Detroit: Urban Laboratory and the New American Frontier

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 21:00:02 +0000

The troubles of Detroit are well-publicized. Its economy is in free fall, people are streaming for the exits, it has the worst racial polarization and city-suburb divide in America, its government is feckless and corrupt (though I should hasten to add that new Mayor Bing seems like a basically ...

Is The Verizon Droid The Droid You're Looking For... Or One Of These 'Star Wars' Droids Instead?

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 22:36:10 +0000

The Verizon Droid is not the droid you're looking for. Sure, it's probably a very cool phone — the folks at Wired are talking about how it legitimately gives the iPhone a run for its money, despite a handful of minor grievances — but I must insist that you hold out for other droids. I know [...]

The Vampire Diaries “162 Candles” – review
