I think it's important to emphasize that the beginnings of "failing one's way to success" started with many quotes from Thomas Edison. It's usually a bad idea to generalize any quotation to a rule, but I think in this specific case, it mig

I really didn't care much for the original post, and I could care less about this one too. I DO care about any engineering accomplishments Zed has to offer (almost all are great) - but that's about it.

Excellent article describing what could be the biggest advance in the web since the launch of Google. However, I wonder if it will be inundated with 99% of the questions being about who Miley Cyrus's current boyfriend is - or some other fr
