While I'm sure iPhone owners would appreciate an updated keyboard, what Apple really needs to do is just loosen its stranglehold on iOS

While it's certainly nice that Apple wants to give its users a consistent experience, as long as they control iOS and the hardware it runs on they can assure the out-of-box experience is predictable. This is unlike the +Android experience which can vary widely depending on which brand of phone you buy. 

However, Apple could do its users a huge favor by simply allowing them to change the default apps the way Android has done since version 1.0. Whether it's browsers, mail clients or keyboards, let people select the apps they want to use. 

Hey Apple, What The Next iPhone Really, Really Needs Is A Much Better Keyboard | TechCrunch
What the next iPhone really really needs is not an even bigger screen, flatter icons, flexible widgets or live tiles, or even crystal-ball-gazing cards. Or Facebook Home. That list is just garnish com…

Mental health care is important and there are real problems that people need help with

I don't want to discount the importance of mental health, but it seems clear that in recent decades under the influence of the pharmaceutical industry, mental health care has devolved into more of a money machine than a concern for what is in the best interests of the patient.

Controversial update to ‘bible’ of psychiatry fuels debate over foundations of mental health
For years, the diagnosis of mental illness has largely relied upon one book — the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM. Published by the American Psychiatric Association…

Next week and probably for months to come, +Fisker Automotive will be raked over the coals by hypocritical politicians

Surprisingly Fisker Automotive hasn't yet filed for bankruptcy protection, but but that is a formality will almost inevitably happen very soon. But as Mark Rechtin of Automotive News points out, like the vast majority of startups, the failure of Fisker was always far more likely than its success and private investors will lose far more money than the government. At less than $10 billion spent on green energy loan programs, the total is a pittance compared to what is squandered every year on subsidies for the oil industry and agri-business. Let's not even talk about the waste on military contractors. 

Don't forget that the vast majority of those loan programs went not to startups but to companies like Nissan and Ford and it will be paid back with interest.
