As a constant fan of CBS Sunday Morning, I’m always intrigued to see what stories they are cooking up for the weekly magazine–I know, call me “O-L-D.” This week’s cover story focused on the Connected World’s obsession with smartphones. Ultimately, this piece asks the question that some of the more reflective (and...

Have you ever seen a kid with an iPad? It’s amazing. Kids ages 3 to 13 kids jump in without hesitation. I remember over a decade ago when I worked with new computer users there was a “fear” about using computers.

All of a sudden and without any apparent explanation, the car comes to a stop. The electrical engineer says, “There must be a problem with the [...]

Gizmodo reports that the iPhone commercial forced Pacific Catch to add calamari to their menu. That damn iPhone and all of its demands. I wish I could go back to the days when I didn’t have to update my lustometer on a daily basis.
