I'm not quite sure what this whole openness hate is on the iPad. Let's say google comes out with the heralded ChromeOS tablet, featuring a webkit browser that is really fast and can run all kinds of different HTML5 apps. Hooray for Openness

Need some hardcore data people at Sunlight Labs in DC. If you're a data scientist, we need you. If you want to free the world from Glenn Beck and Keith Olbermann, drop me a line.

What's frustrating is-- this is an opinion piece (the guy's a professor, not a writer), and this opinion piece has no NONE, zip nada, link to the actual bill that Dodd is proposing. It's all just conjecture. Drives me nuts that the media do
