(2012-06-13) Mace Zekira Context Engine Crowdfunding

Michael Mace and a team are working on a Zekira "ConText Engine", and are seeking Crowd Funding for it on Indie Gogo.

Take all the information held by a mid-career professional and stuff it into a 20-year-old's head and he or she will have the same problems... they constitute a huge loss in productivity among the busiest and most pivotal people in the economy...
