From the top of the page: "It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity. - Albert Einstein"

How exactly are acquisitions inhumane? Any time I've heard of someone getting acquired by Google, they were happy about it.

That quote doesn't appear to be specific to this post. It's on every page of the blog. For example:

Ah, then it's a bad idea because it seems to be casting judgement on it. (And probably many other pages.)
