Reading this just makes me think of all of the lobbying dollars and campaign contributions that must have been paid by the super-rich to get these tax breaks. Am I the only one that feels some populist rage welling up when he hears how much

I think that's an over-simplification. Call me naive, but I think that to most people, "do whatever it takes to succeed" assumes a certain baseline of ethics in the intended audience. This phrase here is meant to spur the reader to do the r

The document linked below is easily the least important page on the whole site. But without it, I would have never read the rest of it, so thank you. I think I just spend about 50 minutes getting schooled by Mr. Victor. Amazing concepts. (e

I was similarly unimpressed by how siloed and corporate everything felt during the Q & A sessions. I watched the Android fireside chat, and there was so much "we don't plan on supporting that" and "that's in the hands of our OEM partner

I think that the main argument of this post is ridiculous. "You should use an iPad to tranquilize your kids instead of a TV" If you click through to the blog that he created while in the restaurant, you'll notice that the kids weren't learn

Some applications that might be able to make use of that kind of bandwidth... You could do a lot of high-fidelity virtualization with HD Video editing, image editing, even 3D modeling. Telepresence is an obvious application. Oh gosh, if you
