When you have three years to plan out a website that is supposed to service the country, you would think that they would put in the right effort to make it work. The US government did not. They simply failed at this one. In March, Henry Chao, the chief digital architect for the Obama administration’
As strange as it may sound, it actually makes sense. The battle for wearable gadgets has the same basic advantages of real estate – location, location, location. If they can take up a spot, they will win, at least from Sony’s point of view. When it comes to real estate, the old axiom is

Yahoo Mail has been experiencing a major bug, following its revamp earlier this week. According to a number of reports, the service has been a
This isn’t a trend. It’s not a strange series of unrelated events. The way the US government handles its IT infrastructure has always fallen short. Here’s why. The rocky launch of the Department of Health and Human Services’ HealthCare.gov is the most visible evidence at the
There has been a love/hate relationship between politics in American (as well as around the world) and the microblogging site Twitter. Is the relationship a good thing? Is Twitter making things better? Is Twitter ruining America? That’s the somewhat hyperbolic claim made by Philip Bump in a recent p
