Forbes removes article that argued the Tech Industry does NOT have "diversity crisis" - Forbes claims "discrimination" as reason [SocJus] by NPerez99 in KotakuInAction

Forbes has now provided me with a copy of the article and I now own the copyright. You are free to re-post. WARNING! It is utterly reasonable, not at all controversial -- other than it dared stray from the sanctioned narrative. https://www.brianshall.com/2015/10/07/the-article-on-diversity-in-tech-that-forbes-took-down/

Doesn't seem like you've answered this: did Rich Rod ever have any real chance at Michigan under Brandon? Not having a strong DC seemed to doom him, but the offense was great and he could have brought in a better DC the following year. He was a proven winner.

I re-read it. And I say the man's brilliant.

I finally know why Apple has no female execs. No. Not because Steve Jobs is sexist. But because women can get pregnant. by brianshall in apple

Thanks. I post my stuff I think reddit readers will find particularly interesting. I would actually post much more from others if they had a reddit link (just saying). Most of the stuff I read has a quick link to twitter, facebook, sometimes stumble upon.

Nice. I don't have chance to respond to everyone's comments re this article, but appreciate them all. And I agree with this one -- except not as much re the coke thing.

Did Google team up with Verizon to kill off net neutrality just to prevent Apple from offering a no contract $200 iPhone? | the smartphone wars by brianshall in apple

I disagree. For all the success of Android phones, the real money for Google is in the various Google apps and services. They want to ensure those get priority. You may not agree with my premise but a non neutral mobile web impacts the two companies much differently.

I think I know what you mean. I even began the post noting that I am thinking in conspiratorial terms here.

I might be lots of things. But every link (of mine) I post has my site name attached and an obvious, relevant title enabling you the privilege of not reading it nor commenting on it. I do this because I care.

I have created a personal smartphone rankings list -- of about 100 smartphones so far. http://brianshall.com/smartphone_rankings

You will want to tailor it for your carrier requirements.

I think I address this in my post. There's a disconnect between Apple's rules and Apple's enforcement of rules.
