I wonder what all the other people who claim they are secure are actually doing. See the article here.

Maybe this article describes one of the reasons why I like to work late.

I saw this article and it really made me think about what is really buried and most often, we have no idea…

Everything now comes down to the quarterly report and keeping shareholders happy. Corporations now rely on government or academic labs yet, the same people push government to shrink and divest themselves of these basic research labs. Where will the basic science and knowledge come from? Probably as something found through product development and not from the interest of “just needing to know.”

It takes a long time to build a research and design team so all the people know how each other works, what their interests are and how to support each other. Research teams are built over time, not assembled on a whim for a product design need.

This article I found on the Wired Blog.

It is wonderful how they seem to know and we don’t pay attention.
