The caliphate series was so well done. I instantly became a fan of Rukmini Callimachi. Then RCMP released that Abu Huzaifa's story was fabricated. It took NYT 2 years to admit their mistake and return their reward. The podcast was not

As usual, Pakistan makes another stupid attempt to reel in US technology companies under their control. These attempts aren't coming out of left field, rather are inspired by China, India, Austria, and a few other European powers. As I

My lawyer has been quoting this "may soon be allowed to work" for more than 3 years. My wife & I have given up on it. She's resigned to volunteering & working on hobbies. Considering how split the government is over t

I'm with you on reforming patents. But how do you protects companies from copy cats? iPhone is released and some hardware manufacturer makes the exact same shell running Symbian instead. I'm not talking about copying the OS, but t

But isn't it true for a certain segment of the population. People are searching on Twitter, Facebook, FourSquare, etc... These social search results have more credibility and relevance to me than vanilla results on search engines. If I

It's amusing watching Americans boast about working past the norm 9-5 hours and calling the rest of the world lazy. My response, "What are you proud about? After working twice as hard, you have the same quality of life as friends in Canada,

What's wrong with 9-5? Can't you be passionate about what you work on, excel in you career, yet stick to dedicating ~50% of your time awake to your job?

UI is really cool! Learned some stuff I didn't know, for instance, Pandora still profitable? The source sited for Mint isn't very credible but kudos for including it. Finally, IMO, your footer can be incorporated in the header without being

Interesting. To summarize, the article is arguing that if you pay for a service, you shouldn't be shown ads. What about your monthly cable subscription? What about Hulu? Even as a Hulu Plus member you are subjected to ads. Ads are simply an

A lot of it. The stack ranking system (the one the article mentioned is old), the fact that people are reading the Vanity Fair article secretively, etc... Most of this article is trying to paint an immensely negative picture that simply isn
