Investor names are usually mentioned to establish social proof, but I find that it's rarely the case that the article itself focuses on the investor not the company. For his example RockMelt, I just picked 4 random stories from Google News

Let's assume he denies this, which is a likely scenario. This puts me in a tough spot. The logician in me wants to agree with you. From her description, it was a secluded section of the bar so no one else probably saw. It would be her w

Of anyone I've read or seen (in person or from videos), Feynman has the best fundamental grasp of meta-knowledge. By meta-knowledge, for lack of a better term, I mean understanding what it means to know something. mhartl has already posted
