ebooks as a platform will never evolve until ereaders (like these) get ~30FPS refresh rates. That's when "scrollytelling" can enter the race and could very well expand the industry into new territory.

In the current business environment, employees aren't people they're "jobs". As long as they're treated as "jobs" why do you care where they sit as long as "the job" gets done? In fact, you s

It's interesting how much this makes you want to write Unix-style tools that do one thing and only one thing really well. Not just because it makes coding an agent simpler, but because it's much more secure!
