...lived in Flint, Mich., for 27 years and worked for GM. The company's problem is simple: arrogance of the worst kind. Its management will not listen to others. GM cars are poorly designed. Corporate officials and the outdated, unionized workforce can't get along. The result is a company with two antagonistic groups--an unhappy union and an overbearing management.

...doesn’t have to be this way. No one internets the Internet or webs the web—we’ve stuck with obscure transportation or shopping metaphors: surf (perhaps stolen from television), browse, or navigate. We don’t go iPodding-rather, we listen to an iPod—and whatever it would mean to mp3 something, it’s not obvious I’ve ever done it.Still, history suggests a great diversity of ways in which we’ve attached verbs to technology. When the car was invented...
