Going to DC and getting your picture taken in front of the White House is not effective activism. It's really embarrassing how out-schooled we're getting because the bad guys have better lobbyists . How many tweets do you think it takes to

There's no protected right to drive anywhere in the constitution. That's why you have to get a driver's license, why it can be taken away, and why you can be pulled over. Driving is a privilege, not a right.

We don't need to ban electronics for drivers. We need to ban drivers from cars. Banning electronics to prevent tragic accidents is like banning cigarette lighters to prevent lung cancer. Our roads are littered with death: http://map.itowor

You can advertise the features of a product, but if you do then those features better show up in the product. If the features don't, then what's the point?

Values are a feature of a product just like any other. Of course a product can compete on values.

How much do you think Bar.com is worth? Seems like a domain that'd sell for a pretty penny.

It'd be interesting to see whether or not Apple changed the Siri protocol since the acquisition. Was this originally how Siri worked when it was independent? Because Siri has roots in government contracting (it's named after SRI Internation

I'm glad to see Apple making at least some moves towards contributing socially. One thing I really admire about Google is how much of their resources they contribute to good causes -- whether it be apps for non-profits, Summer of Code, or G

Judging by the tone and language of this critique, it sounds more like a bitter ex-employee who "didn't feel appreciated for his brilliance" than an honest effort.

Here's what I don't get -- why have the display to begin with? Why can't the whole thing be programmable via API/Web/Mobile App/Watch/Whatever. Ideally that's what I'd like -- some kind of intelligent device that lives inside of my house th

"keep schools open until 6" is one of these things that clearly demonstrates that people really don't understand how government works. If you want your schools open until six, take it up with your school board, not the freakin' president.

The reason I'll use dropbox over google drive? I'll store my files with a company that makes it's money from fees vs one that makes it's money from ads.

How is this a scam? FreeConferenceCall.com isn't lying to anybody. It seems like it's taking advantage of a regulation to charge telecom companies rather than consumers for a free service. With poor customer service, really anti-consumer be

To my understanding the antennas in the phones are incompatible though. What I'm aiming for here is what the FCC was aiming for when it released this spectrum: device/carrier interoperability.

If they made AT&T agree to use sims and antennas compatible with Verizon's LTE network, that seems worthwhile.

I find the name and the portrayal of women pretty offensive. At least replace one set of lips with some male six pack abs, so that you can then insinuate that both men and women are whores. Regardless, it certainly screams to me "web page s

I don't think it's appropriate to try and make money from it, or make anything "fun" with it. There are millions of people who really can't see the humor of anything that has anything to do with Hitler. I would consider redirecting it to hi
