How Self-Driving Cars Could Lead US Citizens to Revolt

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.

If You Search, Advertise on, Invest in, or Have Kids Who Use Google, You Must See This

I have a fascination with litigation. One of my early career choices was to become an attorney, and I was actually mentored for a time by a judge.

If Microsoft Built a Car, It Would Be Like a Tesla

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."

The current problem is that the U.S. appears to be conducting a cyberwar against its citizens. ...
