Google is incorporated in Delaware. Apple (through Braeburn Capital since the mid-2000s) manages most of its assets in Nevada. They're not paying state corporate income taxes to anyone, let alone California. Perhaps they're not using any of

The 'explore the surroundings' is pretty cool also. Not to nitpick, but it'd be pretty awesome if that was all in the same page. And picasa linked up with youtube, real-time (galleries became available in the same page as you progressed)...

My favorites from college are: early dialogues of Plato (the most Socratic / least Platonic -- The Apology is a good start), Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason (on how deeply the very ideas about how we perceive things affect our under

I can't seem to reply to the comment below me in response. But basically re: Danger, one of the sample words you mentioned, is the name of a company that Microsoft bought. That's why I asked the question. My thought is that there is a psy

Ironically, one example of the dangers of bright people staying in the academy for too long (on twelve different levels). Which is not to knock academia. Or Plato. Or this paper, exactly. But I feel kind of sorry for this guy. Throughout my

Bee stings is a bad analogy. It's more like trying to retain and adapt human dignity among exponentially more inefficient human processes. I agree with this article only insofar as multiple bee stings are exponentially more painful. But I d
