My Mother has a bit of a fascination with these, going so far as to put a "rock shop" in her garage. Here's a blurry image of one that she gave me (after I wore down the polish a bit). http://i.imgur.com/IhvgT

Edit: Just to clarify, I don't agree with anything Levandwoski has done and both he and Uber should face repercussions for their actions. With that said, there's a lot of "conspiracy"-esque hype around this guy that I th

A lot of people are blaming Levandwoski for deceiving Google as though he were some sort of evil mastermind. Given the lack of care he's taken to hide from these inevitable accusations, one must question the intelligence of his actions
