I find it interesting that Kagan, a former prosecutor, sees no problem with this, while Roberts, a former defense attorney, does. How many members of the SC are former prosecutors, and is there any further alignment with voting? What is now

Yes, moissanite is a 9.25-9.5 on the Mohs scale, whereas Sapphire is only a 9. Moissanite doesn't really occur naturally on Earth though (although it is believed to form around carbon-rich stars).

Thank you for correcting me, I skimmed the article quickly after realizing it wasn't really about Jobs and clearly misread something.

The title appears to be link-bait in order to discuss the (so far unsuccessful) effort to get another American of Syrian decent (Khalil Gibran) on a postage stamp.

This is now the second time I'm aware of Google essentially vetoing a technology in favor of performance (MathML being the first). Seeing it happen twice now is a little disconcerting. It feels like Google is eschewing a responsibility
