Tagging may be the best way to make IoT contextually relevant and usable
With language like this, social networks become a natural point of interaction between people and things, and TAGs will make it seem effortless for us all. This is already the way existing entities on the Internet (including Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) create relevance and context for digital elements of graphics and text; it just needs to be extended to the things in the IoT.

Can Hillary Escape the Chevy Chase Curse?
(Steven Hayward) It was a popular legend back in 1976 that Chevy Chase's relentless mocking of Gerald Ford on Saturday Night Live helped cost him the election against Jimmy Carter. I doubt this is true; more likely a typical Hollywood/pop culture self-flattery along the lines of "Woodstock ended the Vietnam War" or something.

The iPad Pro is the most accessible computer Apple has ever built
I contend that the iPad is in many ways *more* versatile than a laptop for people with disabilities. Computing and productivity isn't always about a spec sheet or raw power or Photoshop. The iPad *is* a full-fledged computer, no question about it. After using a review unit for a while, I believe the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is the most accessible computer Apple has ever built. Read More

It is 561, not a trillion trillion. Hey, they're both really big numbers, if you're a reporter!

I failed to realize how big Twitter was going to become in the next decade, and, more importantly, what people would be… Read More
