Robert Reich: After the Midterms: Why Democrats... →
Interesting article by Robert Reich with two interesting examples. Bill Clinton managed to serve two terms by ignoring the advice that Reich gives here but Carter also ignored this advice on his way to becoming a one-term punchline. Of course there are more differences between Clinton and Carter. For one thing, Clinton has always been charismatic and calculating while Carter has always been...

Every time I see a story like this one I’m glad that my Pre doesn’t require any of this silliness. I don’t need to jailbreak my Pre or root it in order to do whatever I want with it. I can just put it into Developer Mode by entering a simple code. Best of all, unlike Apple which tried to outlaw jailbreaking and Google which has issued legal threats of its own against rooting...
