Pssst, you wanna buy a phone? {opens trenchcoat}

Call me when STEM workers have their own political party.

How about after the first debate (with a couple dozen candidates) we allow all registered Democrats to vote directly for their top 12 favorite candidates (we have the means to do this). After the second debate, they would vote for their top 10. After the third debate, they would vote for their top 8. After the fourth…

That is not a “hole” per se, as it is not all the way through the glass. Best theory is that one of the two bullet fragments that were found in the front seat area had hit the windshield. The bullet fragments were no doubt from the fatal head shot (if only three shots were fired). The “magic bullet” that was found on…

Stop trying to make socializing happen, Google.  It’s not going to happen.

The Northridge quake launched my 250 lb Trinitron a few feet off of its base.

They see you when you’re sleeping. They know when you’re awake. They know when you’ve been bad or good, so be good, for goodness sake.

I wonder how Jeff Bezos got busted for his extramarital affair. Perhaps Amazon employees are not the only ones listening? Can you imagine what J. Edgar Hoover would be doing? Can you imagine what “leverage” the President of the United States would have over his opponents? Perhaps we should juxtapose Snowden’s…

New computers universally support Linux (if you’d rather not be continuously telemetried).

The NSA likes this.

Recently posted to YouTube is an enlightening investigative report about today’s homelessness crisis.  Search for “Seattle Is Dying” by KOMO News.  People are homeless for a spectrum of reasons, and many homeless people need much more than just a roof over their heads.  

What Apple could bring to the living room is a unified entertainment system done right, simple enough for grandma to use, where everything just works with a single button, including input selection, including app launch, surround sound, closed captions, bluetooth headphones, etc.

I wish that terminated employee luck in proving it. Some CEOs have, in fact, been advised by insurance underwriters that they need to lower risk in order to avoid drastic increases in cost. Now, try to prove (or disprove) that specific IDs of risky employees are not covertly made available.

Another business process in recent years stems from pressure by health insurance underwriters to terminate employees who have become high risk. Despite HIPAA, insurance providers could be informing HR, and it would not be surprising to learn that DNA test results get fused by Big Data. The solution would be a Medicare-…

HR has likely evaluated the DNA test results of employees and has identified the ones with elevated risk of expensive medical problems. The company’s insurance premiums would double if not for a strategic culling.

List of companies to boycott ...

McCain was a “loser”. Obviously Trump was a “winner”. Let that be a lesson to those who seek to kill others for God and country (i.e., to secure the blessings of foreign resources for billionaires).

Perhaps the other astronauts were being mean to him.

In the absence of a reasonable rationale it is tempting to dismiss the notion that the hole was made deliberately by an occupant of the station while in space, but anyone who has attempted to hastily drill a hole through thick metal while not having secure footing will recognize the pattern of skippers evident in the…

Blue public positions, well, “we’ll just wait and see how this plays out.”
