The article says the developer was never named, as if that had anything to do with the actual problems. Everything about this project sounds insane & inept. Some questions in my mind while reading this article (but I couldn't find

If you give away your secret sauce recipe, no one will pay for your recipe (though some will donate), but people will still buy your fried chicken. I think open source works best when it isn't your product, but your capability. An e-co

It actually is, the Subaru logo is the 7 sisters. It created the affinity for the brand. Market research identified it, and it has of course grown with marketing. It was something I looked into back in the 90’s when I noticed such a hig

Android tablets are probably part of the problem. I still use my Sony Z3 Compact tablet. It is thin, waterproof, supports a SIM and SD card. I have never found a good replacement, though I'd like to. I mostly use it for reading ebo

I think the impact is the value of Intel MacBook Pros will be extremely high for a long time. Last I checked, most musicians don't replace their rig & buy new software because Apple disrupted their computing platform. Drivers for

The illustrative tangent is far more disturbing. It suggest that ~80% of people have no clue what causes the seasons to change on Earth. Small wonder most people believe anything on social media.
