We could definitely feature it more prominently but Foursquare does already collect and display whether venues take NFC payments :). Had it since right around when Apple Pay launched.

Didn't the torture come before the confession? Why would they torture him after they had his confession? He's beaten, kept in solitary confinement, then moved to the general population where he "confesses".

You barely deal with the movie at all other than summarizing half of the major plot points in unnecessary detail—this is more your personal political commentary than a movie review.

Also, you write that "When Omar and Nadja discuss escaping that world together after marriage, they can barely imagine leaving their neighborhood.", but they don't seem to live in the same neighborhood, right?

A bunch of interesting points, but I don't think making Twitter more like Facebook will help it succeed—Facebook already does most of these things incredibly well for an incredible number of people.

Very interesting…and I agree completely. A few weeks ago I went to my local hardware store to have a special key copied, and the owner of the store said that although they had the right equipment to do it, I'd be better off getting it done by a locksmith. Unless this is a sign that the hardware store is totally incompetent and useless (which I already know they aren't), it tells me that I'm dealing with an honest guy who cares more about me than his $2

You misspelled "research" in the third paragraph.

Very interesting article, nevertheless.
