These are some of the richest people debating whether to stop people from seeking to work elsewhere. Absolutely despicable. Hat's off to Palm for seeking the reasonably route.

It’s amazing how little we know about how others dream and visualize:

Do you see 3d or 2d? Is there smells? Are there color? Is there sound? Do people talk? Can you feel touch?
