Heh. Back in Macworld Boston 1996, I bought one share of Apple stock at $16 and got a framed commemorative stock certificate. It went into a box when I moved later that year and I completely forgot about until I found it a couple of weeks a

We'll, I'm not sure we should be spending $12B on higher education. Let's convert that to freely available online courses. If people want the full in-person college experience, then maybe they should pay for it themselves? Isn't that a bi
