Damn it science! You wonder why people don’t get their kids immunized? This is why. These stories kill people’s trust in science. We need people to get their kids immunized to protect the overall herd or society.

Rightsizing: The way a douchebag says you are fired.

Obama not listening to the best minds on the matter. Military ignored on ISIS/ISL.

People keep calling the Microsoft Surface an iPad. I love it. Now Microsoft knows how Xerox rivals felt all those years the name was used as a term for paper copies. I have a couple of friends with both iPads and Surfices. They seem to work for what people use it.

Apple has eight hundred million credit cards on file. That is a heck of a user base.

People don't look happy doing what they love. They look focused. The happy comes later.

I feel safer putting my credit card online than I do handing it to a waiter.

Preemptive war in Iraq.
