...variety of subjects but few people truly know things, the superficiality of our knowledge renders us vulnerable. Sure, there’s Factcheck.com. But who fact-checks the fact-checkers? Without our own knowledge to draw on, we must rely on the kindness of strangers. Admittedly, people who edit massive online encyclopedias in their spare time are probably not dangerous psychopaths, but there are plenty of pranksters out there who add things like “My dad knew him” to articles on Idiosyncrasy. This is hilarious, but without some tidbits bouncing around our own crania, we become...
...career high point for Davis, who started in advertising at the age of 19, after his father died and he had to take over the family public relations business.

Zoho has spreadsheet, word-processing, presentation and organizing programs, and lets you work both online and off; it even has an iPhone app. Google Docs, which focuses on collaboration, lets you upload and edit existing Word and PowerPoint files, then chat in real time as you work on presentations and reports with colleagues. Because the applications reside on the Web, developers can quickly eliminate bugs and add bells and whistles, like the ability to insert headers, footers and pagination (all of which were recently added to Zoho Writer). The programs still feel simple...
Graves: You asked earlier about misunderstandings. I think this is the greatest one. We give far more initial 'NC-17's for violence than we ever do for sex. But what happens is, those films don't go to the press. They just edit it until they get to the top end of 'R.' Anybody who gets an 'NC-17' for sex, though, goes immediately to the press because they love the publicity. Somehow it's not as sexy to get it for violence. I know it's a matter of economics. Filmmakers don't want to limit their audiences...
