Bots, Messenger and the future of customer service
In the 1970s, CFOs sat with CEOs and devised ways for upset consumers to not be able to get compensation easily. They put up automated phone systems and arcane and inflexible policies and rejoiced at how little the company had to "give up" to complaining customers.

...How to keep your investors invested
You did it. You secured your funding. Good for you. You tirelessly developed, pitched, sold, maybe even danced a little. Not a song and dance, but a display of passion, commitment and promise. You successfully instilled the confidence investors need to see before signing on the dotted line.

The runt of Rhodes
(Scott Johnson) Obamacare was built on an edifice of calculated lies. Some of us could see the propositions on which President Obama sold Obamacare as falsehoods at the time of the selling. Others have learned from bitter experience after the buying. President Obama and his team hold a low opinion of the intelligence of the American people. See, for example, the case of Jonathan Gruber. Having elected him president twice, we have

'Captain America: Civil War' mostly ignores the real world, and it's all the better for it
I'll be honest: I was kind of nervous about this one. In the run-up to this weekend's release of Captain America: Civil War, I'd seen some fond recollections of the decade-old comic book (written by Mark Millar and pencilled by Steve McNiven) that the movie is based on, but here's the objective truth: Civil War is a bad comic, with strained references to post-9/11… Read More
