From the perspective of wanting to get paid for your work, you will want to consider the same things that investors do because the company won't be able to pay you if they run out of money. Do they have a product that people will pay money

Wait a minute. We're supposed to be upset that the feds took a guy's computer after they matched his fingerprints to a bomb bag used in the Madrid train bombings that killed almost 200 people? And we're supposed to believe this was ethnic h
