This article struck me as rather superficial. Though quality fade and IP are big problems, I fail to see how the problems are different from early Japanese or American industry. Having lived in China for a year (Beijing and elsewhere), I ca

The book is pretty weak, I actually read it. How do these people get on Oprah? Just this interview probably sold 10 000 copies.

That sounds promising, has anyone here looked at the data on more recent experiments? Do you know of any more technical reports on the current cold fusion situation? 60 Minutes is interesting, but not exactly in-depth.

These guys are based at the same co-working station as us, Station-C in Montreal, and they seem to have an idea of what they are doing. Following the linux model. They install micro-blogging on companies intranets and then do service for th

Simply put, that is ridiculous. I find it remarkable to see apparently very intelligent people predict insane xenophobic doomsday scenarios as the future. Often, they seem to be reminiscing about a simpler past they were familiar with and h

That is amazing, I spent a year in China and the characters were so hard. I would have to try this over a long time to see if it is better than hand drawings, but it seems pretty good. How do you deal with radicals and learning related char

I think that would be near impossible to enforce, and probably not worth the trouble. Look at all the families that lie about their income and net worth so their kids can get scholarships and student-aid at expensive universities. People wi

Luxury items (fancy cars etc.) should be taxed at a higher rate than basic items. This is already done in various countries on items such as electronics, gaz-guzzlers, bread, milk, etc. I think if we taxed items appropriately, we would not

Hey, Sorry, I have not updated my profile in a long time. I used to be an environmental consultant, but am now a web-start up. So, take that for what you will. Another thing I try and do is support smaller projects rather than blindly purch

I buy the software that I use a lot, but as a startup, I end up doing a million different things and sometimes I need a piece of software that is too damn expensive (over a hundred dollars). I just cannot justify buying one of these if I am

I have to disagree with you. Military force is unnecessary and I think Einstein would agree. I doubt I can make the case better than Gandhi, so check out his writings. Paraphrasing Gandhi and Einstein, There are many causes I am willing to

Hi, Looks really good. I have recommended www.polishmywriting.com to my team before. We would probably be interested in integrating this in our ROR app, as we do a lot of writing. I just put it up on my blog and it does the trick. It did fr

Sorry to be ignorant, but how can I get the site if it requires a username and password to access? I read the wget documentation, but am unclear about this one. Thanks in advance.

Is the parsing algorithm for the location and date proprietary or is it based on something existing? If so, what?
