From the page: "It was an...interesting year for the auto industry to say the least, and we've seen a lot of changes, both in the U.S. and abroad. Some of the losses have been painful, but in the end, we're hopeful that they'll spur growth and development down the line. And if not, we'll have enjoyed kicking them around in our spare time." - J.D. Rucker

The statement could be pushed over to just about any true Web 2.0 site where voting and popularity determine the success of a piece of content. Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace – overrun by spam. Mixx, Propeller, Yahoobuzz – spam havens. - J.D. Rucker

World War II had a ways to go, but the industrious folks in Sweden figured they should have another car company. At least the people at Saab did." - J.D. Rucker

From the page: "I am writing this as a person who has not spent a single day in my (almost) 38 years without health care coverage - good health care coverage. For many of those years, I never gave it a thought at all. I grew up with parents who worked hard, and gave their children everything they needed to succeed. If I had a cold, I went to the doctor's office. When my brother broke his arm, he went to the emergency room, and the next day to the orthopedist, just to check it out again. If we needed medicine, my dad just picked it up at the pharmacy on the way home. On Feb. 25, 2002, what I had once considered a given, one of those things that just was and always had been there, became something of immeasurable value to me. We were told our son, Jake, then 8, had Type 1 diabetes, and he was sent straight to a children's hospital." - J.D. Rucker

The minister matter-of-factly explained that he had made a "minor error in his calculations," The Times said." - J.D. Rucker

From the page: We all know that a picture is worth a thousand words. Beyond the usual lines of text and blue links, visual search engines can present results and relationships that are more quickly grasped, as well as flexible ways to browse and explore. As the web becomes increasingly image- and video-based, it just makes sense to scan certain results visually. - J.D. Rucker
