Firefox is the best web browser. I'm starting to like Safari too...

Mark Zuckerberg should not be replaced as CEO of Facebook. Outrageous! Replace him as CEO because he can't make all the people happy all the time? He's trying to maneuver his company in a fast-paced environment and has been wonderfully successful to date. I'm not saying he's done everything right, but I'm saying there's no foundation for thinking someone else can do it better.

Employers should have the right to fire workers for content posted on social networking sites. The right... yes.

Mozilla Firefox is the most secure Internet browser. I have to believe that the open source model for a stable product both approaches security more than others and is verifiable. Who actually knows what Internet Explorer's code looks like?

The Internet has had a positive impact on the film industry. Uh... for many mundane reasons. Though I think the jury is still out as to whether it's a long term benefit.

The U.S. should convert to the metric system. It would make life easier for the next generation if we could get rid of all the confusion the English have caused throughout the centuries with their very impractical systems.

Firefox will surpass Internet Explorer in global market share. I am having trouble seeing Microsoft stay competitive with all hte baggage. I'm finding their new generation of applications and tools to be firmly pointed in the wrong directions. I confess that about 30% of the things I used to be able to do with IE or

Computer literacy is not an important qualification for the presidency. It's not even a qualification... let alone an important one. The job description of "president" does not anywhere require computer literacy any more than it used to require shorthand or typing. Today, we have a president that has a fundamental lack of app

If a nuclear weapons program is discovered in Iran, I would not support a preemptive military strike. Neither would I support one if nuclear weapons were discovered in Canada. Sovereign nations are going to one day obtain nuclear weapons - we can't just bomb everyone that does.

Cell phones should not be banned in public schools. After giving it some thought... I wouldn't ban the phones themselves, but I'd certainly ban their use... except in the case of emergencies.

A significant percentage of consumers will not replace all of their personal electronic devices with an iPhone. At some point some device will replace everything... but not the iPhone....

There should not be a permanent moratorium on state and local taxes on Internet access. I don't see why one industry that is particularly lucrative already should essentially be given a free ride. Is this a backdoor effort to get rid of all sales taxes entirely?

Should Washington give up on the idea of holding Iraq together as a single nation and accept an equitable partition of territory and resources as the best remaining hope for avoiding civil war? Yes.
