Please tell me why the fuck age should make a difference.

Old people are no good at everything.

Here's an innovative idea: use a spelling or grammar check. I had to give up reading the articles because they're so badly written. For example:

"The challenge is, once you've got all these bookmarks, how do you manage them? The problem were really dealing with is memory and recall, and using technology to make your memory more scalable."

What the heck does that mean? (Yes, it's probably meant to be "we're", but, sheesh, what happend to editing?) I am not a grammar-monkey, but poorly written articles do tend to make be question their credibility.
