Wage slaves have figured out they are paid only a tiny fraction of what their time and efforts are worth, so they are taking extra compensation by helping themselves to office supplies.
I work in tech support at the IRS. Billions each year are thrown in fire for Microsoft software that is unreliable, and broken worse by every "fix" they send out. The Windows 10 Upgrade is a disaster. The ticketing system from HP is a waste of billions that gets in the way of doing our work. Adobe Acrobat is an unjustifiable expense now the PDF is no longer a patented technology. I could go on forever about the awful software billions have been wasted on, and how tech support is stretched way to thin trying to babysit all the junk. Instead of that, I will talk about something good. The VA's Vista system. It is the only electronic medical records system developed hand in hand with the doctors and nurses who had to use it, and the only one in the industry medical professionals don't hate. It was developed in house by the VA on the sly, as the bureaucrats never would have authorized its development. Government should stop wasting taxpayer dollars on commercial software, period.
Locking up ideas as property is ultimately no less a form of censorship than trying to suppress them. If I cannot say or write words that have been said or written before, or even something similar because someone owns those words, I do not have freedom of expression. Copyright belongs in the dustbin of history.
So, Amazon has patented a hacking method, a way to do something that should be illegal if it isn't already. Maybe they should patent a bank robbing method now.
Maybe you can cheat your way through a coding class, but one you are hired, then outed as a fraud, you will be fired. You can't hold a job with skills you do not possess.
I work at a help desk for a hospital and Physician's office network in Cincinnati, Ohio. Technology, as a boat anchor stopping people in their tracks, is especially bad in healthcare. The network here behaves like two cans and a string, especially since they piled on it with thin clients that have n internal storage and zero clients that are really just dumb terminals. Also, many full-fledged PCs are really showing their age. On top of that, most people who have to use the computers are intimidated by them, especially when dealing with Epic, an electronic medical records software that is obscenely complicated and unwieldy, but has somehow become the industry standard. There are also other software packages that complicate tasks that used to be simple.
Even people like janitors and cooks who need supervisors to dial the help desk for them are expected to use the computers to due tasks like check their now paperless pay stubs, and sign off on performance reviews. It seems computers have been simply thrown at problems they are not the right tool to solve, and created problems that did not previously exist. This is at a system that some magazine named the most wired in the region, or maybe it was the most wired in the industry. This distinction does not seem award worthy from my perspective.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution, known as the Copyright Clause, empowers the United States Congress: To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.
Pop music and Hollywood movies aren't science and the useful arts. They are only frivolous entertainment. Also, "limited times" meant 14 years, renewable once for 28 in the original 1790 copyright law. Now, with extensions passed every 20 years to keep Steamboat Willie out of the public domain, it is virtually perpetual. This locking up ideas asp property is no less a form of censorship than trying to suppress them, and does not promote progress at all.
Electronic medical records, and other use of computers mandated by Congress have been the bane of health care's existence. The one thing EPIC and all other EMR software companies need to dedicate themselves to is ease of use. To say they are complicated for doctors, nurses and administrative staff to use the the greatest understatement ever uttered. I know, because I work at a medical company's call center. A blockchain isn't going to help ease of use at all.
Do you know what spot crosses the Cincinnati and Kentucky border? The Ohio River. Are they building a floating warehouse? The author should have done some more homework before writing that they will build on land that does not exist. The source of the confusion may be that the airport that services the Cincinnati region is in Kentucky. Local politicians fighting kept it from being built in Ohio. It is like the New York football stadium which is actually in New Jersey.
Another thing that makes that airport confusing is that its abbreviation is CVG, which stands for Covington when the airport is in Florence, but Florence really wasn't a thing yet when the airport was started.
Now, call centers in India will be hearing from people with top secret information, and connecting to their computers, until the Chinese and Russians hack the accounts, then the Pentagon will be leaking data to them.
The recording industry is as obsolete as buggy whip manufacturers, and pop music is something frivolous that is highly overvalued. That billion is way too much.
I wonder if Google will be smart enough to distinguish parody and satire sites vs. ones that exist to libel and slander political foes. It will be a lot less fun to do my website if I have to beat it over people's heads with THIS IS A JOKE on every story I write.

Teen pop is crap. Always has been, always will be. It is a disposable manufactured commodity, not art.
I don't know why everyone bashes the Windows Phone. I love mine! It is the perfect size to shim up that old table in the den with the short leg.
Social psychology is essentially a pseudo-science. I don't expect future studies to confirm this at all.
Cos it is close to us. We like the moooooon! http://www.rathergood.com/moon...
Americans are stupid. Keep this in mind if you are marketing to them. Call a clothesline a solar powered or wind powered dryer, and charge more.

No individual will ever come up with the stupid ideas a committee will.
If you think reality is just a computer simulation, you have probably been toking a bong while watching The Matrix. Put the bong down.
