Why the NFL's TV Blackout Rule Is Now Self-Defeating
12:20 PM 9/25/2010
The NFL doesn't understand its own product. In the high-def age, NFL football games are better to watch at home -- and way cheaper to do so with ticket prices so high. Demanding that fans pack the stands hurts everyone, including the league itself.

Remember Beta vs VHS? Windows vs Mac? Once again, competing global standards are preparing to do battle, this time over smartphones and other mobile devices. A flood of new tablets is coming on a number of platforms, but only two or three are likely to win.
There's a massive doctor shortage coming. One solution: develop artificial intelligence that is as good as a real physician at diagnosis. But even if this is possible, will patients be willing to trust robot doctors with their health?
Game Over: Why the Console Business Is Doomed
9:22 AM 6/16/2010

11:00 AM 3/12/2010
On March 15, 1985, a computer company in Cambridge, Mass., registered the very first dot-com site. There were six by the end of the year. And 25 years later, a hundred thousand sites are registered every day, and it's hard to remember life without it, 25 years ago.
