What makes America unique and strong is that few other places attract the amount of international talent that SF, and the US in general have. To my knowledge there is no other city in the world that attracts the amount of international tale

Agreed. Solving any real problem is a good problem to solve. Cell phones have changed the way Africans communicate with each other, as well as any other developing country/area, but I don't think the initial problem was to solve poor tele-c

Another interesting note is the level of innovation. Apple is reinventing the 'book' in the digital realm, by providing authoring tools for free, while rethinking what a textbook can be in the digital real (videos, interactive content, etc.

Thanks for sharing this link. For e-books I find PDF a superior format, as it maintains the original design and layout of the book best, while still having all the advantages of an e-book, searchable, etc. Appreciate that informit.com has t

Well made video that articulates an argument well, and has a positive call to action at the end. Very sensitive topic as well, wonder what potential solutions would or could be.

Exactly. I would prefer Netflix's initial friend system with an option to integrate with FB. I find there are very few of my friends whom I would be interested in their taste, and vice versa. A very small percentage of my friends would want

I agree, it seems recently that NYTimes appears to be embracing 'blogging' ethics over traditional journalistic ethics. They also have a negative bias against Apple, which I assume is purely for headline attention. (I've thought about gathe

I don't know much about Mexico or China, I was merely trying to point out that Anderson has a history of sensational controversial headlines, in Wired, and now post Wired. Mexico and China are both curious countries to study. I have not bee

Chris Anderson: The New Sensationalist. IMO, this is a weak sensationalist comparison to compare Mexico, to a emerging superpower of China. The title should be "Mexico: Learning from China's Success"

Agreed, this is why I prefer desktop rendering on my phone, because most 'mobile' sites feel like 2003 blackberry sites. iPhones and other modern smartphones can read read regular html pages fine.

We vote with every purchase, we can help by not buying meat that uses antibiotics (natural/organic/etc), and by not taking antibiotics unless the doctor strongly recommends. I tell my doctor straight up that I do not want meds unless necess

While it may not be too much sugar, it could be too few veggies. I find when I eat cabbage regularly I'm able to focus for longer periods of time. America should reintroduce veggies like cabbage back into their regular diet. Less meat, more

You didn't out grow it, I think the general high school education system is broken. Our society would like to think it's a children's medical problem, why students can't pay attention in class, when in reality it's the broken public educati

I do not know about neurofeedback, but try surrounding your child with children at their level, even if they are a bit older instead of using drugs. I'm not a believer in ADD medication, even though I've been diagnosed and prescribed ADD me

I was there last week, and still can't believe how bad it is. How can China allow this level of pollution? It is not the cars, but the coal that is doing it to the city. I hope China can find a way to create energy and produce goods without

What were the expected sales in China? My understanding that Apple changed the way people in china buy phones (greater distribution and online outlets, etc), affecting the lines. And how can a record breaking number be 'dropping the ball?'

I agree, there is very little snotty-ism compared to other cities. And one would not feel the 'anti-intellectual' nature of the city if working in certain environments, such as GATech, Emory, CDC, ect. Atlanta is a great city, and for many

Beautifully written. Almost brought tears to my eyes. The combination of art and technology is what gave Apple, and America the competitive edge for so long.
