Great historical murder mystery: Review !

Great review on Amazon for my first novel:

“Coeur d’Alene Waters is a murder mystery that rises above the genre with language that is simultaneously lyrical and hard-nosed…. an engaging story… This work of literary fiction has the tautness and complexity of the best of crime dramas.”

        — Review from Alec Clayton, author of 7 novels

Digital Rights Management got you down?

What if a chair only allowed 8 uses, and then self-destructed? Would that be ok with you? What if you purchased the chair… but um, only for 8 sits.

An interesting thought exercise (with real life wood and melting).  At the end, you’re just left with… a pile of wood.

Within ‘Somewhere’ We are transported to a time where the boundaries between what is real and what is simulated are blurred. We live online and download places to relax, parks and shopping malls. We can even interact with our friends as if they were in the same room with simulated tele-presence. Everyone is connected and immersed in nanorobotic replications of any kind of object or furnishings, downlodable on credit based systems. Distance and time become as alien as the ‘offline’

How Netflix Reinvented Itself

ramialkarmi:

One of the biggest and most persistent challenges facing a successful company is how to respond to a new generation of technology aimed at destroying the company’s core profit engine. Such technologies give consumers a better experience at a lower price.

It still might be the case that tech companies are having trouble finding specific skill sets in certain niches (think cloud software development, or Android programming), but there simply aren’t any signs pointing to a broad dearth of talent.
