Would you mind disambiguating DC, best I got is data-center, which doesn't make a bunch of sense. I do like that quote though.

I've been thinking about CNN+ a decent amount recently and wonder if the primary issue with the product was that it wasn't primarily a live product. It's my thinking that the best aspect of CNN is when it covers live breakin

I enjoyed The Tipping Point and was excited to read Blink but did not enjoy it nearly from the beginning. It was simply too much cognitive dissonance for me to continue when your point 2a kept being explained. Admittedly I did not finish t
