Be Assured. ravi.kumarv@cgi.com. Fri, 10/25/2013 - 08:00. I’ll let you into a little secret: I don’t know everything about IT.

'The post else 10.21: Are Drones Over Burning Man “Evil”? appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog.

In one strip published long ago (I may be assigning quotes to the wrong characters, but you'll get the point), B.C. asks one of his compadres, "Thor, how far can you see?"
