The first thought that most people have when they hear about cars that drive themselves is that it’s probably a bad idea. Despite movies like Total Recall and iRobot offering a glimpse of safety as a result of auto-pilot vehicles, many are still skeptical. Is that thinking backwards?

When it comes to managing multiple sites at once, most bloggers were limited in their choices--especially using Wordpress, which has been conspicuously obtuse when it comes to managing multiple blogs from a single platform. That’s the gap that ManageWP fills.

When people think of horse tracks, they rarely consider them to be a part of the cutting edge of mobile technology. The mobile-wagering format at Santa Anita Park brings to light a form of mobile technology that we will see duplicated and innovated often in the coming years.

In a bad economy, talent is everything. So how can businesses determine when a rockstar is on the verge of leaving?

Since scientists released a rough draft of the human genome to the public in 2000, the impact of science and technology on medicine has been more salient than ever.

To use a phrase from Highlander, “There can be only one.” That is the direction that Google is heading, intentionally or not.

Just 5 or 6 years ago, there were advertisements that littered the internet for businesses to “get listed on thousands of search engines.” The statement seems ridiculous now as there are only (arguably) three that mean anything. The traffic shifted from thousands to hundreds, from hundreds to 5, then 4, and now 3 (and technically only 2). Are we seeing the same type of consolidation happening now in social media?

There are many tasks that we can either do ourselves or pay someone else to do for us. Depending on which country you live in, the level of paying for work to be done compared to the level of unpaid work performed “inhouse” differs dramatically. Does it coincide with the relative financial condition in each country?
