The countess is not for turning
(Scott Johnson) When it comes to a life of crime and the related imperatives, the Countess of Chappaqua is a hard-core offender. Like her husband, she is one tough case. Having skated from the email scandal, she persists in the talking points that FBI Director James Comey destroyed (if he did nothing else) in his statement and testimony this week. Clinton appeared on CNN for a post-Comey interview with Wolf Blitzer on

Insurance is ready for an upgrade
Insurance may be widely perceived as a sleepy backwater when it comes to innovation in technology, but that's about to change. Whether the transformations to come — which we expect to impact the industry on a number of different fronts — end up bolstering a particular insurer's future or undermining it depends on whether they seize the opportunity to reinvent their… Read More

(The original French lyrics are by Jacques Demy.) John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey recently raved about the Bennett/Evans version of the

One-Sided History
Barack Obama "has come to a number of dovetailing conclusions about the world, and about America's role in it," Jeffrey Goldberg wrote in an essay earlier this year based on his extensive interviews with the commander in chief. He continued:
The first is that the Middle East is no longer terribly important to American interests. The second is that even if the Middle East were surpassingly important, there would still be little an American president could do to make it a better place. The third is that the innate American desire to fix the sorts of problems that manifest themselves most drastically in the Middle East inevitably leads to warfare, to the deaths of U.S. soldiers, and to the eventual hemorrhaging of U.S. credibility and power.

France v. Portugal, a preview
(Paul Mirengoff) France will play Portugal tomorrow for the Euro 2016 championship. France is heavily favored, and rightly so. France is the home team. Its squad is superior to Portugal's. And France has been the better team throughout the tournament. France has won five out of its six matches in regulation time (the exception was draw against a pretty good Swiss side). Portugal has only won one of its six matches in

Are Blacks Disproportionately Involved In Police Shootings?
(John Hinderaker) Listening to liberals like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, you would think that enormous numbers of black men are being gunned down by police officers. When the issue is debated, many take it for granted that a vastly disproportionate number of blacks are involved in police shootings–in fact, if you didn't know better, you might think that only blacks are ever shot by policemen. The numbers tell a different story.

The reality of AR/VR survival
VR will be big, AR will be bigger (and take longer). But as in most early-stage tech markets, growth will be curved, not straight. There will be a few billion dollars of revenue this year, a progressive ramp in 2017 and a hoped-for inflection point in 2018 (when AR could deliver that magic combination of hero device, long battery life, cellular capability, strong app ecosystem and telco… Read More
