Question - how can they avoid SEC regulation and rules? Being a market is a difficult and expensive thing to do.... [edit] looked at the FAQ, however they don't actually state WHICH of the exemptions they fall under. I thought if you issued

Other than Club Penguin and Pixar, has Disney done any acquisitions recently? These are the only two substantive ones I know of, but maybe there are more on the smaller scale?

Using it on a plane you'd have the wireless turned off, so hopefully it would last a bit longer. I don't know where he got his 4.5 hours for a macbook battery life - I've never gotten anywhere near that.

Great opportunity to meet Curt Schilling. Weird that Leah Culver is wearing sunglasses in her photo.

But why bother? Isn't the best thing for google to let these two companies merge and screw up?

This might sound silly - but I've found the best way to learn anything about math is to start w/ Wikipedia. Search for a topic you are interested in, like Calculus. Start there. Spend a few hours reading and clicking through links, finding

That would be very cool... I've read that scanning regular barcodes with a cameraphone is difficult, but I believe there are some people making headway with it. If it were music, I'd rather just make a call to a number, have it listen to wh

that's what I get for trying to be snarky.

This is very un-Steve. But either way - Only in SV would employees complain about 100% YOY growth. Come on people!

I don't understand why they force you to install an app. Why not just txt msg (MMS) or email it (iphone/blackberry) and then get a response with a URL or even some basic inline text commands?

site seems down right now (or at least really slow). Wasn't there a YC company doing this at some point? Is this one and the same (since view3.com seems to redirect to the same very slow and/or down stanford AI page)?

The ones everyone interested in CG should read: - All the papers before 1990. - Deep Shadowmaps - subdivision surfaces in char. animation The rest are neat (the ratatouille tech memos are fun if you want some insight into the Pixar process)

If you ever needed an example of what is wrong w/ all the panel-based demographic and analytics info sites - this is it. This kind of methodology works fine if you are analyzing a very very large site that many people use (facebook, myspace
