01 Net Neutrality: FCC Chief, Arizona techies, Telus, The storm before the calm, and more
Things seem to be moving along toward some real action, but when you look at the big picture, there’s not much to be done.

While the U.S. might regulate the Internet within its own borders, who knows what will happen in the rest of the world! Follow along:

08 Quotes: Steve Jobs said:
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
– said Steve Jobs
