Reducing Hotel Room Germs

all hotel remotes should be touch-screen androids with IR ports. Easier to kill germs!

America is land of opportunity, not a guarantee

It may be good to have some friends that are slight qualifiers/realists. Otherwise, optimism might turn pessimistic.

Why NBA superstars like LeBron get the benefit of the doubt (vs other sports)

hockey (forwards), fb(QB), baseball (1 in 9), b-ball (complete freedom spatial + no real set roles + no time restrictions)

Imagine if america was a dictatorship

you can let 1% of the ppl have all the nation's wealth
you can help rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes
and bailing them out when they gamble and lose

How does 30 million new Americans get Health Insurance

I thought Obamacare will tax the upper-middle class to paid for new doctors for the lower-middle class.

Then, I heard that actually the Affordable Heath Act will re-shift unnecessary Medicar(e) - Elderly - procedures and only require slight retraining of same # of doctors.

Losing Contacts on a Phone is still Quite a Possibility

Given the four major ways to store contacts on a phone:

1) internal phone memory
2) SIM card/Micro-SIM
3) MicroSD Card
4) Cloud
     a) Phone manufacturer cloud
     b) if distributed device OS, then platform cloud (ie. Google cloud)
     c) Network cloud

&& possible different interpretations of the atomicity of a contact
1) email address stored in cloud (for user 1)
2) phone # store only in internal phone memory (for same user 1)
3) different views on contacts in cloud/device (ie. "All Contacts" vs "My Contacts")
4) different accounts in the same cloud

It's no wonder that contacts are still getting lost. :-}
