" The message is that there are no knowns; there are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns; that is to say that there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns; there are things we do not know we don't know. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns. "

We are convinced that an open-source browser is the future of the Web, and market share issues are not telling the long-term story of what's going to happen.

"The Dixie Chicks have taken a big hit lately for exercising their basic right to express themselves. For them to be banished wholesale from radio stations, and even entire radio networks, for speaking out is un-American.
