They nuked the entire "Ask the Movie Answer Man" section, which was one of my favorite things on the site. Even the old archives are gone. A search turns up links, but they are all broken. :-( UPDATE: I found it! http://www.rogerebert.c

The main way in which these predictions were off the mark is that media distribution in Cronkite's 2001 is still a one-way street, from news organization to individual news consumer. His future world missed the extent to which arguably the

Lost in the bashing of this professor who had the temerity not to want to pay higher taxes, is the fact that he had to invest lots of money to be able to earn his big salary. He probably has at least 7 years of higher education. His wife,

Kids tease other kids about ANYTHING. If it weren't about your name, it would be something else. Doesn't mean white society is conspiring to keep Chinese people down. And that UNC Chapel Hill thing is just disgusting. Not sure someone wh

An article like this without a single reference to the impact and influence of unions is absurd, like trying to explain the workings of the solar system without invoking the concept of gravity.

Adams, as usual, doesn't let facts and his own hypocrisy get in the way of a catchy blog post. His choosing an airline ticket took a long time precisely because he WASN'T satisfied with "less". If he really wanted less information or fewer

Actually, those guys send virtual invitations; you are going to print them out. So not the same thing. But similar in trying to undercut high-priced competitors.

Any financial analyst knows you need to look at year-on-year ("YoY") growth rates for monthly data to eliminate the impact of seasonality. For example, retail sales for a store might fall off sharply in January compared to the preceding De

Nowhere near as good as Steve Jobs' address at Stanford a few years back, which remains the gold standard for these things. This one seemed mainly like Jeff congratulating himself on the neat things he's done, with very few actionable take-

> These people receive wealth. They do not necessarily generate it. Athletes and movie stars are certainly talented, but entertainment is a place to push excess wealth and not necessarily a source of it. That is my point.

I'm a greedy, conservative capitalist and I still thought this essay was garbage. First, it totally failed to address the question of wealth received through means other than entrepreneurship: What about athletes, movie stars, heirs and he

I'd like to add something I haven't seen posted yet: Your body may not last as long as you think it will, at least not in top condition. I'm 37 and I've had lower back pain due to a herniated disc for 2 years now. There's no easy fix for

I didn't like it. Rowe has a disingenuously self-deprecating speaking style, where he says again and again how much he "got wrong", but the subtext is how smart he is for realizing certain things that the rest of us supposedly haven't. An

More B.S. from Zuckerberg. He should have said, "We screwed up. We're sorry, we're fixing it, and we won't do it again." Instead we get nonsense about how "The biggest message we have heard recently is that people want easier control ove
