Turns out most people would rather eat than have a smartphone.

You won’t get the next billion until there’s progress on the number living in abject poverty.

Elmo is too cheap to give his customers real door handles when it can be done in software.

I pooh-poohed ChatGPT when it first came out so I gave it another crack at a technical issue I’ve been avoiding.
