Feb 28, 3:00PM
In some discussions about Greece exiting the euro, it has been suggested that Greece should swap the euro for bitcoin. At first glance, bitcoin may appear to be the cure.

Feb 28, 2:00PM
The tech industry used to be home to a disproportionate number of misfits and weirdos. Geeks. Nerds. People who needed to know how machines worked; needed to take them apart, make them better, and put them back together again.

It’s the end of another week in tech and what a week it’s been! The FCC passed new net neutrality regulations and then the Internet exploded.
