Today scientists announced they had made a solid, non-flammable polymer to replace the liquid electrolyte that [...]
Last night I was on System Showdown talking about tech. They asked my thoughts on the Microsoft/Yahoo merger. I basically shot from the hip and said that Yahoo should stop “Dropping Landmines” and focus on not being bought out by restructuring.
It got me to thinking again on what Yahoo could change. I remembered that some [...]
