Who is targeting Iran’s scientists?
It's probably effective to target the scientists, but I wish they'd take out the Iranian President. It seems to me the former are just doing their jobs, where the latter is driving the crazy train.
iPhones days numbered?
If history (Apple history, that is) is any indication, something new will be along soon that incorporates all of the functionality of the device and more. What that is, I lack the imagination to...well, imagine. This could explain why I am not a millionaire.
3 lies about deficits
I don't agree with the characterization of home ownership subsidies as "cruel." It comes across as an odd, emotive label in what the author otherwise attempts to rationally discuss. I also don't agree that private capital necessarily helps the impoverished shoemaker. It will only do so if it benefits the same capital.
Recess appointments: a Presidential prerogative
The Senate is up in arms over the President's use of the recess power recently. I applaud President Obama for saying, "Enough," and taking action. (I do feel the CFPB appointment should have gone to Elizabeth Warren. If he was going to buck Congress, why not with a more powerful nominee?)
iMessage death strike for BBM…or not?
I'm not sure I agree. They are different platforms for different machines. I have a Blackberry, an iPad, and an iMac. I'm not going to buy an iPhone for iMessage.
Scribd: documenting the digital age
This is a fantastic idea. My blog got hacked a couple of years ago and due to a combination of blogging platform, inconsistent backups, and life events at the time, I may never retrieve the years worth of data. This product would serve to provide a physical backup.
Six year old told to crawl back to class…
...after slipping, breaking his leg and sustaining a concussion. This is so disturbing I emailed the Superintendent listed in the comment section. I encourage you to do the same.
RIM to license software for use on 3rd party phones
Blackberry is headed the way of Palm. Both started out strong and had a large following for some time. Both failed to adapt...and both will have gone out of business.
Vegas condos now selling for $50K
I've been sounding the alarm about the Vegas market for awhile now, using Detroit as an example of what can happen to a single industry town. Vegas is, IMHO, particularily susceptible because the Reid-Goodman-Goodman triad is doing nothing to help the city, much less the state. The market is almost assuredly going to continue to decline, despite Mr. Nason's assurance of it being nearly a "sure bet" market.
