I refer to the United States as "an undeveloping nation". I'm watching it happen in real time.

I do sometimes wonder if the US is just too darn big and disparate, and that trying to move an organisation like that forward is actually making the whole thing worse.

Because you end up with a situation where the parties end up defining themselves in opposition to each other, and complete deadlock, whereas if the areas were left to their own devices they might be able to move forward without it being a point of principal that they don't.

But I understand that the idea of the USA being broken up is inconcievable :->

Actually it seems like de facto dissolution of the USA is occurring. More & more it looks like the EU than like a nation state. So de juris dissolution isn't inconceivable.

Android Wear smartwatches make Google Glass obsolete

I'm seriously unconvinced. I don't care about getting texts or email w/o looking at my phone. What google glass can do that I want is AR navigation (which sadly seems to be the only sort of augmented reality it does), and easy and non-annoying access to a camera, neither of which a smartwatch can do. Of course, this generation of glass is also sufficiently limited (and expensive) that I'll wait for the 2nd (or more likely the 3rd) generation device.

I'm not entirely convinced by the navigation, from the little I've seen. But I've never playedwith one.

Give it two more versions to make it much awesomer and I think it will have value, but right now I'm not convinced.

Microsoft isn't even compatible with Microsoft.

The "War on Drugs" is really more a "War on Losing Our Jobs".
