We try to cover and comment on one interesting story or concept a day on Technology Evangelist. This allows us to focus on generating quality content that is both informative and opinionated. However, one drawback to this is some stories fall through the cracks. So today I'm throwing things open to you - our readers - to share your opinions with us on a few stories I've found interesting, but haven't been able to investigate in depth enough to warrant full posts:
