I agree, I think it is very important. Unfortunately, I think it's just too far beyond people's understanding of technology. The interesting thing about it for me is that this advancement, this creation of humans, is feared. It tells us a

Yep, this part really struck a nerve: (2) the founder has to own at least 10% of a company that has raised $250,000 within the same year as the application for the Visa. This is a power trip from the VC's it's also a method by which they

Because ad networks are vectors for viruses. They slow down the web by polluting it with images, flash, javascript, cookies, tracker urls, and the ridiculous content they fund. They promote consumerism that is ruining the planet through t

Seriously, what's going on with the negative letter-spacing??

Wow, cry me a river. Apple gave them exclusivity for exactly the same reason -- more profits. Obviously you like them enough to be a customer. You could switch, why don't you?
