Links of the week, Sept 3rd

Google Everywhere - An article by Knowledge @ Wharton (from the Wharton School of Business) about the growth of Google and future implications. I have started to become a Google Geek, loving everything they have. I use their office productivity software, to have access to all my files from any computer without having to carry a data stick; we use Google calendar to let each other know of our appointments (used in a very limited fashion right now, but soon to change). I also use AdSense on my blog. Sprint will be debuting a new Google Android phone soon, the HTC Hero as well. I also had the foresight to buy stock in Google when it decreased in price due to the economy dragging it down, which as of right now, is giving me a really nice return .

Health Care Reform Compromise - Op-Ed piece in NY Times by Bill Bradley, former US Senator from NJ, discussing President Obama’s health care initiative. He discusses how it would gain bipartisan support if it is combined with tort reform. A little give and take by both sides of the aisle, Republicans support national health care if Democrats support tort reform. I personally think that tort reform NEEDS to be done, probably more so than health care reform, as the article states, they would both affect each other, thus enabling, hopefully, some kind of change.

Health Care Reform - Article from The NYTimes discussing health care reform from the Blue Dog Democrates view, whose votes will be essential if the Democrates want to pass their reform.
