Not that famously it seems. He frets about traffic decline and wants to be more widely read, yet his headlines have inside jokes?

The entire Apple's New Market section is muddled. Apple will "leave smartphones behind" for "foundational services" which are accessed...through a smartphone.

Reasonable assertions followed by breathless hype for the Apple watch.

Bing is just on Siri and Spotlight in Yosemite. All versions of Safari still default to Google. In fact that default deal will end soon, and Bing and Yahoo want to replace Google as the default.

If working shifts were staggered that would do more to reduce congestion I think.

Far more likely are car accidents and new frontiers in insurance liability.

Are there any young sexy hipster actuarial startups? The bidding war starts now.

If it weren't for Microsoft charging for software, he wouldn't have leverage to make this demand for free access. ;)

Consumerization of PRC!

It wouldn't cost much to hire some recent illustration or design school grads and have them do nothing but test the Surface all day and give feature and usability suggestions. Asking a busy person like the Penny Arcade artist to offer suggestions right before the ship date, and then use his suggestions in post-ship date fixes is just half assed.
