Technology

Big Tech is Good. Big Tech is Bad.

It's Good when there is a single source of information about something I want to know -- or if not that, then a single source that reliably points me to multiple other sources (but not too many...and not too few....just enough.) Such as, how can I make the damn Notification Area on XP work the way I want, consistently.

It's Bad when there is a single source of information about something that the Government wants to know. Such as, is that Bill's (iris pattern/body type/credit card/drivers license).

Guess which one gets funded more often?
