Finding the unjustly homeless, and teaching them to write insipid feel-good tech articles.

Percival EcOnolodge August 21, 2013
Homeless
Every day driving down Silicon Valley in your chauffered limousine or Uber cab you just might catch a glimpse of a certain species of human known as "the homeless."

However, I like to think that I, and I alone, can see the rare times when there is a homeless person who does not deserve to be homeless. It's that feel you get when you know the pizza guy, the maid, the guy who installed my home theater is in the wrong place - they are smart, Caucasian even. This is my attempt to "disrupt" homelessness.

The New BlackBerry Z10 Is Great, But Not As Great As CBS's Primetime Lineup

Grieg Zandover February 12, 2013

Republished with permission from CNET.

BlackBerry was once the golden boy in the CSI (communications & services industry), only to stand by and watch as newfound rivals took over and became the talk of the town.

They'll need a big bang, theoretically at least, if they hope to remain a survivor in the volatile smartphone marketplace. Can the BlackBerry Z10 break the Apple/Android dynasty, or will that goal end up a cold case?
