Bullshit, pure and simple bullshit. Google censors Adwords with an iron fist and censors sites displaying their ads the same way. Google is far and away the largest censor on the Internet. No one else is even close. Google also censors through page rank. It has been shown time and again that page rank is used to highlight things Google likes and bury things they don't.
What do Apple and Facebook even Censor? they have nothing like Google's power to censor and Google certianly flexes their censorship muscle far more than anyone else.
Please name a single thing that Apple has censored on the web? Facebook? Yeah, that is what I thought.
So you are saying he was not talking about all of the things that make his argument look ridiculous and self-serving. Check. Since Facebook does not even make an OS, I suggest you are simply full of crap trying to defend the indefensible.
Indeed. What he missed is Google is the biggest threat to Internet freedom. No one else is even close. Facebook and Apple are the biggest threats to Googles bottom line. He has become such a pathetic shill. (Ok become is not really true. He always has been).
To add just a bit. The distinction is important because it allows for creativity. I continuously come up with solution to problems I can't verify, then I set out to try and prove them. If your definition was accurate, I would simply reject them out of hand.
I don't reject anything that is not 100% fact based. I simply do not accept anything that can not be 100% proven with facts. It is a huge distinction. Tell me how my psyche is being damaged by not believing in fairy tales?
I agree. I also do not believe in any of it. I have had people that believe in X tell me I must believe secretly in X too. They are obviously just trying to justify their own beliefs.
I am yet to see anything that is unexplainable. I am only 40, the Universe has 40-50 more years to try and convince me.
You should blame the flight attendants and their union. They drove AA into bankruptcy and routinely out negotiate the Pilots. Bizarre really. Despite all oftheir claims about being there for passenger safety, they have very little to do with it.
The whole study is silly so it does not matter what the green bars mean. However, I see your point. The premise is false. The methodology is flawed. I am sure we should expect to see this study all over the national news.
What a silly list with no basis in reality. I suppose if you have no ambition or drive that is a good place to start. Otherwise, do something you love. Besides, the #1 job in the world is CEO. Requires no skill, little formal training, and the pay is pretty good.
I have flown 2+ times a week for the past 15 years or so. I usually stop what aim doing too. Never really thought about why. However, I woul love to continue reading my kindle during the 45 minute taxis to takeoff.

Better get that dosage cranked up a notch.

We all have to be irrational to be creative, the distinction comes from believing your irrational thoughts or trying to confirm/disprove things.

Magical beliefs are almost exclusively used to make people feel better about something...
Anthropomorphizing a computer is not magical thinking either, it is a method of communication.
Of course they absolutely are not. In fact they are all almost purely rational.

I think there were still 1 or 2 holdouts in the 80s :).
The world would be a happier place if there was no religion.
Cool stuff. Certainly has potential.
While I disagree with Monsanto, your assertion that Mom & Pop farmers make this country great had not been true for 30 years.
I use a Bluetooth headset with Skype on the iPad all the time. Why do people think it is ok to just make things up.
This is key. They never claim it is actually more likely to shatter.
Adobe gave up on mobile flash (because it sucks), maybe it is time for you to give it up too.

It is a sad day for Ars and /.
Maybe they like it up there.

Apple also registered the design in 1993. Probably where this guy got his idea.
