Google Readies the Guillotine for Annoying Ads
The user experience on the Internet of late has taken on the feeling of 1980s Times Square, a bit sleazy and advertising everywhere. Google is about to clean up many of the most annoying ads.

Mega-Trend: Millennials Associate Homeownership with the American Dream More So Than Generation X or Baby Boomers
Alan Berger and Joel Kotkin, authors of Infinite Suburbia, recently had a good interview with the Hyperloop One blog on the resurgence of suburbia. I thought this was interesting: From 1980 to 2003 in the U.S., rural landmass conversion to urbanized areas was about the size of New York State. From 2003 to 2030 the […]
