Popcorn, please.

Waiting for thee first fully loaded jetliner goes down after a mysterious system malfunction. Hope your lawyer critters are on speed dial.

"Meta" and "Moral" in the same headline! Moral obligations might impress entities that have morals and give a damn abut anything except making money. Doubt Metabook will even notice.

I seem to recall an anti-trust suit filed by the US against Microsoft, and if I recall correctly there were some fairly rigorous relief measures imposed. I guess those have all expired, so MS is back to business as usual. So predictable.

And the world is doomed.

A rose by any other name smells like a steaming pile.

As a pilot I have trouble visualizing rush hour when "The same battery technology could invigorate so-called flying cars, a new type of electric aircraft that could ease commutes across major cities later in the decade."

Don't drug dealers' prices always go up after they get users hooked?

If one patient in 16 is getting sepsis, it sounds like Michigan Medical has a problem.

Social networking, used by the former Agent Orange in chief and his adherents, have destroyed the concept of objective truth. Remember Carl Rove boasting that truth is whatever he says? And J Goebels in the 1930s, when asked how he got Hitler elected chancellor, said he never could have done it without radio. Walter Cronkite, Ed Murrow, Dan Rather: we relied on and accepted their broadcasts to bring truth to us. And remember "science"? Now we have Faceook, Twitter "news feeds" of whatever nonsense comes into the head of anyone with access to an internet connection. Or anyone who wishes us harm.

Social media apparently damages a lot of adult minds as well.

I wonder if Mr. Cringely has heard that "the cloud" is actually a bunch of servers somewhere connected to each other, operated and managed by anonymous people and organizations who get paid to do what they do. We used to call them "contractors". In effect, using "the cloud" for your mission-critical applications is gambling on a unanimous vote of the individuals and devices required to get your work done every minute of every day. Better, I think, if you have hire and fire authority over the people responsible for you and your organization meeting its service objectives.
