be 'Proactively Nice'

Operation NICE

Don't you love it when people go out of their way to be nice? Like when someone waits to hold the door for you. Or when a stranger waves you into a line a traffic. Or even when a coworker shoots you a friendly smile along with a "have a nice day." If everyone was a little bit nicer to the folks they encountered each day, perhaps the world would be a more pleasant place. Operation NICE was initiated to remind you that a little NICE goes a long way.

Fair Go For Billionaires

It's tough times. The rising cost of mansion maintenance. The exorbitant price of Lamborghini tires. The unenthusiasm of minimum wage help. For your average, everyday mining billionaire it hasn't been easy...

'should be yours to control'

iPad is iBad for freedom

DRM is used by Apple to restrict users' freedom in a variety of ways, including blocking installation of software that comes from anywhere except the official Application Store, and regulating every use of movies downloaded from iTunes. Apple furthermore claims that circumventing these restrictions is a criminal offense, even for purposes that are permitted by copyright law.
