One of these numbers represents the cash flow of an entity that is perhaps the most well-oiled, fine-tuned cash machine the world has ever seen.
The other represents the operating balance of a broken machine tied down in bureaucracy.

An excellent examination of the economy’s impact on the deficit and an unlikely prescription for improving the deficit — spending more. Unfortunately it takes a bit of a dark and cynical tone, but the reality is that there ”’is”’ a path forward. It’s just not being taken.

There’s been a lot of shamefacedness and embarrassment on Twitter from people who tweeted the false news that Piers Morgan had been suspended from CNN. I can see why: a lot of the tweeters were professional journalists, foremost among them Channel 4 News’s Jon Snow. And professional journalists hate to report something that’s wrong.
That said, one of the things I like about Twitter...

Brilliant idea for use of a QR code! I think I’ll make one to post in our house on the wireless router.
I just found this site when looking for ways to make QR codes in vector format.
QR Code viruses can’t be far behind.

I'm really liking having a laptop in the office
It’s been a while since I’ve done this. It’s great to be able to work away from my desk, distraction free, for a little while. Really nice.

I would really like a Spotify iPad app
I no longer sync music with my iPhone from iTunes. I use Spotify instead. I’d like to be able to do this with my iPad. Please.

Is there a way to have Safari switch tabs with...
This is the one thing that’s holding me back from Safari being my “one browser to rule them all.” I’m so used to being able to hit cmd-# for a specific tab, and in Safari that key combination just calls up the corresponding bookmark in the bookmarks bar.
The cmd+{ and cmd+} shortcuts are much less efficient when you have more than a couple tabs open at a time.
