"I can tell you: VP8 is not patent-free," Mr. Horn said. "It's simply nonsense." These statements are conscience injections, red herrings, and convenient sound bites for zealots like Gruber to use in their "see I told you" agenda-driven opi

Having been a Flash developer and now an iOS developer, I find most of these opinion pieces to be agenda driven. Apple's camp doesn't care or what to know the gritty facts pro-Adobe, and pro-Adobe/Flash users think Steve Jobs is a dictator.

I dropped out for several reasons, one being an unstable childhood, but I don't look back on it. I am successful and generally consider myself to be a well-rounded, critical-thinking individual. None of which school had anything to do with.

What Tommy Douglas did was revolutionary, but Canada's healthcare system is no longer something to be proud of. We have some of the highest wait times for Cancer patients in the industrialized world, hurried appointments, cuts in coverage.

For sure. Google and Apple both play the good for humanity card and both have had some failure and success with aligning their strategies with the people . My only wish is that we identify the difference between tribe-mentality and logic
