But it would be much lower if these companies were held accountable for the massive environmental impacts that they have (beyond the direct impacts of a spill). Excluding things that are even "debatable" like climate change, pollution and t

It's not just composites either. One interesting innovation about lower weight comes from the way the wings are designed. Someone on Reddit explained: But the 787 wings are less stiff, proportionately to their size, than those of most other

The plane is made primarily of composite materials, allowing it to be an efficient enough proposition for the airline for me here in Boston to go direct to Tokyo. No layover. I can feel that from the passenger seat. Ok so it isn't the succe

There seemed to be a collective gasp in the room. I did too. It seems like there is a red line somewhere for digital integration, I'm not sure exactly where it is or if it is moving as people get more comfortable with technology.

There aren't many "hard truths" in this world. I would say after reading this article that newspapers have hit a bottom. Look at Warren Buffet's recent investments. The future of paying for editorial, premium content is for groundbreaking w

I was going to make the same comment... that button is way small I didn't see it, and was looking for it! Very cool app.

It is funny how regarding the polarity flip they just say "don't worry, you'll be dead.". Ok that may be true, but what would happen? If the rate of polarity switch is exponential, 10% in the last century could end up being, oh dec 12 2012?

Did not know this. The transparency of control over data needs to be much clearer. But how about if Google collects its OWN information about me. Does that fall under habeas data?

The problem is the ownership. Do you own the data or does the company you post the data on own the data? This is a decision that needs to be made, and I believe that everyone knows the answer but can't take their eyes off the dollar signs.

I watched the entire interview last night and you are absolutely incorrect. Google absolutely wants to index all of Facebook's data, and used the repricosity idea as an example to frame it as a philosophical debate between openness and wall

I agree with you about background ads. They are on the Hype Machine also and it works brilliantly. It is tougher to put into numbers because I am less likely to click on it, but I take notice of the brand and the creativity/style. It is tou

this post reminded me a lot of the Dale Carnegie book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Calling people morons and having a negative attitude won't make you many friends.
