[LINK] Ten things that will change the world?

[rchirgwin at ozemail.com.au]

It seems that you're too cynical to fully appreciate the magical 
interface between the credulous and the crapulous!

Ahh but what a list this was: unlaunched products, crap services, 
recycling of urban myth and "mob mind" pseudo-science (Quote: According 
to Pesce, the mob is "faster, smarter and stronger than you are" - which 
explains I suppose why the Cronulla rioters were right and I'm wrong. 
Not.), old technology dressed as new, and the relentless promotion of 
privacy invasion as a good thing.

Oh, and OLPC: a guilt ointment for the rich, so that starving people can 
look for recipes on the Internet.

Such lists always bring out the worst in me!
