&lt;p&gt;Interesting to see the effects of what lowering entrepreneurial thresholds might have on employment - or more correctly on earning a living by creating value,  bypassing the increasingly obsolete concept of employment.&lt;/p&gt;

And now, cutting funding to an organization where that funding was solely used for breast cancer screening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note: this is nothing to do with whether you are pro-choice or pro-life. This is about causing deaths in the name of pro-life.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/24/boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom/" target="_blank"&gt;Apple’s Massive Numbers And Some Context&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simply looking over the numbers, it might be hard to wrap your head around what Apple just announced for their Q1 2012 results. A company this big is not supposed to be able to nearly double revenue year-to-year. Nor are they supposed to more than double profit. But Apple did both. The numbers are so big that they almost seem like they should be typos… So perhaps it’s best to point out some bigger numbers and to frame some of them in ways to make them easier to understand. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://www.jeffdeluca.com/post/16468806961</link><guid>http://www.jeffdeluca.com/post/16468806961</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:51:58 -0500</pubDate><category>tech</category><category>apple</category></item><item><title>Say what?</title><description>&lt;a href="http://stryker.tumblr.com/post/16064438593/i-am-not-a-hacker"&gt;Say what?&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://stryker.tumblr.com/post/16064438593/i-am-not-a-hacker" target="_blank"&gt;stryker&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following is a quote from Phil Zimmerman, creator of &lt;a href="http://www.pgpi.org/doc/whypgp/en/" target="_blank"&gt;PGP&lt;/a&gt;, one of the most important pieces of 20th century technology. It’s from an interview that will appear in my upcoming book:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think that there’s something grotesque about having the internet turned upside down just for the entertainment industry. When you look at how much economic activity is driven by the internet and compare it to that of the entertainment industry—the entertainment industry is not that big! It’s a small part of it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the entertainment industry to have this control over the internet…it’s like if the auto industry was assembling cars at the command of companies who manufacture FM radios. Imagine if the people who make FM radios had absolute control over where highways can be built, and dictate crashworthiness. It’s perverse. This is an example of powerful lobbies purchasing legislation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If iOS and Android are added as potential substitutions for personal computing, the share of PCs suddenly collapses to less than 50%. It also suggests much more collapse to come.&lt;/p&gt;
