Our computer files arent like they used to be. These days a short HD video can be over a gigabyte in size. That's huge. The problem is that the bigger they are, the harder they are to share. Thankfully, we have options that make sharing big files ove
The book business hasn't changed very much in the past 500 years. Someone writes a book. Someone publishes it. And you buy it and carry it around until you're done reading it. Then if you're a book lover, you repeat this process for lots, and lots, a
One of the problems with trying to use less stuff is that sometimes we feel like we really need it. What if you live in a city like, say, Cleveland, and you want a glass of water? Are you going to take your chances and get it from the city tap? Or sh
Here we go again. In my lifetime, formercolonies gained independence, and then finally they started to get healthier,and healthier, and healthier. And in the 1970s, then countries in Asia and LatinAmerica started to catch up with the western countrie
Exactly how is that environmentally responsible? The problems start here with extraction and production, where oil is used to make water bottles. Each year, making the plastic water bottles used in the U.S. takes enough oil and energy to fuel a milli

How doyou go shopping? You get in your car and you drive to Walmart. You grab youritems and fill up your cart. When you have all of your items, you go to thecheckout and wait in line. The clerk scans each of your items, and totals them up and bags th
Can I tell you, I love my Pantene Pro-V. Of the dozen or so personal care products I use every day, it's the one I can't live without. Says it gives my dull hair the ultimate cool shine. How does it do that? I was wondering that while I was lathering
So, herewe go. First, an axis for health: life expectancy, from 25 years to 75 years.And down here, an axis for wealth: income per person, four hundred, fourthousand, and forty thousand dollars. So down here is poor and sick, and uphere is rich and h
A growing movement of scientists, students, farmers and forward-thinking business people are all saying Wait a minute! In fact, even the economists who invented the cap and trade system to deal with simpler problems like fertilizer pollution and sulf
Evernote is my personal digital assistant, always at the ready to record my thoughts and capture interesting stuff I see. I use Evernote to create notes, clip interesting web pages, store my PDFs and even snap photos. The best thing about Evernote is
Business today is different. More than ever before, we work in teams that are spread out across the globe. Unfortunately, our current means of sharing information are inadequate or overly complex. Email, hard to keep track of all those versions and f
Devils one and two, cap and giveaway and offsetting, make the system unfair and ineffective. But the last devil which I called distraction makes it downright dangerous. You see there are real solutions out there, but cap and trade with its loopholes
You've probably been sick before. It's not fun. In many cases, like the flu, you're sick because of a virus. Tiny germs ready to multiply and spread from person to person, via handshakes or sneezes. Computer viruses are no different. Instead of germs
