We’ve been talking a lot internally about how to approach the e-discovery roadblocks our customers are feeling pain about. As mentioned in a previous post, E-Discovery seems like an overly broad and at this point, totally overused term. Its the perfect problem for us; full of complexity,...

From Hacker/Essayist Paul Grahams Mind the Gap Will technology increase the gap between rich and poor? It will certainly increase the gap between the productive and the unproductive. That’s the whole point of technology. With a tractor an energetic farmer could plow six times as much land...
