The Digital Ice Age

Interesting article on "Popular Mechanics" recently:   http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/industry/4201645.html?page=1   In case you skipped reading the whole (or part) of the article, the basic concern is that in the future society may lack the information necessary to un-archive information from the present time.  This is partly due to the proprietary formats in […]

Tax Collecting for the 21st Century

  You really have to check this one out…   http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/11/09/india.eunuchs.ap/index.html   Gotta hand it to the "can do" attitude (not too mention "out-of-the-box" thinking) in India.
