I've seen too much news trying to spin the "Tesla raises $221MM" as a huge number. Sure, for most of us that hack away on web apps, $221 million is insanely high, but it's important to remember that Tesla's operating at a loss of nearly hal

I wonder if Google has the proper Party connections to keep this mischief going — I suspect with the shenanigans they're playing they either don't or don't care about keeping them. There appear to be too many forces against them for this to

One of my last undergraduate reports as an economics student at the University of Michigan in 2007 was on the "true cost" of watered urinals vs. waterless urinals for the campus. The waterless ones were primarily used in the Dana (Environme

Scoble's video is cool, but I'd like to hear Rana play an actual one-hour set with these (and live mixing of various audio tracks.) I'm a little skeptical as to whether or not it'd be really repetitive and/or possible to really rock a full
