Literally yesterday I had conversation about the coming wave of flash to HTML5 conversion tools and services. Expect to see alot of effort going into conversion automation. Yes there will always be a need for hand crafted conversion but a l

The angle that you almost never see mentioned in discussions like this is those 0.01 percent of scenarios where "both mother and baby are doing well" isn't true. There are all kinds of risks, complications and gut wrenching, soul searing, l

I'm reading his book iWoz at the moment. In that he makes it clear he's never wanted to be a manager. He didn't/doesn't want to control other people etc. In fact, he only agreed to leave HP and join apple (after designing and building the a

Other countries give consular support to non resident citizens without ridiculous tax laws. Citizens don't get military support so I don't understand that point.

It used to be that there were two countries which taxed citizens regardless of residency, USA and Libya. Now I guess there's just one.

In 100 years I'll bet that there would still be significant social and cultural differences between hong kong and mainland China. These cultural legacies live for a long time when they are popular and widely accepted as norms.

Perhaps you're correct about status but I militate against the idea that any one human being is more valuable than another. Money, fame, glory or whatever else, you're just the same as every other human on the planet. Blood, bones and your

The comment about why they moved the calandar 119 years ago to be closer to the USA had me perplexed. I guessed it would have been too early for Samoa to get a telegraph station and therefore I couldn't understand the need to move the date.

I'll always hire a middle class guy with something to prove over an ivy leaguer. The fire in the belly is what resonates with me the most. They work harder and don't take success for granted.

Smiling might be universal across humanity but the emotional state and intent of the smile is not. For example, in some cultures, smiling/grinning is a response to embarrassment. When I was travelling in China I asked a old man for directio

Yes agree. There are plenty of cultures around the world where making direct eye contact with a 'superior', or someone older than you is disrespectful. Indigenious people from Arnhem Land Australia will signal their intention to speak with
