Trying to keep all this in mind and fix lunch at the same time is a challenge for me.

The change in emphasis for HTML5 away from just content and more toward functionality, coupled with a much deeper impact from Apple on the broader model of computing than even Apple’s most adamant fans could have anticipated, has led to a changed scenario for the Web. By this time next year, barring any delays, the Web delivery model for the world’s three most prevalent platforms - Windows, iOS, and Android - will be based on apps.

This changes the landscape for developers like Mozilla and Opera Software, whose value propositions to date have been based around building better browsers: If the user now bypasses the browser icon and goes directly to an app, how does a browser maker convince customers that there’s value in swapping out the engines that run their apps - components which, like graphics cards, they probably never see or even care about?………

Stop, look at the big picture, tackle the big problem, directly. Imagine what OUR country would be like without national debt. That is the goal. If it takes 20 years to get there, that’s fine. As Jerry says - Do it for the kids. I will take less government services and pay more tax IF it solves the problem. BUT it will not solve the problem so long as the perpetual profligate self interest persists in OUR government at all levels.

I am now getting off this horse. I have a garden to tend, and rivers to run and people to love.  But, we know in our hearts what I say is true.  The people we elected will either deal with the real problems we face or they won’t. If they do not it is only another sign of their cowardice.

this is why soccer is The Beautiful Game.

Japan’s Meteorological Agency said that there are still major Tsunamis to come, some as high as 8.1 magnitude and as late as next week. This is the biggest earthquake in Japan since records began over a century ago and fifth biggest in the world. 

The tsunami is higher than some Pacific islands and could go right over them.

The IAEA reports that four nuclear plants have safely shut down, but Japan’s PM will still issue a nuclear emergency statement at 9:30 GMT.
