Freedom (TM) is the sequel, and the author (Daniel Suarez) has a few other near-term what-if-this-all-goes-skynet books which are equally good.

Could I talk you into sharing that list? I have been thinking I should be more proactive with my congresscritters. It seems I am always sending reactive messages.

You are right on that citation. Awesome, awesome book that really opened my eyes (as a 24 year old) as to just how far things had come.

I have seen a few knife groups using this exact same reasoning - I think it just gets heard less because the firearm part of the "arms" is the hot national topic, and Congress has made very few laws that limit knives/other arms - most of th

You are honestly making a case that someone did ANYTHING that resembled research, and still didn't figure out that they made their chief competitor, who is currently doing far better than them? Sorry, I just can't make that leap. The SERP f

I, for one, am VERY excited to see the todo features that he hinted at in the article. Evernote is fantastic, and I'm not sure it would be a main todo system, but if there is an area it has been lacking, it is in the handling of todos.

Also, syncing things is not as much of a headache anymore - circa 2006/7/8, this is a great idea. In the time of Dropbox, GMail, Netflix, and Github, there is no pain pushing me away from just using 4-6 different devices. I have not run int

In the Wired article, they mention that they were able to reproduce it. It seems that is their policy, and in my opinion, that policy is the mistake. There should be no easy way to end-run user defined security like this - Mat could have th

Cue puts smarts behind all that data. Case in point: this last Wednesday, I had a going away dinner for a friend. This was put on my GCal. This came via a Facebook message. Without me doing anything, it put 2+2 together. When I opened Cue t

Apple seems to have moved away from disallowing apps for "duplicate core functionality" - we have GVoice, Sparrow, Camera+ now. I don't see how they could not allow it.

I always loved Instapaper, but the single focus killed it for me. Pocket, which looks just as pretty (if not more so - the colors do add a lot), can also handle other types of media. I would end up with about 10 videos on Pinboard, a handfu
