12 Obama Calls for New Cooperation to Wrangle the 'Wild West' Internet
Lots of people are screaming over Obama's latest ploy to override internet protocol. Mr. Obama signed an executive order urging companies to join information-sharing hubs to exchange data on online threats -- and, in some cases, to receive classified information from the government. But the order stopped short of exempting the companies from liability if the data they collected and shared led to legal action.
As we've been warning all along, this is going to get ugly.

13 Quotes on Thinking
The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up and does not stop until you get into the office.
--Robert Frost
The human mind prefers to be spoon-fed with the thoughts of others, but deprived of such nourishment it will, reluctantly begin to think for itself and such thinking, remember is original thinking and may have valuable results.
--Agatha Christie
If you're going to think anyway, you might as well think big.
-- Donald Trump
