It’s the season of giving—but not everything we give or receive this time of year is something we want or mean to share. This head cold, for instance. Where did it come from? Who’s going to catch it next? What’s the best way to a) stop the spread of infection and b) enact my revenge […]
‘Twas two weeks before Christmas, and all through the shop, not a device was offline, not even the mop. Yes, Santa’d invested in a high-speed cable. It was all “smart” and “connected” and WiFi-enabled—from tree to HVAC unit, things blinking with lightlike Rudolph’s schnoz, but not quite as bright. It caused an elf (named Eflie) […]

Ready for a game? Let’s play “Secret Code of Conduct.” See if you can guess the name of this organization based on the following excerpt from its code of conduct:
If you run a business, you make the rules. Tape a note to your bathroom mirror, or print it out in big letters and hang it on a string from the ceiling in your office—whatever you do, burn these words into your brain; embody them with your actions:
