This situation highlights a big opportunity (possibly a necessity) -- what would it take to build in satellite-based redundancy for the internet?

I'm not arguing that unions are terrible, just that the perception/marketing of unions is unfavorable for most Americans. Which begs the question: how does the "little guy" re-take some bargaining power? "Unions" under a different name?

I second Highrise. Way better than the CRMs I've used in the corporate world, and cheaper too.

Nice-looking site! I added two test recipes. One possible issue: When I click on one recipe and it expands, I don't see any way to "collapse" and go back to the complete recipe list (besides clicking "(User's) Cookbook"... Since you're alre

America definitely has its share of problems, but is it fair to say that they're worse than, say, China's or India's? I'm bullish long-term on China and India, but even more bullish on America. This seems to be a "buy when they're blood in

Absolutely better to run "to" something rather than running "away" from something.

Twitter is a communication platform. Quora is awesome for many things right now, but in no way does carry the impact of Twitter. If Quora maintains its quality, I guess it could become a "Davos-lite" of the interwebs, but that's still not
