Link. Seriously cool integration with desktop Chrome. Very impressive.

Link. I wonder if Google’s iOS map strategy will leverage Chrome browser.

Link. “.. Roberts got the court to say that, though the law was a tax, it was not subject to the 1867 Anti-Injunction Act preventing judicial review of taxes until they are actually collected.” That was a hell of a trick.

Link. “Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) reportedly compared the Supreme Court decision upholding President Obama’s health care law to the September 11 attacks.” Running to be governor of Indiana, not New York.

Link. “A former constitutional law professor who had carefully reviewed the court proceedings, Obama was well aware that it was one of Verilli’s arguments, that the mandate could also be considered a tax penalty instead of an imperative to purchase insurance, that had ultimately swayed Chief Justice John Roberts, who joined the majority opinion”

Link. Great minds.

Link. There will be ways to force coverage anyway.

Link. “June 9th, 2012: Updated the “best camera under $700″ to account for a new Sony camera”

Link. Small experiment, but persuades me. Also, I like the use of “co-evolution” in the article. We have shaped dogs, they have shaped us. “… of the 15 dogs in the experiment that showed person-oriented responses when the stranger cried, all of them directed their attention towards the stranger rather than their owner.”

Link. “everyone gets a vote. Therefore your country has universal health coverage. What‘s the problem here?” China has an excuse, it’s a tyranny.

Link. From a fan of the ACO/HMO idea: ““I hope I’m wrong about this, but I believe that with some exceptions, ACOs will not succeed,” she says. “ACOs will implode just as capitated HMOs imploded in the 1990s. People say that won’t happen because we have better data now. Wish it were true, but we don’t have better data now. The electronic medical record systems don’t talk to each other and the public health insurance exchanges are largely a dream waiting to happen, rather than a reality.”

Link. Surprising Medicaid expansion decision or non-decision

Link. “The idea that the mandate is something separate from whether you want to call it a penalty or tax just doesn’t seem to make much sense,” Roberts said, over strong objections from attorney Gregory Katsas. “It’s a command. A mandate is a command. If there is nothing behind the command, it’s sort of, well what happens if you don’t file the mandate? And the answer is nothing. It seems very artificial to separate the punishment from the crime. … Why would you have a requirement that is completely toothless? You know, buy insurance or else. Or else what? Or else nothing.”

Link. “When there is a Wall Street Journal article that I feel I must read, I paste or type the full title into Google and the [full text] article appears at or near the top of the search list.”

Link. “…we are using WP for almost all new developments, dropping the likes of Joomla or Drupal. WordPress is now used by close to 60% of the top 10,000 sites.” Steep learning curve, but might as well get on this train. My FrontPage site is a bit old.
