  Fliers Must Turn Off Devices, but It’s Not Clear Why

  Yeah, why? This regulation baffles me as well, especially when I’ve been flying quite a bit earlier this year. And on those flights where checks are relatively less stringent, I’m certain that more than “two people per Boeing 737” had their devices remained on during takeoffs and landings (partly because my friend and I are guilty of it, sometimes)

  And I still remember there was this incident eons ago, where I was politely told to switch off my Creative MP3 player while the plane took off. But I think my MP3 player had absolutely zero chip in it that is capable of emitting any form of radio signal or the sorts.

  So why?

  Idolize Bill Gates, Not Steve Jobs

  Not the kind of title I really like, but that’s just media being media. Titles have to be catchy, and sometimes misleading. But I agree, if looking beyond the business world, Gates’ efforts in fighting the world’s most difficult issues is tremendous and praise-worthy.

  Just to end with words from the man himself:

  I hope you will reflect on what you’ve done with your talent and energy. I hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional accomplishments alone, but also on how well you work to address the world’s deepest inequities, on how well you treat people a world away who have nothing in common with you but their humanity.

  Zuckerberg's Interview at Y Combinator Startup School

  Zuck shed some light on his vision for the network. “I think the story that we look back will be the apps and things that are built on top of Facebook. The past five years have been about being connecting people and the next five to ten years are about what are all the things that can be built now that these connections are in place.”
