I mostly read my regular news sources using +Google Reader and +Flipboard and supplement with links from Google+, Facebook and Twitter. I also save off longer articles for later consumption (such as when I'm walking the dog) through Readability. I don't have any publication specific apps (from web sites or newspapers) on any of my devices. These apps clutter up my devices and lock me in without offering any added value.  What about you?

The results of this comparison should come as a surprise to no one that's paying any attention. As sultry as +Fisker Automotive Karma looks, it's just not particularly well executed.  By all accounts it's an under-engineered designer's dream machine. The +Chevrolet Volt on the other hand was engineered to bring the extended range EV concept to the masses in a comparatively no compromises way (aside from the initial price tag). It's not perfect but it's a tremendous first effort.

While I agree with +Vic Gundotra that making fun of what others believe is usually ineffective, I would never deny anyone the right to try.  I feel that the freedom to express oneself, either eloquently or just to prove what an ass you are is the most fundamental freedom we have. 

Reshared post from +Vic Gundotra

Making fun of other people's belief's isn't an effective way to get them to reason. 

I'll admit that I haven't found a way to breakthrough irrational crowd (congregation) based belief systems. But poking at people isn't the way to do it.
