The Wall Street Journal famously has a successful non-free website. That's probably related to the fact that they're a business publication--those seem to be able to get away more easily with charging for website access--but at least it's

This guy could accept insurance, but given the way he practices, I'd imagine it would be a bureaucratic nightmare. His intent doesn't seem to be to subvert the insurance system so much as to serve the large niche of people, especially in

The argument is sort of tautological: the uncommon, huge exits that pay the bills for investors are relatively rare. Well, obviously. The author makes some attempt to establish that they're increasingly rare, but she doesn't talk too mu

Out of the top ten companies on the Fortune Global 500, Wal-Mart (#1) is the only one that's not a car or oil company. That seems reasonable, since there aren't many industries besides automobiles where you can do such huge volume on produ

A couple of the questions were surprisingly easy (e.g. find the area of a circle, given its radius), but you're right about most of it. Interesting how on the English section, the questions were basically trivia. There wasn't much at all i

Exactly. The whole cell phone industry abuses its customers like this, and what Apple is doing (with prodding from AT&T, most assuredly) is bad, but it's no different than what you'd get with a lot of other cell phones. The author shou

It definitely summarizes the article better, so you were right to use it. I blame the Magazine, not you, for its tone.

"How are college students treated in this brave new academic world? Not very well, at least not if this year's spate of bad news articles is any indication." I don't know that this year's spate of bad news articles is any indication. Col

The problem that middle-class whites have is two-fold: (a) they're poorly equipped to game the system, and (b) that's not well-recognized by colleges. The point (I hope) of affirmative action is that colleges understand that minorities are

The lawsuit notwithstanding, does anyone know if Virgin really did anything wrong here? What torts, as I'm told they say in law school. I ask because from what I can tell, they didn't quite do anything that should get them into legal hot

Very interesting take on why it's good to charge companies to present at conferences. My initial thought was that Valleywag was only covering this because they've got it out for Jason Calacanis, but their incisiveness disarmed me.

Fun at-home version of the guess-the-weight-of-the-bull experiment. Last Easter, we put a few hundred small chocolate eggs in a large jar. We had 14 people at the house, and we all guessed how many eggs were in the jar. The closest guess

I've always found religious prohibitions on "usury" to be particularly disturbing. My parents are from Lebanon and are familiar with people who've gone through life with only cash transactions. The tight-knit communities there make things

I'm no lawyer, but this seems absurdly far-fetched. Facebook needs $300-500 million so that it can pay legal costs? Cuomo's investigation seems much more like the kind of stupid headline-chasing that politicians do every so often than it

He makes valid, well-trod points about networks' recalcitrance on internet distribution, but there's a little nuance missing from his blurb on how networks pick which shows to greenlight. They want to make money, and they want people to wat
