Fighting the "War on Ignorance". Submitted by randall on Sat, 07/25/2015 - 12:50. I just returned from a large, well managed conference in Portland (you know the one), and this was one of the ideas that stood out as excellent, at least in my opinion: Sticker Table!

I thought i had successfully wrapped up my rant on how "smart" phones aren't, but evidently there's still work to do. Some people don't get what's important or what innovation is. A soft ball.". A step backward.". The specs aren’t exactly impressive.". A phone that is so middle of the road it could be arrested for jaywalking.". This first step is more like a stumble.".
