In the U.S., we spent last week celebrating Independence Day -- the day we split from a government that our ancestors didn't trust because it was disconnected from the people. It is fascinating to watch the leaks coming out lately, which suggest our government is acting against the best interests of the people, given that the focus is to neutralize the leakers rather than refocus government attention on the people's needs. ...

There was a huge battle between GM and Microsoft at COMDEX years ago, when Bill Gates said, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving US$25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
