The challenge before everyone in this medium is to monetize what they're doing. Most people in the blogosphere are too busy creating content to do that, so most don't monetize very effectively. (I don't.) But there are increasing numbers of tools to do this -- Amazon.Com announced one just today.

Now that the chip companies have got the message out, the PC makers should be following suit with new designs that make sense. And we should start seeing savings on our power bills as well.

Parallelism, which was developed at the Sandia Labs 20 years ago, is just one of many factors that have impacted technology design since then and kept the impact of Moore's Law going right along.

Enshrine these Internet values in law and you can have growth. Fail to do so, out of fear, and you will continue to stagnate, as you are stagnating now. And the world will die.

Since that structure is based on the Internet, it is inevitable that Internet values are assumed. Ideas like openness, consensus, and connectivity are taken for granted. And it's what is assumed true, not what is argued about, that lies at the heart of any new political Myth.

I just Googled the words “Ken-Mehlman gay rumors” and do you know how many hits I got? 168,000.

Carol Shea Porter was out-spent 10-1 in a Democratic primary and won it. She was given no money by Rahm Emmanuel of the DCCC and she won anyway. She ran no negative ads, she couldn't afford them. But the radio ads supporters dreamed up for her were e-mailed all over the district.
