Welcome to a new feature: Survey Sunday! We’ll be posting one survery a week, every Sunday, to get your opinions, ideas, and insights! Why? Well because it’s fun and we want to hear from you!
(Note the surveys may be acting a bit funny – still figuring out why.)
And our survery this week:

OK, it may just be me – but this week WWDC and E3 kind of felt the same to me.
I don't know if it's a case of perspective. Perhaps I'm just used to seeing things from a "high-level" analysis point of view and I saw them as part of the same trends and patterns. But it didn't feel like a case of perspective; it felt like I was seeing two things that were way too much a like.
The new technology. The analysis of the trends by the pundits. The market talk. The discussion of repercussions. More new technology. More analysis.
I've done my part to help you out here. I remember when I was young like you, full of ambition, so nerdy I could be a comic character, and glad to take advantage of a booming economy. You are truly like me except the economy we've handed you is a turd-filled smoking ruin of lies and deceit.
I'm sorry about that. Believe me I don't think I played any part in it I'm willing to admit in public. There's no apology for the people who did the damage – most of them should be driven from public office, pulpits, talk shows, and universities, if not in jail. It sucks and I wish you were in a better economic state.
