We now know that Apple will use next week’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference to unveil iCloud, its new cloud storage product. Apple’s first attempt at cloud storage, MobileMe, was such a failure that Steve Jobs publicly tore into the Apple team for tarnishing the company’s reputation. It looks like the 2.0 version will probably be getting […]
Back in 2011 we wrote that Google is not a substitute for thinking, after Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said in an interview that Google aims to “compute the right answer” to questions typed in by users rather than just provide links.

Investigations cost money. The harder it is to find facts, the more you have to spend to figure out what’s going on. Is that why the fight against overseas bribery may be reaching a plateau? I have long believed that most corruption cases prosecuted by the U.S. government are slam dunks that are comparatively cheap […]
