You can master the principles, techniques, and skills, but in the end great design comes down to vision and imagination. However that doesn't mean developers can't be really good designers. Anybody can learn how to emul

Are you serious? The Daily Show is no more "news" than Hannity is.

I don't know anything about ABC, but generally speaking, I imagine that the likelihood of a media company's internal team declaring that their own company's reporting is biased is about as likely as BP creating an internal team that reports

Al Jazeera and BBC are both solidly on the left. I'm not disputing the quality of their reporting or the value of exposing oneself to their reporting, but you're fooling yourself if you think they're neutral.

There's also a certain arbitrariness to what the media establishment chooses to cover and how they choose to cover it. It often seems as if the "news" is nothing more than what entrenched political and/or private interests want people to be

No such thing as a neutral news source. The closet thing is a news aggregator which will expose you to a variety of different viewpoints. For US political news realclearpolitics.com is pretty good. They also aggregate news on other topics b

"Rules of Attraction" was far more entertaining than this drivel.

You're grossly simplifying things. A person may be driven to succeed and generate wealth for their family because they want to be able to send their children to the best schools possible, or they want to be able to access the best medical p

The computer cycles are useful: they secure the network.

You don't need an insane amount of computing power to create new bitcoins. The amount of bitcoins generated every ten minutes is essentially set in stone. What drives people to dedicate more and more computing power to the mining process is

Krugman is an arrogant ass. He makes sweeping generalizations about topics he knows little to nothing about all the time.

Krugman doesn't understand Bitcoin. The computing power expended on mining is used to secure the Bitcoin network. There are many, many costs associated with securing the integrity of established financial networks too.

Recessions and depressions happen to economies . To critique Bitcoin for its potential to induce a recession or depression is ridiculous, because the USD -- and its influence on the economy -- isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Wow, the financial press is falling in love with writing about Bitcoin. Now that it's been linked to Cyprus there's an increased probability of Bitcoin being discussed in reference to future Eurozone economic events. Which means more mainst
