One can read the Bible on various different levels: as a historical document, a document specifically for you, and so on.

It has many surprises (like the example you gave). Heck, if the Old Testament was made into a movie, it'd be R rated.

My current favorite scripture is the origin of the pet. It's in Genesis 2:18-19. Adam was lonely in the Garden of Eden, so God provided Adam with animals for companionship. Adam gave a name to every one of his animal friends.

It's an endlessly fascinating book. I have many versions of it for study, but I prefer the King James.

I'd say $168.00 is reasonable and fair, and an inexpensive way to clear your conscience and square up with the creator/rightsholder.

I disagree. the site is fine IMO. It communicates the message clearly.

Of course it's for increased shopping through mobile. My daughter bought a Kindle and she admitted her ebook purchases have increased tenfold. Others have told me similar.

I'm deathly afraid to get one for the same reason.

Frictionless purchases and vertical channel integration makes perfect sense to me.

This book might be of interest to you: https://leanpub.com/indoctrinator

I haven't read it though, so I can't comment on it's efficacy.

I don't like the wording here:

The majority of our coins are swept and placed in cold storage often so this shouldn't be a major issue right now.

It leaves too much wiggle room. It's like saying:

At least some coins have not been placed in cold storage so this could be an issue.

Does not look good.

Without question, it would be Masters of Love via The Atlantic: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/06/happily-ev...

It may be a bit too short to qualify as long form, but boy, was it an eye-opener for me.

Haters gonna hate, but I think it was a cool thing Kim Dotcom did. I think it's time to put my Mega account to use.
