I like to make predictions about things, so my completely uninformed prediction is you're building an analytics app of some kind. there's lots of timestamped data sitting around in databases these days. might be nice to visually display it

not entirely true, although i think you are being a little facetious. this device seems a lot more open in general (use of flash for example).

just curious, is there a reason why you list the par value of common at $0.0001 and not $0.00001 (note the extra 0 there)? i'm guessing there would be a difference in taxes under delaware (ie $100 for 10mm at $0.0001 vs. $1,000 for 10mm at

throttling is effectively slowing the bits down. in comcast's case, they have been shown to block p2p transfers entirely via packet forgery (comcast pays sandvine to do this).
